Product Information

Full details

The Excel Spoke Set (XS8-15197) is an essential upgrade for Honda CR125 owners (2002-2007) seeking to improve wheel integrity and durability during high-intensity riding. These high-grade stainless steel spokes offer superior tensile strength compared to factory components, making them ideal for competitive riders and weekend enthusiasts alike; however, users must ensure their rims feature the required 8.5 mm mounting holes to ensure proper compatibility.

FAQs

Does this set include the nipples?

Yes, the Excel Spoke Set comes complete with the necessary spokes and nipples for the rear wheel application.

Will these fit a 2008 Honda CR125?

No, this specific part number (XS8-15197) is engineered for 2002-2007 Honda CR125 models.

Can I use these with stock rims?

Yes, as long as the stock rims have the 8.5 mm hole size required for the spoke nipples.

Why is the tensile strength higher than OEM?

The use of 302 stainless steel and advanced manufacturing processes allows these spokes to handle higher stress loads without stretching or fatigue.

How often should I check spoke tension?

For active off-road use, it is best practice to check tension before every race or every few rides to ensure safety and wheel longevity.

Troubleshooting

Spokes loosening after installation

It is normal for new spokes to seat themselves. Perform a check and tensioning process after the first hour of operation.

Nipples do not fit through rim holes

Verify that your current rim features an 8.5 mm hole diameter. This set is not compatible with rims designed for different spoke hole sizes.

Wheel is not spinning true after installation

Use a wheel truing stand and a dial indicator to ensure even tensioning across all spokes, adjusting increments in a cross-pattern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Increased tensile strength compared to OEM parts
  • High-grade stainless steel prevents premature corrosion
  • Tailored fit for specific Honda CR125 model years
  • Maintains compatibility with both aftermarket and stock rims

Cons

  • Requires specific 8.5 mm rim hole size
  • Professional installation and truing highly recommended
  • Not compatible with rims using smaller or larger spoke holes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper installation, verify that your rim has 8.5 mm spoke holes. If you are reusing existing rims, inspect them for cracks around the nipple holes before proceeding. It is highly recommended to use a torque wrench to tighten the nipples to factory specifications to avoid over-tensioning. For care, use a non-abrasive metal cleaner during routine bike maintenance to keep the stainless steel in top condition. Always check spoke tension after the first ride following installation, as new spokes may 'settle' and require a minor adjustment to maintain perfect truing.
