Ok so its the loose spoke problem again but is there any info on the percentage of loose spokes to bikes out there, i have one that tong's on the rear of my 2018 GSA 2000 miles that was pointed out to the dealer on first service and was told it was ok...its constantly rattling my mind and spoiling the whole BMW experience even tho the bike is amazing in every other way.
 
Mine is a 2018 model bought in Sept 2017 , I knew a couple of spokes weren't fully in tension ie they didn't ting but had a dull sound, three in the front wheel and the same in the rear wheel, while the bike was in for service they were sorted .
It extended the service from under 2 hours to 4 1/2, watched the mechanic sorting them out with a dial gauge and torque wrench ................... it took over an hour per wheel ......... and he reckons that once they have been sorted they don't give any more bother .
