i take the bike to service to this guy and he only checked spokes when i first came there, and not anymore after that.....and I have been there like 5 times...
I did the sound test on rear wheel and most of the spokes sound bad......on front wheel each spoke sounds good.....
it is just weird that the spoke broke off after the service and the service guy rode it somewhere....to test it, and he said the front tire needs changing too.....so he might hit a pothole? or he hit it on purpose?

We have several experienced members in Europe. It may be worth creating a new topic to discuss euro-centric issues like part suppliers and repair shops.
Possibly find authorized retailers in your area for other types of parts and call them to see what else they have to offer. Ohlins, Vibratechnics, Motogadget, Avon, etc.
For spoke work, many in the US like to use shops that service off road bikes as our Harley dealership network is not well egarded in this particular area of expertise.

Yeah, that. One time you'll let the clutch out and the rim will go sideways, if you're lucky. Otherwise it happens in a corner...
