2009 and up KLX250SF rear spoke diameter?
Surprise - after two months the previous owner of my 2007 250 D-Tracker showed up at my gate with the spokes he'd had taken off it when he converted to 18/21 wheels and tires
But alas I am missing one of the back spokes.. My access to parts for these bikes from here in the Philippines (I'm a US citizen) via US parts networks only begins with the 2009 KLX250SF.
So I am wondering if someone with a 2009 or newer 250 D-Tracker can measure their back spoke diameter(s)? The rear OE spokes he gave me appear to be a little over 3mm and right at .125 inch. But my super cheap vernier caliper may have some error built into it.
If you could measure your back spoke diameter, I would at least know if the spoke I can order is the correct diameter.

If anyone has a spare OE rear spoke for a 2007 250 DTracker let me know. It'd probably have to be someone in Asia though.
Or if a dealer in Asia can order it, that'd work as well.
I just bought a spoke at a parts dealer here in the Philippines, the package was marked 3mm but it's a little smaller OD, length and bend are in the wrong place, and the head size is smaller than the Kawasaki spoke
It'll be almost 3 months before my extra hubs get here, so there's plenty of time to look around.

On the US websites the '09 SF rear SF spokes are listed as apparently two different diameters
SPOKE-INNER,RR,LH,173.1MMX163D
SPOKE-INNER,RR,RH,168.1MMX153D
Which seems to read: 173.1 millimeter by (x) 163 Diameter? 163 being .163 inches?
Would they use a combination of metric and standard measurements to describe the spoke dimensions? Doesn't seem likely. Though my original rear spokes measure out to a little over 1/8 inch..
I need to measure the OE spoke with a better quality caliper
