13.8 Checking the spoke tension
Warning
Danger of accidents Incorrectly tensioned spokes impair the handling characteristic and result in secondary dam-
age.
The spokes break due to being overloaded if they are too tightly tensioned. If the tension in the spokes is too low,
then lateral and radial run-out will form in the wheel. Other spokes will become looser as a result.
–
Check spoke tension regularly, and in particular on a new vehicle. (Your authorized GASGAS Motorcycles work-
shop will be glad to help.)

–
Strike each spoke briefly using a screwdriver blade.
Info
The frequency of the sound depends on the spoke length
and spoke diameter.
If spokes of the same length and diameter vibrate with a
different tone, this is an indication that the spoke tensions
differ.
You should hear a high note.
» If the spoke tension differs:
–
Correct the spoke tension.
