Warning
Danger of accidents
Instable handling due to incorrect spoke tension.
–
Ensure that the spoke tension is correct. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.)
Info
A loose spoke can easily cause lateral or radial runout on the wheel. More spokes loosen in a short period.
If the spokes are too tight, they can break due to local overload.
Check the spoke tension regularly, especially on a new motorcycle.
