Warning
Danger of accidents
Unstable riding behavior due to loose spokes.

If you ride with loose spokes, the spokes can break. Have the spoke tension corrected in an authorized KTM workshop.
Info
A loose spoke can cause wheel imbalance, which leads to more loose spokes in a short time.
If the spokes are too tight, they can break due to local overload.
Check the spoke tension regularly, especially on a new motorcycle.
