Checking spoke tension
Warning
Danger of accidents
Instable handling due to incorrect spoke tension.
–
Ensure that the spoke tension is correct.
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.

–
Tap each spoke with a screwdriver.
Info
The sound frequency depends on the length and thickness of the spoke.
If there are different sound frequencies in spokes with the same length and
thickness, this indicates different spoke tensions.
You should hear a high note.
» If the spoke tension varies:
–
Correct the spoke tension.
–
Check the spoke torque.
