Checking the spoke tension
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 causes wheel imbalance and rapidly leads to more loose spokes.
If the spokes are too tight, they can break due to local overload.
Check the spoke tension regularly, especially on a new motorcycle.

–
Briefly strike each spoke with the tip of a screwdriver.
Info
The tone frequency depends on the length of the spoke and the spoke diam-
eter.
If you hear different tone frequencies from different spokes of equal length
and diameter, this is an indication of different spoke tensions.
You should hear a high note.
» If the spoke tension varies:
–
Correct the spoke tension.
