15.8 Checking spoke tension
Warning
Danger of accidentsIncorrectly tensioned spokes impair the handling characteristic and result in sec-
ondary damage.
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 KTM workshop will
be glad to help.)
400694-01
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.
