Checkin the rim run-out
Warning
Danger of accidents
The spokes break due to being overloaded if they are too tightly tensioned. If the tension in the spokes is too low, then lat­
eral 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.
Info
A loose spoke can unbalance the wheel and other spokes may loosen within 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.
