Checking the spoke tension (Option: Wire spoked wheels)

Warning
Danger of accidents Incorrectly tensioned spokes impair the handling characteristic and result in
secondary 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
Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop will be glad to help.)
–
Check the tire age.
Info
The tire date of manufacture is usually contained in
the tire label and is indicated by the last four digits
of the DOT number. The first two digits indicate the
week of manufacture and the last two digits the year
of manufacture.
Husqvarna Motorcycles recommends that the tires be
changed after five years at the latest, regardless of the
actual wear.
» If the tires are more than five years old:
–
Change the tires.
–
Remove the protection cap.
–
Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold.
