–
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.
This vehicle uses a tubeless tire system in which a rim seal

band
is used instead of the conventional tube.
The advantages of the tubeless system lie in the absence of dan-
ger from a faulty tube. This greatly reduces the risk of a sudden
loss in pressure.
The moments of inertia of these wheels are smaller than in con-
ventional spoked wheels with a tube. This results in better han-
dling and riding comfort.
The rigid rim design results in a wire spoke wheel that is almost
entirely maintenance-free.
KTM recommends that the rim seal band be changed after 5 years
at the latest, regardless of the actual state of wear.
Warning
Danger of accidents Incorrect use of tire repair spray will
result in the repaired tire losing pressure.
Tire repair spray cannot be used for all types of damage.
–
Observe the instructions and specifications of the
manufacturer of the tire repair spray.
–
After repairing a tire with tire repair spray, ride slowly
and carefully.
–
Ride no further than to the nearest workshop and have
the tire changed.
Tire repair spray should only be used in an emergency.
We recommend transporting the broken down vehicle to the near-
est workshop instead of using tire repair spray.
