Checking the spoke tension
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.)
–
Remove the protection cap.
–
Check tire pressure when the tires are cold.

–
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.
