(Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.) Warning Danger of crashing Different tire tread patterns on the front and rear wheel impair the handling charac- teristic.
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.)
The rigid rim design results in a 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. F01999-10 15.10...

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 16 Info Even when there is no load on the 12-V battery, it discharges steadily each day. The charging level and the method of charging are very important for the service life of the 12-V battery. Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the service life of the battery. If the charging current, charging voltage, or charging time is exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves.
