Replacing the battery of the digital speedometer

Remove the screw connection [A], insert the battery (type Duracell CR 2430)
with the writing facing up and reinstall the screw connection.
Checking spoke tension
The correct spoke tension is very important for the stability of the wheels and
thus for riding safety. A loose spoke causes the wheel to become
unbalanced and before long other spokes will have come loose. Check spoke
tension, especially on a new motorcycle, at regular intervals. For checking,
tap on each spoke with the blade of a screwdriver (see photo). A clear tone
must be the result. Dull tones are indicators of loose spokes. If necessary,
have the spokes retightened and the wheel centered by a KTM dealer.
Spokes can tear if you continue to ride with them loose. This may lead to
an unstable handling of your motorcycle.
Excessively tensioned spokes may rupture due to local overloading.The
spokes must be tensioned to 5 Nm.
