New to a bike with spokes......help please?

#1 Unread post by Locopez »

I bought a tool to snug the spokes on my DR650se....I have read the service manual. It seems like there must be more to this? just snug them a few turn to the right? Alternate betweeen spokes....???? anyone have some helpful hints?

Thanks

These instructions are for bicycle wheels, but the principal is the same.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
