New motorcycle spoke wrench set includes adjustable torque wrench

Motorcyclists with traditional spoke wheels will be interested in this motorcycle spoke wrench set from Laser Tools (part number 8241), which includes a range of spoke wrench heads plus an adjustable torque wrench allowing wheel spokes to be replaced in accordance with the wheel manufacturer’s specifications and instructions. Over or under-tightening of spokes can easily lead to excessive radial and lateral runout — always check radial and lateral runout when replacing spokes and set the torque to the manufacturer’s specification.

Eight sizes of spoke wrench head are included (5.6mm – 7.1mm) plus a spline wrench head (anti-theft — also fits some BMW models). The torque wrench is used to tighten the wheel spokes to the correct torque figure and features two torque scales: Nm (newton-metres) and Lb.in (pound-inch). A solid wrench is also included for undoing spokes and initial fitting up. All packed in a blow mould storage case with an EVA foam insert.

Applications include BMW, KTM (6.9mm), Ducati and Excel Rims (6.1, 6.3, 6.5 & 6.7mm, plus spline). The set can be used in conjunction with the Laser Tools Motorcycle Wheel Balancer and Alignment Stand (part number 8236).

The 8241 Motorcycle Spoke Wrench with Torque wrench is available now for purchase from your Laser Tools stockist and online retailers.
