stupid, but easy question

[mattb348]

Just wondering if you can use a regular wrench to tighten spokes on a KX 250 & 500. Or do I have to have that stupid "spoke tool" thingy?

I have never tried tightening my spokes.

Yes you can - I believe they should all make a light metalic ping when you tap them with a wrench

Yes, that is IF you can find a wrench that fits the spoke good. If not, take the time to buy one. They don't cost much and its better then rounding off the head of a spoke or two. :yikes:

Get one, but be sure not to get the stupid version, go for the smart one.
