Air cleaner element
A dirty air cleaner element restricts airflow and
increases fuel consumption. Replace the element
every 12000 kms.
Since paper filter is used in your motorcycle, it is not
advised to clean the filter. Replace the filter in case of
any abnormalities.
Clutch
Increase in engine speed during acceleration and
constant speed running, without increase in vehicle
speed indicates clutch slip. The clutch slip will
cause high fuel consumption, poor acceleration and
overheating of engine.
If the condition persists even after adjusting the
clutch lever play, immediately have the clutch checked
by TVS Motor Company Authorised Main Dealer /
Authorised Dealer.
Caution
Never drive the vehicle with the clutch lever pressed.
This will reduce the life of clutch and affect the vehicle
performance and fuel economy.
Engine cum transmission oil
Dirty or less engine cum transmission oil increases
the friction between various parts of the engine
and reduces the engine life, thereby increases fuel
consumption.
Regularly inspect the engine cum transmission oil for
correct level and top-up if necessary. Get it replaced
at regular intervals as per the maintenance schedule.
Always use TVS TRU4 FULLY SYNTHETIC oil only
(SAE 10W 30 API-SL, JASO MA2).
Fuel leak
Check and arrest fuel leak if any from tank, carburettor
and fuel lines. Loss of fuel due to leak will drain the
fuel tank completely.
Tyres
Low tyre pressure has adverse effects on the
vehicle. The drag on the vehicle increases resulting
decreased fuel economy. Further more, handling may
be affected adversely.
Check the tyre pressure regularly (weekly) and inflate
them to the recommended pressure (refer page No.
75). Never use tyres which are worn out beyond
the permissible limit.
