TIPS FOR IMPROVING FUEL ECONOMY

REGULAR CHECKS

Carry out the periodic maintenance checks as specified in
this manual. Regular maintenance checks will save fuel and
assure you of trouble-free, enjoyable and safe riding
besides keeping environment clean.

SPARK PLUG

A dirty or defective spark plug leads to wastage of fuel due to
incomplete combustion.
Caution
If the gap is more than 1.1 mm replace the spark plug.
Replace the Spark Plug every 12,000 kms / 5 service for
better performance of the vehicle
Warning
Don't adjust spark plug gap.

AIR CLEANER ELEMENT

A dirty air cleaner restricts airflow, increases fuel
consumption. Clean the air cleaner elements periodically.
Fuel leaks
Check for fuel leaks on a daily basis from tank, carburetor
and fuel lines if any. Loss of fuel due to leaks may drain the
fuel tank completely.
Evaporation
Vehicle parked in hot sun leads to wastage of fuel through
evaporation. Also partially filled tank will have increased
evaporation and condensation of moisture inside.
Tyres
Check Tyre pressure regularly and inflate to the
recommended pressure. Low or high inflation will have
adverse affect on vehicle performance.
th
Speed limits
Always maintain safe speed limits.
Note:
Switch OFF the engine at traffic signal to protect
environment and reduce fuel consumption.
