If "Spark knock" or "pinking" occurs at a
steady engine speed under normal load,
change petrol brand. If the same still persists,
consult your Authorised Hero MotoCorp
workshop. Failure to do so is considered
misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not
covered under Hero MotoCorp warranty policy.

(b) Petrol containing alcohol
If you decide to use a petrol containing alcohol
(gasohol), be sure its octane rating is at least
as high as that recommended by Hero
MotoCorp.
There are two types of "gasohol", one
containing ethanol, and the other containing
methanol.
•
When certain type of petrol containing
alcohols are used, problems such as hard
starting, poor performance, etc. may occur.
•
If you notice any undesirable operating
symptoms while using the petrol that
contains alcohol, try another station or
switch to another brand of petrol.
Do not use petrol that contains more than
10% of ethanol.
Do not use petrol containing methanol
(methyl or wood alcohol) that does not
contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for
methanol.
Never use petrol containing more than 5%
methanol, even if it has cosolvents and
corrosion inhibitors.
•
When a problem resulting from the use of
petrol containing alcohol occurs, contact
your Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop.
CAUTION

ously when the fuel level indicator reaches the

reaches one segment blinking.
