 Spark Plug
Recommended Spark Plug Champion RG4HC / Bosch UR3DC
Electrode Gap 0.7 ~ 0.8 mm
Replace Spark Plug After every 10000 Kms.
 Battery - 12V - 9 Ah
• Battery is located inside LH cover
• Check the electrolyte level in each cell and ensure that the level is 
between the upper and lower level lines.
• Remove the battery filler caps and fill with distilled water until the 
electrolyte level in each cell  reaches the upper level line if 
required.
• Apply petroleum jelly on to the terminals
 Front Brake Fluid Level
• Front brake fluid master cylinder reservior is located near RH 
switch on handle bar.
• To check oil level, park the vehicle on Main / Center stand with 
handle bar in straight position.
• Always ensure that brake fluid level is above ‘MIN’ mark given on 
inspection window.
• Use only DOT-3 or DOT-4 brake fluid (from sealed container) to 
top up if required. 
Note : Add only distilled water to the battery. Tap water is not a 
substitute for distilled water and will shorten the life of the 
battery.
 Rear Shock Absorber
The rear shock absorbers can be adjusted to one of five positions to 
suit riding conditions. Using special tool adjust the required position 
you desire. They can be left soft for average road riding condition 
but should be adjusted harder for rough road condition.
Shock Absorbers adjusted either too soft or too hard adversely affect 
riding comfort and stability.
To adjust the Rear Shock Absorbers
Turn the adjusting sleeve on each shock absorber to the desired 
position. The higher the adjuster sleeve is positioned, the stronger 
the spring tension, and the harder the ride.
Check to see that both sleeves are turned to the same relative 
position.

 Nitrox Air Filling
Procedure for gas checking and Refilling
• Remove the Phillips-headed small screw and ‘O’ ring.
• Clamp the cylindrical guide clamp on to the canister keeping the 
rubber plug in the center to support the syringe needle insertion 
and keeping in position.
• Hold the pump as shown and pierce the syringe needle into the 
center of rubber plug.
• The molded needle adaptor will rest into the clamped cylindrical 
guide
• Read the gas pressure on the dial gauge. If the gas pressure is 
below 6.5 Kg/cm2 refill the air by pumping, keeping the needle in 
as it is condition without removal. As the natural air consists of 
71% of nitrogen it will serve the purpose.
• To fill the air into the canister, apply full stroke of pump as 
shown; otherwise air will not get inflated into the pump.
• Keep on pumping the air unless you get 7.5 kg/cm2 on the gauge
• Pull out the air pump along with needle carefully and take out the 
guide clamp
• Finally fix the phillips headed screw with ‘O’ ring.
 Drive Chain Slack / Lubrication
• Set the motorcycle upon its center stand.
• Rotate the rear wheel to find the position where the chain is 
tightest & measure the vertical movement midway between the 
sprockets.
• If the drive chain is too tight or too loose, adjust it so that the 
chain slack will be within the standard value.
• Check drive chain slackness at every 1000 kms.
Drive Chain Slackness : 25 ~ 30 mm
Service Limit 35 ~ 45 mm
If the Shock Absorber sleeves on both sides are not adjusted 
to the same position, an unsafe riding condition may result.
