• Dirty or less engine cum transmission oil
increases the friction between various parts of
the engine and reduces engine life, and increases
the fuel economy.
- Inspect the engine cum transmission oil
level as explained in page 161 and top-up if
necessary.
- Engine cum transmission oil should be
replaced as per the maintenance schedule
without fail.
- Always use recommended engine oil only
(ref. page 206).
• Low tyre pressure has adverse effects on the
vehicle. The drag on the vehicle increases
resulting in decreased fuel economy. Further
more handling may be affected adversely.
- Check tyre pressure regularly and inflate
them to recommended pressure (ref. page
167).
- Never use tyre which are worn-out beyond
the permissible limit.
• Check and ensure the drive chain slackness.
Excess slackness lead to higher fuel consumption
(ref. page 171).
• Check and ensure the free movement of wheels
by rotating them to avoid wastage of fuel.
• A racing start from rest at full throttle will waste
fuel and damage the engine. It is also creates
potentially hazard traffic situation.
• Fuel is wasted whenever the rider suddenly
accelerate or apply brake.
• While waiting for someone or stopping in signals
for long time, if the engine is kept running at idle
speed, leads to unnecessary wastage of fuel.
• Anticipate corners and slopes as well as the
traffic conditions. Unnecessary and frequent
braking reduces the fuel economy.
