Replace the brake pads as a set, if the wear indicator
shows beyond the wear limit.
Caution
If the brake pads are used beyond this groove, leads to
metal support contact with the brake disc and affects
the braking efficiency, disc integrity and leads to unsafe
riding conditions to the rider.
- If the wear is found beyond the wear indicator
(A & B) groove as shown in the figure in any
one of the pad, replace brake pads as a set
with a new one (ref. Fig. 57 & 58).
Rims and Tubeless Tyres
Ensure the safety precautions listed in the page
160 are followed properly.
Rims
• Visually inspect the front and rear wheel rims for
any defects. If found any, have the rims inspected
at TVS Motor Company Authorised Main Dealer
and get it replaced if necessary.
Tyre pressure
Check the tyre pressures atleast once in a week if
not more frequently. Insufficient tyre pressure not
only fasten tyre wear, but also seriously affects the
stability of the vehicle and may lead to rim bend or
damage.
• Under-inflated tyres make smooth cornering
difficult and over-inflated tyres decreases the
contact with the ground which can lead to
skidding and loss of control.
• As the tyre pressure is affected by changes in the
temperature and altitude, check and adjust the
pressure more frequently whenever your vehicle
is used on such conditions.
• Be sure that the tyre pressures are within the
specified limit at all times.
