The on-road mileage of TVS Radeon is dependent on
several factors like Road condition, Quality of fuel, Riding
speed, operation of Clutch and Brake, Tyre inflation,
Maintenance / timely servicing of vehicle, load etc.. and
hence will differ from the mileage given under standard
test conditions such as made in recognised institute like
ARAI.
Fuel leak
Check and arrest fuel leak if any, from tank, throttle
body and fuel lines. Loss of fuel due to leak may drain
the fuel tank completely.
Tyres
Low tyre pressure has adverse effect on the vehicle.
The drag on the vehicle increases resulting
decreased fuel economy. Further more, handling may
be adversely affected.
Inspect the tyre pressure regularly (weekly) and
inflate it to the recommended pressure (refer page
no. 44). Never use tyres which are worn beyond
the permissible limit.
Chain slackness
Check and ensure the drive chain slackness. Excess
slackness leads to higher fuel consumption (refer
page no. 45).
Wheel freeness
Inspect and ensure the wheel freeness by rotating
the wheels at least once in a week to avoid wastage
of fuel.
Fast starting from rest wastes fuel
A racing start from rest at full throttle can waste fuel
and damage the engine. It also creates a potentially
dangerous traffic situation.
Fast acceleration wastes fuel
Fuel is wasted whenever you suddenly accelerate or
apply brake.
Avoid unnecessary idling
While waiting for someone or stopping in signals for
long time, if the engine is kept running at idle speed,
it causes unnecessary wastage of fuel.
Avoid frequent braking
Anticipate corners and slopes as well as the traffic
conditions. Unnecessary and frequent braking will
reduce the fuel economy.
