Paper and foam type air cleaner element is used in
your motorcycle. In case of any abnormalities (heavy
dust clogging, damage), replace the filters earlier
than the specified interval. Ensure to replace the
filters as set.
Clutch
Increase in engine rpm during acceleration, without
increase in road speed indicates the clutch slip. A
slipping clutch will cause high fuel consumption and
engine over heat.
If the condition persists even after adjusting the
clutch lever play, immediately have the clutch checked
by TVS Motor Company Authorised Main Dealer /
Authorised Dealer.
Engine cum transmission oil
Dirty or less engine cum transmission oil increases
the friction between various parts of the engine and
reduces the engine life, thereby increases the fuel
consumption.
Regularly inspect the engine cum transmission
oil for correct level and top-up if necessary.
Get it replaced at regular intervals as per the
maintenance schedule.
Fuel leak
Check and arrest fuel leak if any, from tank, throttle
body, injector 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 in
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. 87). 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. 90).
Never drive the vehicle with half clutch. This will reduce
the life of clutch and affects the performance of the
vehicle and fuel economy.
