Air cleaner element
A dirty air cleaner element restricts airflow and increases the
fuel consumption. Replace the element every 12000 kms.
Since paper filter is used in your motorcycle it is not
recommended to clean the filter. Replace the filter incase of
any abnormalities.
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
overheat.
If the condition persists even after adjusting the clutch lever
play, immediately have the clutch checked by TVS Motor
Company Authorised Distributor or Dealer / Authorised
Service Centers.
Engine cum transmission oil
Dirty or less engine cum transmission oil increases the
friction between various parts of 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, carburettor and
fuel lines. Loss of fuel due to leak may drain the fuel tank
completely.
Evaporation
Vehicle parked in the hot sun leads to wastage of fuel
through evaporation. Also, lower fuel levels in the tank will
have increased evaporation and condensation of moisture
inside, which may result in rusting of the tank.
Ensure to close fuel tank cap after every filling. If the fuel
tank cap kept open for long time, it leads to safety and fuel
loss.
Tyres
Low tyre pressure has adverse effects 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. 39). Never use
Never drive the vehicle with half clutch. This will reduce the life of
clutch and affects the performance of the vehicle and fuel economy.
