RIDING YOUR TVS STRYKER 3V
Fuel leak
Check and arrest fuel leak if any from tank, carburettor
and fuel lines. Loss of fuel due to leak will drain the
fuel tank completely.
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
affected adversely.
Check the tyre pressure regularly (weekly) and inflate
them to the recommended pressure (refer page no.
50). Never use tyres which are worn out beyond the
permissible limit.
Chain slackness
Check and ensure drive chain slackness. Excess
slackness leads to higher fuel consumption (refer
page no. 51).
Wheels free movement
Check and ensure the free movement of wheels by
rotating the them 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 will waste fuel
and damage the engine. It also creates a potentially
dangerous traffic situation. Fuel is wasted whenever
the rider 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
reduces the fuel economy.
Please note that t he on-road mileage of TVS STRYKER
3V 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 institutes.
