• Always install recommended capacity of battery on the bike.
• Secure battery firmly in its box / cage.
• Always keep battery terminals clean & in firmly tightened condition
• Connect Red colour wire of the harness to the +ve terminal of the
battery & Black colour wire of the harness to -ve terminal of the
battery.
• Ensure presence of petroleum jelly to the battery terminals. Apply if
not.
• Always maintain electrolyte level above half of maximum & minimum
level marks & top-up with distilled water only.
• Keep the top cover of battery clean & tight
• Check battery charging current/ voltage periodically. Over charging /
under charging is harmful for battery Life.
• Re-charge battery by specified constant current (0.9 Ampere)
• Check specific gravity of each cell for understanding charge status of
the battery
• Ensure that rubber grommet provided on +ve & -ve terminals of
battery is intact.
• Ensure that vent mechanism of the battery is free from dirt / dust &
grime.
• Apply WD-40 Rust Spray to jammed battery terminals to remove rust.
• Always confirm the charge condition of battery using a Battery load
tester at PDI stage & before installing battery on vehicle booster
charge it.
• Do not install a lower / higher capacity battery than what is
recommended.
• Never add acid into the battery.
• Do not top-up battery with mineral water or tap water as the chlorine
& iron content in water will reduce battery life.
• Do not blow hammer on battery terminals & clamps.
• Do not apply grease on battery terminals / cable clamps.
• Do not over fill the battery.
• Do not keep your battery idle for more than three to four weeks.
• Never quick charge the battery with high current, as this will
seriously affect battery life.

IGNITION SYSTEM
• Always install recommended capacity of battery on the bike.
• Always replace spark plug by correct heat range plug.
• Check & adjust spark plug gap periodically. Adjust it to 0.6~0.8 mm
by feeler gauge / wire gauge.
• Replace spark plug at every 15,000 kms.
• Check for firm fitment of spark plug in cylinder head.
• Ensure H.T. cable secondary connection is firmly fitted in spark p l u g
cap and H.T. coil.
• Check that CDI coupler is tightly fitted.
• Check for proper functioning of TPS - Hall sensor.
• Always use a right size socket during removal and re-installation of
spark plug.
• Do not replace spark plug by non recommended one (different heat
range).
• Never short circuit H.T. coil primary wire to ground. It could lead to
CDI failure.
• Do not remove grease from CDI and magneto coupler as it is
provided for rust prevention.
• Do not adjust the spark plug gap with any instruments like screw
Driver, pliers etc.
• Do not drive the vehicle without battery. Driving motorcycle in battery
removed condition could cause damage to electrical components like
voltage regulator because of no load Condition.
