FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Use only BS VI petrol with minimum RON 91.
BS VI petrol containing upto 10% of ethanol by
volume can be used.
Higher ethanol content in petrol can
• degrade plastic and rubber components of
fuel system and vehicle parts
• cause corrosion damage to metal parts like
fuel tank, etc.
• result in startability & drivability issues
• decrease fuel economy
Ethanol absorbs water very easily, resulting fuel
separation. Extra care shall be taken to prevent
moisture entry into fuel tank while filling ethanol
blended petrol and water washing of vehicle.
Painted parts (viz. panels, covers) shall not come in
contact with ethanol blended fuels.
Manufacturer is not responsible for any warranty
issues that results from using ethanol blend in excess
of 10% by volume.
In case of any abnormalities observed due to use of
ethanol blended fuels, customers are advised to use
a different fuel station/brand for standard E10 fuel or
contact authorised service centres.
CHECKS AND TIPS FOR IMPROVING FUEL
ECONOMY
Regular checks
Carry out the periodic maintenance checks as
specified in this manual (refer page no. 37).
Regular maintenance checks will save fuel and
ensure trouble-free, enjoyable and safe riding besides
keeping environment clean.
Spark plug
A dirty or defective spark plug leads to wastage
of fuel due to incomplete combustion. Inspect the
spark plug. Clean and adjust the spark plug only if
necessary. If required replace the spark plug with a
new one.
However the spark plug need to be replaced every
12000 kms or 1 year whichever is earlier. Always use
recommended spark plug only.
Never mix oil in petrol in the fuel tank. Always fill fuel
from the reputed and reliable fuel stations.
Do not remove the spark plug when the engine is hot.
