Air cleaner element
A dirty air cleaner element restricts airflow and
increases fuel consumption. Replace the element
every 12000 kms.
Since paper filter is used in your motorcycle it is not
advised to clean the filter. In case of any abnormalities
(heavy dust clogging, damage) replace it earlier than
the 12000 km.
Clutch
Increase in engine rpm during acceleration and
constant speed running, without increase in vehicle
speed indicates clutch slip. The clutch slip will
cause high fuel consumption, poor acceleration and
overheating of engine.
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 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
Always use TVS TRU4 PREMIUM oil (SAE 10W30
API-SL, JASO MA2).
Fuel leak
If any fuel leak from tank is suspected, tow the vehicle
to the nearest TVS Motor Company Authorised Main
Dealer / Authorised Dealer.
Never drive the vehicle with the clutch lever pressed.
This will reduce the life of clutch and affect the vehicle
performance and fuel economy.
Do not attempt to do any rectification, as fuel lines are
normally pressurized upto 3.5 bar and any activity by any
untrained personnel, may lead to unsafe condition.
