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 Centre.
Engine cum transmission oil
Dirty or less engine cum transmission oil will increase
friction between various parts of the engine and reduce
engine life, thereby increase fuel consumption.
Regularly check the oil for contamination and level. It should
be between the minimum and maximum level on the
gauge. Get it replaced at regular intervals as per
maintenance schedule.
Replace the sparkplug every 12000 km for better
performance of the vehicle.
Never drive the vehicle with half clutch. This will reduce the
life of clutch and affect the performance of the vehicle and
fuel economy.
Fuel leak
Check and arrest fuel leaks if any from tank, carburettor and
fuel lines.
Tyres
Low tyre pressure has the same adverse effect on a vehicle
as of loading the vehicle heavily. The drag on the vehicle will
be increased resulting decreased fuel economy.
Further more, handling may be adversely affected. Check
the tyre pressure regularly and inflate it to the
recommended pressure. Never use tyres, which are worn
beyond the permissible limit.
Fast starting from rest wastes fuel
A racing start from rest at full throttle can waste fuel and
damage the engine. It also creates a potentially dangerous
traffic situation.
Fast acceleration wastes fuel
Fuel is wasted whenever you 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, frequent braking will reduce the
fuel economy.
