SAFE RIDING TIPS

Causes for poor braking:
1.
If the brake shoes or drum are worn out or if there is
water or oil on them, sufficient friction does not
develop and brakes do not work well.
2.
Even when the brake works normally, if the road
surface is wet or the tyre surface is worn-out, tyres do
not take a firm hold on the surface, prolonging the
stopping distance.
3.
Approximately 60% braking effect is from front brake.
Non-usage of front brake causes poor braking.

ACCESSORY INSTALLATION AND SAFETY TIPS
Use extreme caution while selecting and installing the
accessories for your TVS HLX PLUS.
The addition of unsuitable accessories can lead to unsafe
operating conditions. Your friendly dealer will assist you in
selecting quality accessories and installing them correctly.
While selecting the accessories, make sure the
accessories should not obstruct lighting, steerability and
suspension level.
Additional electrical equipments and controls should not
exceed the specified electrical system load of the vehicle.
EMISSION CONTROL
All the TVS motorcycles are tested in the factory for
optimum fuel efficiency and lowest possible CO levels.
Kindly do not disturb the Carburettor settings as this may
lead to higher fuel consumption and also higher CO levels.
If the vehicle needs any adjustments, please consult
nearest your TVS Motor Company Authorised Dealer or
Authorised Service Centre.
While adequate care is exercised at the factory to ensure
that the emissions are within the limits, it is essential for the
owner to always maintain TVS HLX PLUS motorcycle in
good condition by getting it periodically serviced and
checked by TVS Motor Company Authorised
Distributor or
Dealer / Authorised Service Centre so that the emission and
fuel consumption levels are maintained as per norms.
As the vehicle speed increases, the stopping distance also
increases progressively. Be sure that, you have sufficient
distance between you and the vehicle or obstruction ahead
of you.
Using only the front or rear brake is dangerous and can
cause skidding and loss of control. Apply both the brakes
together and with great care on a wet road or other slippery
surfaces. Any abrupt braking on slippery or irregular roads
can cause loss of rider control.
