Clutch
Increase in engine rpm during acceleration, without
increase in road speed indicates the clutch slip. A
slipping clutch will cause high fuel consumption and
engine over heat.
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 Centers.
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.
CHECKS AND TIPS FOR IMPROVING FUEL
ECONOMY
Regular checks
Carry out the periodic maintenance checks as
specified in this manual (page no. 32 and 33).
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. Clean and adjust
the spark plug gap only if necessary. Replace the
spark plug every 12000 kms (1 year). Always use
recommended spark plug only.
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
recommended to clean the filter. Replace the filter
incase of any abnormalities.
Never drive the vehicle with half clutch. This will reduce the
life of clutch and affects the performance of the vehicle and
fuel economy.
