·Running the engine with insufficient oil can
cause serious engine damage.
·Running the engine with excessive oil can
cause spark plug fouling & loss in

CAUTION
TYRES
The tyres that are fitted on your motorcycle
are designed to match the performance
capabilities of your motorcycle and provide
the best combination of handling, braking,
durability and comfort.
The imported tyre(s) if fitted without ISI mark;
are in compliance of BIS standard and Central
Motor Vehicle Rules 1989, as declared by the
Tyre manufacturer.
NOTE
To safely operate your motorcycle, the tyres
must be of recommended type and size, in
good condition with adequate tread, and
correctly inflated. The recommended tyres
size is :
Front
Rear
2.75x18-4PR/42P
2.75x18-6PR/48P
Air Pressure
Properly inflated tyres provide the best
combination of handling, tread life, and
riding comfort. Generally, under inflated
tyres wear unevenly, adversely affect
handling, and are more likely to fail from
being overheated. Under inflated tyres can
also cause wheel damage in rocky terrain.
Over inflated tyres make your motorcycle
ride more harshly, are more prone to
damage from surface hazards and wear
unevenly.
If necessary, install a new cap.
Make sure the valve stem caps are secure.
