·Running the engine with insufficient oil can

cause serious engine damage.

·Running the engine with excessive oil can

cause spark plug fouling & loss in

performance.

·Engine oil is a major factor affecting the

performance and service life of the engine.

Non-detergent, vegetable or castor based

racing oils are not recommended.

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.
