îThe following tips shall ensure a healthy motorcycle, healthy environment, and a healthy you.
îHealthy engine: The engine is the lifeline of every vehicle. To keep it healthy, it should be
tuned regularly, which will also help reduce pollution and improve vehicle performance &
fuel efficiency.
îRegular Servicing: Get your motorcycle serviced at an Authorised Hero MotoCorp
workshop, as per the service schedule, for an optimum performance and keep the emission
level under check.
îGenuine Spares: Always insist on Hero MotoCorp genuine parts as spurious or
incompatible spares and accessories can upset or deteriorate your motorcycle’s running
condition.
îGenuine engine oil: Hero 4T Plus SAE 10W 30 SL grade (JASO MA2) engine oil
recommended by Hero MotoCorp and make sure you change it every 6000 kms.
(with top up every 3000 kilometres) to keep the engine fit and environment healthy.
îEmission Pollution: Get emission of your motorcycle checked by Authorised agencies
atleast once every 3 months or as notified by the government from time to time.
îNoise pollution: Noise beyond a certain decibel is pollution. Whether it is from horns or defective
mufflers, excessive noise will cause headaches and discomfort.
îFuel Saving & Reduce Pollution: Switch "OFF" the engine while waiting at traffic signal
points to save fuel and reduce pollution, if the waiting period is long.

The imported tyre(s) if fitted without ISI mark;
are in compliance of BIS standard and Central

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:
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.

îBumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or
the tread. Replace the tyre if you find any
bumps or bulges.
Inspection
Whenever you check the tyre pressure, you
should also examine tyre treads & side walls
for wear, damage & foreign objects.
