îMake sure that the accessory does not

obscure any lamps, reduce ground

clearance, limit suspension travel or

steering travel, affect your riding position or

interfere with operating any controls.

îBe sure electrical equipment does not exceed

the motorcycle's electrical system capacity

(page 3). A blown fuse can cause a loss of

lights.

îDo not pull a trailer or sidecar with your

motorcycle. This motorcycle was not

designed for these attachments, and their

use can seriously impair your motorcycle's

handling.

Modifying your motorcycle or using non-

Hero MotoCorp accessories can make your

motorcycle unsafe. Before you consider

making any modifications or adding an

accessory, be sure to read the following

information.

ACCESSORIES & MODIFICATIONS We strongly advise you not to remove any

original equipment or modify your

motorcycle in any way that would change its

design or operation. Such changes could

seriously impair your motorcycle's handling,

stability and braking, making it unsafe to

ride. Removing or modifying your lamps,

mufflers, emission control system or other

equipment can also make your motorcycle

illegal.

Modifications

îFollow all instructions in this owner's manual

regarding accessories and modifications.

îImproper accessories or modifications can

cause a crash in which you can be seriously

hurt or killed.

îRunning the engine with insufficient

oil can cause serious engine damage.

îEngine 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.

îRunning the engine with excessive oil can cause

spark plug fouling & loss in performance.

CAUTION

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.

TYRES

NOTE

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.

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

3.00x18-6PR/52P

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.

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.

Make sure the valve stem caps are secure. If

necessary, install a new cap.
