 Always maintain a safe distance between you and objects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extreme road conditions. The braking distance for motorcycle equipped with an anti-lock braking system may be longer than for those without it on rough road conditions. During these conditions the





 vehicle should be driven at reduced speeds.

When you apply Front brake under conditions which may lock the wheels, you feel a corresponding sensation (pulsation) in Front brake lever. This is normal and it means your ABS is active.

Also it is recommended to use both front & rear brakes simultaneously.

Always slow down when cornering. The anti-lock brake system cannot prevent accidents resulting from excessive speeds.

Caution : Do not operate the starter continuously for more than 5 seconds otherwise battery would get discharged.

Wait 15 sec. between each operation of the starter which will facilitate battery to recover.

Note : The motorcycle is equipped with a clutch switch. This switch ensures that the engine can be started in any gear if the clutch lever is pressed.

Moving Off :

• Check that Center/Side stand is up.

• Depress the clutch lever.

• Shift into 1 gear.

• Open the throttle and release the clutch lever slowly and simultaneously.

• As the clutch starts to engage, open the throttle a little more, giving the engine just enough rpm to keep it from stalling.

Warning : When shifting down to lower gear, do not shift at such high speed that engine RPM jumps excessively. This may cause engine damage, & rear wheel may skid. Downshifting should be done at recommended speeds as shown in table.

Braking :

• Close the throttle completely, leaving the clutch engaged (except where shifting gears) so that the engine braking will help slow down the motorcycle.

• Shift down one gear at a time so that you are in Neutral when you come to a complete stop.

• When stopping, always apply both brakes at the same time. De-clutch as necessary to avoid engine stalling.

• Never lock the brakes, or it will cause the tyres to skid. When cornering, use brakes judiciously & do not de-clutch. Reduce your speed before you get into the corner. For emergency braking, disregard downshifting, and concentrate on applying brakes as hard as possible without skidding.

How to Ride Your Bike

Stopping the Vehicle :

• Close the throttle completely.

• Shift the transmission into neutral.

• Bring the vehicle to complete stop.

• Turn the ignition switch off.

Parking the Vehicle :

Non-Use Maintenance

Non-use maintenance is necessary if a vehicle remains off road for a longer duration (more than 15 days**). The correct and careful nonuse maintenance carried out before storing the vehicle will prevent the vehicle from rusting and from such other non-operational damages like fire hazards.

• Clean the entire vehicle thoroughly.

• Empty the fuel from the fuel tank and carburettor float bowl (if fuel is left in for a longer time, the fuel will break and gummy substance could clog the carburettor).

• Remove spark plug & put several drops of engine oil into the cylinder. Kick engine over slowly a few times to coat cylinder wall with oil & install back spark plug.

• Set the vehicle on a box or a stand so that both wheels are raised off the ground.

• Spray oil on all unpainted metal surfaces to prevent rusting. Avoid getting oil on rubber parts or brake liners.

• Cover entire vehicle neatly. Make sure that storage area is well ventilated & free from any source of flames or spark.

• Fill 10% excess air pressure in both

31 wheels.

• Do not apply oil on front brake disc, to prevent rusting. If the front brake disc rusts during storage, do not attempt to clean it with soap water. The rust will go off automatically during first few application of brake.

** For Battery : a. Remove battery and keep it on wooden

plank, in properly ventilated area.

b. Before taking the vehicle for use.

• Get the battery recharged from the

Authorised Service Center / Battery Dealer.

• Apply petroleum jelly on battery terminals.

Preparation for regular use after storage :

• Follow daily safety checks.
