Manual Choke

Referance Image.

15

Warning : During kick starting if rider footrest is not folded, kick lever hits the footrest and severe jerk would get experienced at foot. Also rider step holder would get damaged due to impact.

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 : Do not let the engine idle longer than 3 minuets otherwise it will overheat.

Note : The motorcycle is equipped with a clutch switch.

The engine can be started by self starter in any gear if the clutch lever is pressed.

How to Ride Your Bike

Note : Before starting the engine, in ignition key off condition, press the clutch lever & operate kick starter lever all the way down for 5-6 times. Then release the clutch lever.

This practice ensures lubrication of clutch components for their longer life.

Moving Off :

• Check that Center/Side stand is up.

• Depress the clutch lever.

• 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.

Shifting Gears :

• Close throttle & depress the clutch.

• Shift into next higher or lower gear.

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

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.

How to Ride Your Bike

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.

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 :

• Support the motorcycle on a firm level surface with the center or side stand.

• Lock the steering.

CAUTION : Do not park on a soft or steeply inclined surface or the motorcycle may fall over.

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

32 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 terminals.

(applicable to certain models).

Preparation for regular use after storage :

• Clean the vehicle

• Make sure the spark plug is tight.

• Fill the fuel tank with fuel.

• Change the engine oil.

• Check all the points listed in the Daily

Safety Checks section.

• Check and inflate tyres to proper tyre pressure.
