SAFE OPERATING RULES

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. Any fuel leak, spillage, or negligence of adhere to safety norms may lead to a fire hazard or explosion, which could cause damage to property, injury to persons or loss of life. When refueling your motorcycle, please exercise utmost caution and carefully observe the following rules:

 Turn the ignition switch to the ‘OFF’ position

 Open the fuel filler cap slowly. This will help to release any pressure that may have built up in the fuel tank.

DO NOT smoke and please ensure that there are no open flames or sparks near the motorcycle, when refueling OR servicing the fuel system.

 Refuel in a well ventilated area.

DO NOT use a mobile telephone. Switch OFF mobile telephones and any other electrical and electronic devices including any appliances with a pilot light.

DO NOT fill the fuel tank to its brim. Please fill fuel only till the bottom of the filler neck insert so as to leave air space for fuel expansion, inside the fuel tank. Overfilling the tank can lead to fuel spillage.

12

 Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dusty conditions where airborne material can contaminate the fuel.

Contaminated fuel may cause damage to fuel system components.

 After refueling, please ensure the fuel filler cap is closed firmly and correctly.

WARNING

Fuel spilled on the floor or on motorcycle tires will reduce the tire’s ability to grip the road.

This can result in dangerous riding condition, potentially causing loss of control and could result in an accident If fuel is spilled, thoroughly clean up the spillage immediately. Take care not to spill any fuel on the engine, exhaust pipes, rubber parts or any other part of the motorcycle.

Do not store motorcycle with gasoline in the tank, within your home or garage where open flames, pilot lights, spark or any appliance with a pilot light, electric motors are present. Inadequate safety precautions could cause an explosion or fire and could result in damage to property, serious injury or loss of life.

SAFE OPERATING RULES

Tires & Suspension

Please inspect and ensure tires are seated evenly & properly in the rims. Maintain the recommended tire pressures as it is very important for riding stability. Pay strict attention to loose and / or broken spokes Ensure the front and rear wheels are correctly aligned. Check spokes for correct tightness in the rims and free movement of steering system.

Inspect the tires thread condition periodically and replace worn out tires with approved make only. Failure to do so can lead to improper balance, poor stability, poor handling, and abnormal tread wear.

Please replace tires which are punctured or damaged.

Small punctures in the tread area may be repaired from within the tire. The motorcycle should not be driven over

40 MPH (60 Kmph) for the first 24 hours and over 55

MPH (90 Kmph) thereafter with a repaired tire.

WARNING

In emergency situations, please ride slowly with least possible load until the tire is permanently repaired or replaced. Failure to heed to this warning could result in serious injury or loss of life.

13

Regularly inspect front forks, rear shock absorbers and rear suspensions for any wear, looseness / side play, oil leaks etc. Replace worn parts. Worn parts can adversely affect stability and handling.

WARNING

DO NOT operate motorcycle with a loose, worn or damaged steering system, including the front and rear suspension system. Contact your dealer for repair of steering or suspension system. Damaged steering or suspension components may adversely affect handling which could result in serious injury or loss of life.

Running in

A new motorcycle must be operated according to the special break-in-procedure. (See BREAK-IN-THE FIRST

300 Miles (500 Kms) section.) Operate motorcycle only at moderate speeds and out of traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with its operation and handling characteristics under all condition

DO NOT exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce speed when poor driving conditions exist. High speed increases the influence of any other condition affecting stability and increases the possibility of loss of control.

SAFE OPERATING RULES

NOTE

If you are an inexperienced rider we recommend that you obtain formal training on correct motorcycle riding techniques and become thoroughly familiar with the operation of your particular motorcycle. New riders should gain experience under various conditions while driving at moderate speeds.

WARNING

SIDE VIEW MIRRORS

40

Your motorcycle is equipped with convex mirrors and has a curved surface. This type of mirror is designed to give a wider rear view than a flat mirror; however the objects seen in this type of mirror will look smaller and farther away than when seen in a flat mirror. Use care when judging the size or distance of objects seen in these mirrors.

NOTE:

To help you establish the relative distance of vehicles behind your motorcycle, adjust each mirror in such a way, that a small portion of your shoulder is visible and a large portion behind your motorcycle is seen clearly.

WARNING

Objects in mirrors are closer than they appear. Always use caution when judging distances of objects in mirrors. Failure to judge correctly when seeing the objects on mirrors could cause an accident resulting in serious injury or loss of life.

PRE OPERATIONAL CHECKS

It is a good practice to check the following before using the motorcycle every time or once in a week

CHECK FOR:

1. Adequate fuel in the tank.

2. Operation and free play of front and rear brakes.

3. Free play and smoothness of all operating cables.

4. Free and smooth movement of the steering.

5. Battery electrolyte level.

6. Correct tire pressures and any cuts, cracks or sharp objects embedded in the tire.

7. Oil level: Top up if necessary. Do not overfill.

8. Operation of all electrical systems.

41

CAUTION

Failure to adhere to pre operational checks may cause the motorcycle to stall when riding and lead to a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in an accident and could cause minor or moderate injury.

RUNNING IN

42

Proper running-in is very important for obtaining maximum life and performance of a new motorcycle. The following guidelines explain proper running-in procedures.

Since the engine is brand new, it should not be loaded excessively for the first 1,000 Kms. (600 Miles). During the first few hundred kilometers, the various parts in the engine wear and polish themselves to the correct operating clearances. Driving with prolonged full throttle operation, or any high speed conditions might result in excessive heating of the engine and cause abnormal wear of the moving parts and hence must be avoided.

1. 0 - 300Miles (0- 500 Kms):

The recommended speed for the first 300 Miles (500 Kms) is 35 - 40 MPH (50 - 60 Kmph). During this period avoid riding the motorcycle with full throttle opening. Stop the motorcycle for about 5 to 10 minutes to let it cool down, after every hour of running. Vary the speed of the motorcycle regularly during running but avoid using the motorcycle above 1/2 throttle opening position.

Caution

After covering the first 300 Miles.(500 kms), please replace the engine oil and filter.

RUNNING IN

43

2. 300 - 600 Miles (500 - 1000 Kms.):

The recommended speeds are 45 - 50 MPH (80 - 90 Kmph). Avoid riding the motorcycle with full throttle opening. Vary the speed of the motorcycle regularly but avoid using the motorcycle above 3/4 throttle opening position.

3. 600 Miles (1,000 kms) and beyond

Avoid prolonged full-throttle operation. Vary speed occasionally.

Caution

Royal Enfield engines are air-cooled and consequently require forced air cooling of the cylinder head and barrel to maintain proper operating temperature. Extended periods of idling may over heat the engine, resulting in serious engine damage.

DO NOT run the engine at extremely high RPM with clutch disengaged or transmission in neutral as it can cause serious engine damage.

An engine running long distances at high speed must be given close attention to avoid over heating and possible engine damage.

The chain link lock should be fitted such that the closed end of the chain lock is towards the normal direction of chain rotation

WARNING

Brake shoes must be inspected for wear every

2500 miles (4000 Kms). If you ride under adverse conditions, (steep hills, heavy traffic, etc.) a more frequent inspection at 1000 miles (1600 Kms) or less, is required.

WARNING

Fitting the chain lock in the wrong direction can lead to it falling off while riding and the chain can disengage from the sprockets. This will lead to a potentially hazardous situation which can result in an accident causing serious injury or loss

of life.

MINOR MAINTENANCE TIPS

REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS

73

WARNING

Regularly inspect shock absorbers and front forks for leaks. Replace if leaking or defective as they can adversely affect the stability and riding of the motorcycle.

Riding the motorcycle with the notches adjusted in different positions can cause loss of control and may result in an accident causing serious injury

or loss of life.

The rear shock absorbers have a five step adjuster to increase or decrease the spring tension.

Increase the spring tension for high load operation and reduce the spring tension for low load operation.

Turn the adjuster clockwise to increase the spring tension and vice versa to reduce the spring tension.

Please ensure the spring tension is adjusted evenly on both shock absorbers.

NOTE

Ensure no fouling of any accessories with rear shock absorber. Check for sufficient gap between the shock absorber and any accessories/cargo when the rear end of the motorcycle is fully loaded and the shock absorbers are fully compressed.
