in the close position.
6. During night time, dip headlamp of your
motorcycle for oncoming traffic, or
when following another vehicle.
7. Give way to others on the road and signal before you make a turn.
8. To make yourself more visible, wear
bright reflective clothing that fits well.
9. Take care of loose / hanging clothes
while solo / pillion riding.
10. Get your motorcycle serviced regularly
by the Authorised Distributor/Dealer.

Dont:
1. Never use cell phone while riding the
motorcycle.
2. Avoid sudden acceleration, braking and
turning of your motorcycle.
3. Never shift gears without disengaging
the clutch and closing the throttle.
4. Never touch any part of the hot exhaust
system like silencer.
5. Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
6. Concentrate on the road and avoid
talking to the pillion rider or others on
the road.
7. Do not litter the road.
8. Do not cross the continuous
white/yellow line in the centre of the
road, while overtaking.
9. Do not attach large or heavy items to the
handlebars, front forks, or fenders.
10. Never take your hands off the steering

SOME TIPS FOR HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT

The following tips shall ensure a healthy motorcycle, healthy environment, and a healthy you.
1.
Healthy 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.
2.
Regular Servicing: Get your motorcycle serviced at an Authorised Distributor/Dealer
as per the service schedule, for an optimum performance and keep the emission level
under check.
3
Genuine Spares: Always insist on Hero MotoCorp genuine parts as spurious or
incompatible spares and accessories can upset or deteriorate your motorcycles
running condition.
4.
Genuine Engine Oil: Use 4T Plus SAE 10W 30 SJ grade (JASO MA) 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.
5.
Noise Pollution: Noise beyond a certain decibel is pollution. Whether it is from horns
or defective silencers, excessive noise will cause headaches and discomfort.
6.
Fuel 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.

(1) Drain plug (2) Washer

CAUTION
Running the engine with insufficient oil
can cause serious engine damage.
Running the engine with excessive oil
can cause spark plug fouling & loss in
performance.
Engine 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.

TYRES
The tyres fitted on your motorcycles are of
TUBELESS type.
To safely operate your motorcycle, your
tyres must be of the proper type and size, in
good condition with adequate tread, and
correctly inflated for the load you are
carrying. The following pages give more
detailed information on how and when to
check the air pressure, how to inspect your
tyres for damage, and what to do when your
tyres need to be repaired or replaced.
/!\ WARNING
Using tyres that are excessively worn or
improperly inflated can cause a crash in
which you can be seriously hurt or
killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner's
manual regarding tyres inflation and
maintenance.
Air Pressure
Keeping your tyres properly inflated
provides 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.

Over-inflated tyres make your motorcycle

ride harshly, are more prone to damage
from road hazards, and wear unevenly.
We recommend that you visually check
your tyres before every ride and use a gauge
to measure air pressure at least once a
month or any time you think the tyres might
be low.
Tubeless tyres have some self-sealing
ability if they are punctured. However,
because leakage is often very slow, you
should look closely for punctures whenever
a tyre is not fully inflated.
Always check air pressure when your tyres
are "cold" - when the motorcycle has been
parked for at least three hours. If you check
air pressure when your tyres are "warm" when the motorcycle has been ridden for
even a few kms - the readings will be
higher than if the tyres were "cold". This is
normal, so do not let air out of the tyres to
match the recommended cold air pressures
given below. If you do, the tyres will be
under-inflated.

The recommended cold tyre pressures

are:
Rider only
Rider and
Pillion
Front
2.00 kg/cm2 2.00 kg/cm2
(29 psi)
(29 psi)
Rear
2.00 kg/cm2 2.25 kg/cm2
(29 psi)
(33 psi)

(1) Air Pressure Gauge

CAUTION
Over inflation / Under inflation will affect
the performance.
Inspection
Whenever you check the tyre pressure, you
should also examine tyre treads & side
walls for wear, damage & foreign objects:

Look for :
Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre
or the tread. Replace the tyre if you find
any bumps or bulges.
Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre.
Replace the tyre if you can see fabric or
cord.
Excessive tread wear.
Carefully inspect the tyres for any
damage, if the motorcycle hits a pothole
or hard object.
Tread Wear
Replace tyres immediately when the wear
indicator (1) appears on the tyre. The tread
limits are :
Minimum tread depth Front: 1.5 mm
Rear: 2.0 mm
Check the tread wear indicator for tyre wear

(1) Tyre wear indicator (2) Arrow mark

Unidirectional Tyres
Whenever the tyre is removed and put back
in case of puncture, ensure the arrow mark
on the tyre is in the same direction as that of
forward rotation of wheel.
Tyre Repair
If a tyre is punctured or damaged, you
should replace it, not repair it. As
mentioned below, a tyre that is repaired
either temporarily or permanently, will have
lower speed and performance limits than a
new tyre.
A temporarily repaired, such as an external
tubeless tyre plug, may not be safe for
normal speeds and riding conditions. If a
temporary or emergency repair is made to a
tyre, you should ride slowly cautiously to
your Authorised Distributor/Dealer and
have the tyre replaced. If possible you
should not carry a pillion or load until a
new tyre is installed.

Even if a tyre is professionally repaired

with a permanent internal patch plug, it will
not be as good as a new tyre.
You should not exceed 70 km / hour for the
1st 24 hours or 105 km / hour at any time
thereafter. In addition you may not be able
to safely carry as much load as with a new
tyre. Therefore, we strongly recommend
that you replace a damaged tyre. If you
decide to have a tyre replace be sure the
wheel is balanced before you ride.

Tyre Replacement
The tyres that were installed on your
motorcycle were designed to match the
performance
capabilities
of
your
motorcycle and provide the best
combination
of
handling,
braking,
durability and comfort.
/!\ WARNING
Using tyres that are excessively worn or
improperly inflated can cause a crash in
which you can be seriously hurt and
killed.
Operation with excessively worn tyres
is hazardous and will adversely affect
traction and handling.
Follow all instruction in this owners
manual regarding tyre inflation and
maintenance.
Under-inflation may result in the tyre
slipping on or tyre coming off the rim.

The recommended tyre for your motorcycle

are :
Front: 80 / 100 X 18 - 47 P Tubeless (MRF)
Rear: 100 / 90 X 18 - 56 P Tubeless (MRF)
NOTE :
For repair and replacement of tyre it is
advised to visit your Authorised
Distributor/Dealer.
Important Safety Reminders
Do not install a tube inside a tubeless
tyre on this motorcycle. Excessive heat
buildup can cause the tube to burst.
Use only tubeless tyres on this
motorcycle. The rims are designed for
tubeless tyres, and during hard
acceleration or braking, a tube-type tyre
could slip on the rim and cause the tyre
to rapidly deflate.

PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
You should conduct pre-ride inspection
before riding the motorcycle to enhance
riding comfort and safety.
Clean your motorcycle regularly. It protects
the surface finish. Avoid cleaning with
products that are not specifically designed
for motorcycle surface.
Inspect your motorcycle every day before
you start the engine. The items listed here
will only take few minutes, and in the long
run they can save time, expense, and
possibly your life. Please follow the tips as
given below:
1. Engine Oil Level: check and top up
engine oil if required (page 20).Check
for leaks.
2. Fuel Level: ensure sufficient fuel is
available in the fuel tank for your
journey (page 17). Check for leaks.
3. Front Brake: check for correct brake
fluid level in master cylinder (page 45).
4. Rear Brake (Disc type): check for
correct brake fluid level in the reservoir
(page 48-49).
5. Tyres: check condition and pressure
(page 22-25)

6. Clutch: check for smooth operation.

Adjust free play (page 41-42).
7. Drive Chain: check condition and
slackness (page 42-45). Lubricate if
necessary.

fuel. To clear a flooded engine, turn the
ignition switch OFF and move choke
lever fully upwards to OFF position.
Open the throttle fully and crank the engine
with the kick starter. Turn the ignition
switch ON and start engine with the
choke lever in "OFF" position.
Running In
Help assure your motorcycle's future
reliability and performance by paying extra
attention to how you ride during the first
500 kms.
During this period, avoid full-throttle starts
and rapid acceleration
RIDING
1. After the engine has been warmed up,
the motorcycle is ready for riding.
2. While the engine is idling, press the
clutch lever and depress the gearshift
pedal downwards using the toe to shift
into 1st gear.

3. Slowly release the clutch lever and at

the same time, gradually increase engine
speed by opening the throttle.
Coordination of the throttle and clutch
lever will assure a smooth positive start.
4. When the motorcycle attains a moderate
speed, close the throttle, press the clutch
lever and shift to 2nd gear by placing
the toe on the underside of gear pedal
and lift upwards.
5. This sequence is repeated progressively
to shift to 3rd, 4th and 5th gear.

CAUTION
Do not shift gears without operating clutch
and without closing the throttle otherwise
this would lead to damage of gears.

BRAKING
1. For normal braking, close the throttle
and gradually apply both front and rear
brakes together while shifting down
gears to suit your road speed.
2. For maximum deceleration / quick
stopping, close the throttle and apply the
front and rear brakes simultaneously.
/!\ WARNING
Independent use of only the front brake
rear brake increases stopping distance.
Extreme braking may cause wheel
locking and reduce control over the
motorcycle.
Wherever possible, reduce speed or
apply brake before entering turn; closing
the throttle or braking in mid-turn may
cause wheel slip. Wheel slip will reduce
control over the motorcycle.
When riding in wet or rainy conditions,
or on loose surfaces, the ability to
manoeuvre and stop the motorcycle
reduces.
All of your actions should be smooth
under
these
conditions.
Sudden
acceleration, braking or turning may
cause loss of control. For your safety,
exercise extreme caution when braking,
accelerating or turning.

When descending a long steep slope use

engine braking (power) by changing to
lower gears, with intermittent use of
both
brakes.
Continuous
brake
application can overheat the brakes and
reduce their effectiveness.
PARKING
After stopping the motorcycle, shift the
transmission into neutral, turn the fuel valve
OFF, turn the ignition switch OFF,
park the motorcycle on main stand, lock the
steering and remove the key and slide the
shutter to "SHUT" position.

Grip,
Box Wrench P16 x 14,
Pin Spanner,
No. 3 Cross Point Screw Driver.

SAFETY PRECAUTION
Make sure the engine is "OFF" before
you begin any maintenance or repairs.
This will help to eliminate several
potential hazards:
* Carbon monoxide poisoning from
engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation
whenever you operate the engine.
* Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system
cool before touching.
* Injury from moving parts.
Do not run the engine unless
instructed to do so.
Read the instruction before you begin,
and make sure you have the tools and
skills required.
To help prevent the motorcycle from
falling over, park it on a firm, level
surface on the main stand.

To reduce the possibility of a fire or

explosion, be careful when working
around petrol or batteries. Use only
nonflammable solvent, not petrol, to
clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks and
flames away from the battery and all
fuel-related parts.

position the piston will either be on the
compression or exhaust stroke.

The adjustment must be made when the

piston is at Top Dead Center and both
the inlet and exhaust valves are closed.
This condition can be determined by
moving the rocker arms. If they are
free, it is an indication that the valves
are closed and the piston is in
compression stroke.
If they are tight the valves are open,
rotate the flywheel 360O anticlockwise
and re-align the 'T' mark with the index
mark.

4. Dry the motorcycle by wiping with dry
soft cloth.
NOTE
We at Authorised Distributor/Dealer
take all above mentioned precautions
like recommended detergents and usage
of muffler caps during wash to ensure
quality wash.
Do not put water inside the muffler
during washing. It is advisable to put a
cover over the Exhaust pipe to avoid
water entering the muffler.

Do not use high pressure water (or air).

It can damage certain parts of the
motorcycle.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
This motorcycle is equipped with a
catalytic converter in the silencer (muffler)
to meet the emission norms.
The catalytic converter contains noble
metals that serve as catalyst, promoting
chemical reactions to convert CO and HC
in the exhaust to CO2 and H2O (water
vapour).
A defective catalytic converter contributes
to air pollution and can impair your
engine's performance.
Follow these guidelines to protect your
motorcycle's catalytic converter.
Always use unleaded petrol. Even a
small amount of leaded petrol can
contaminate the catalyst metals, making
the catalytic converter ineffective.
Keep the engine tuned up.

AIR SUCTION VALVE

(1) Air Suction Valve

Further to meet emission standards this
motorcycle is provided with the air suction
valve.
Air Suction Valve (1) supplies fresh air
from the air filter to the exhaust manifold
to convert carbon monoxide to carbon
dioxide. This reduces the CO% in the
vehicles exhaust.
