TYRES

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.

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:

Front18/100x18-47P
Rear90/90x18-51P

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.Look for:

Under inflated tyres can also cause whee damage in rocky terrain. Over inflated tyres make your motorcycle ride more harshly, are more prone to damage from surface hazards and wear unevenly.

HERO Passion Xpro (2012) - Air Pressure - 1

natural_image Close-up of a hand adjusting a car tire with pressure gauge and lever (no visible text or symbols)

Front1.75 kgf/cm ^2 (25 psi)1.75 kgf/cm ^2 (25 psi)
Rear2.00 kgf/cm ^2 (29 psi)2.25 kgf/cm ^2 (33 psi)

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:

Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or the 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.

Also, if you hit a pothole or hard object, pull to the side of the road as soon as you safely can and carefully inspect the tyres for damage.

Tread Wear

Replace tyres immediately when the wear indicator (1) appears on the tyre. The tread limits are:

MINIMUM TREAD DEPTH:

Front:1.0 mm

Rear: 1.0 mm

Check the tread wear indicator (1) for tyre wear.

(1) Tread wear indicator
(2) Arrow mark

Unidirectional Tyres

Ensure the arrow mark (2) on the tyre is in the same direction as that of forward rotation of the wheel, whenever the tyre is removed and put back in case of puncture.

WARNING

Using tyres that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Operation with excessively worn tyres is hazardous and will adversely affect traction and handling.
Follow all instruction in this owner's manual regarding tyre inflation and maintenance.
Under-inflation may result in the tyre slipping on or tyre coming off the rim.

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 motorcycles surfaces. Inspect your motorcycle very day before you start the engine. The items listed he will only take a few minutes, and in the long run they can save time, expense and possibly your life. Please follow the tips as given below:

Engine Oil Level-check and top up engine oil if required (page 15). Check for leaks.
▶ Fuel Level-ensure sufficient fuel is available in your fuel tank for journey (page 14). Check for leaks.
Front and rear brakes-check operation. Adjust free play if necessary (page 32 & 34).
Front brake (Disc type)-check for con brake fluid level in the master cylinder (pag 33-34).

▶ Tyres-check condition and pressure (page 16 to 18).
Clutch-check for smooth operation. Adjust free play (page 29-30).
\$ Drive Chain-check condition and slackness (page 30 to 32). Adjust and lubricate if necessary.
Throttle-check for smooth opening and closing in all steering positions (page 27-28).
Lamps and Horn-check that headlamp, tail/stop lamp, turn signal lamps, indicators and horn function properly.

Rear View Mirror-ensure that the rear view mirror gives a good rear view when you are sitting on the motorcycle.

Fitting & Fasteners-check & tighten if necessary.

here Steering-check for smooth action for runeasy maneuverability.

Air Suction Valve-make sure all tube connections are secured properly (page 42).

Flooded Engine

If the engine fails to start after repeated attempts, it may be flooded with excess fuel. To clear a flooded engine, turn the ignition switch “OFF” and turn the choke lever to “OFF”. Close the throttle fully and crank the engine several times with the kick starter. Turn the ignition switch “ON” and start the engine without using choke.

Running In

During first 1000 km, do not operate the motorcycle at more than 60 km/hr speed in top gear, 45 km/hr in third gear, 30 km/hr in second gear and 15 km/hr in first gear. Avoid full throttle operation. During initial running in, newly machined surfaces will be in contact with each other and these surfaces will wear in quickly. Running in precautions till 1000 km will reduce initial wear of engine components and increase its service life.

RIDING

WARNING

Independent use of only the front or 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 a 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 stop the motorcycle reduces.
All 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.

Our authorised dealership take all above mentioned precautions like recommended detergents and usage of muffler caps/plugs during wash to ensure quality wash.
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).

The catalytic converter contains noble metals that serve as catalyst, promoting chemica reactions to convert CO and HC in the exhaust to CO_2 and H_2O (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.

(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 vehicle's exhaust.
