VEHICLE SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Your vehicle can provide many years of service and pleasure if you take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you can meet on the road.

There is much that you can do to prote yourself when you ride. You will find many helpful recommendations through out this manual. Following are a few that we consider most important.

Always wear a helmet

It is a proven fact, Helmet significantly reduces the number and severity of head injuries. So always wear a helmet and make sure your pillion rider does the same. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves and other protective gear (page 6).

Before riding your vehicle

Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally focused and free of alcohol and drugs. Check that you and your pillion are both wearing an approved vehicle helmet and protective apparel. Instruct your pillion on holding onto the grab rail or your waist, leaning with you in turns, and keeping their feet on the footrest, even when the vehicle is stopped.

Take time to learn & practice your vehicle

Even if you have ridden other vehicles, practice riding in a safe area to become familiar with how this vehicle works and handles, and to become accustomed to the vehicle's size and weight.

Ride efensivelyd

Always pay due attention to other vehicles around you, and do not assume that other drivers see you. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform an evasive maneuver.

Make yourself easily visible

Some drivers do not see vehicles because they are not looking for them. To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself so that others can see you, signal before turning or changing lanes, and use horn which will help others to notice you.

Ride within your limits

Pushing the limits is another major cause of vehicle accidents. Never ride beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions demand. Remember that fatigue and negligence can significantly reduce your ability to make good judgements and ride safely.

Do not drink and ride

Riding under the influence of alcohol or drugs is dangerous. Alcohol can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions and reduce the reaction time. Do not drink and ride.

Keep your vehicle in safe condition

For safe riding, its important to inspect your vehicle before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits, and use accessories that have been recommended by Hero MotoCorp for this vehicle. See (page 7) for more details.

If you are involved in a crash

Personal safety is your first priority. If you or anyone else has been injured, take time to assess the severity of the injuries and whether it is safe to continue riding. Call for emergency assistance if needed. Also follow applicable laws and regulations if another person or vehicle is involved in the crash.

If you decide to continue riding, first evaluate the condition of your vehicle. If the engine is still running, turn it off. Inspect for fluid leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts and bolts, and check the handlebar, brake levers, brakes and wheels. Ride slowly and cautiously. Your vehicle may have suffered damage that is not immediately apparent. Have your vehicle thoroughly checked at a qualified service facility as soon as possible.

PROTECTIVE APPAREL

For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an approved helmet (ISI marked), eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants and a long sleeve shirt or jacket whenever you ride. Take care of loose/hanging clothes while solo/pillion riding. Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper gear can reduce the chance of injury when you ride.

Following are suggestions to help you choose proper riding gear.

WARNING

• Not wearing a helmet increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash.
• Be sure you and your pillion always wear a helmet, eye protection and other protective apparel when you ride.

Helmets and eye protection

Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the best protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely. A bright coloured helmet can make you more noticeable in traffic, as can reflective strips.

An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more. Always wear face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.

Additional riding gear

In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:

• Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles.
• Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns, and bruises.
  • A two wheeler riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection. Bright coloured reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure to avoid loose clothes that could get caught on any part of your vehicle.

PROTECTIVE APPAREL

Shoes should be close fitting, low heels and offer ankle protection

LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES

Your vehicle has been designed to carry you, one pillion and limited amount of cargo. Whe you add cargo or carry a passenger, you may feel some difference during acceleration and braking. But so long as you keep your vehicle well maintained, with good tyres and brakes, you can safely carry loads within the limits and guidelines.

However exceeding the weight limit or carrying an unbalanced load can seriously affect your vehicle's handling, braking and stability. Non Hero MotoCorp accessories, modifications, and poor maintenance can reduce your safety margin.

The following pages give more specific information on loading, accessories and modifications.

MAJOR COMPONENTS

(Information you need to operate this vehicle)

BRAKES (INTEGRATED BRAKING)

Brakes are items of personal safety and should always be maintained with proper adjustments,

Your vehicle is equipped with integrated braking system.

When one applies the left brake lever, front & rear brakes activate jointly.

WARNING

• Independent use of only the front or rear brake increases stopping distance.
• Extreme braking may cause wheel locking and reduce control over the vehicle.
- 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 vehicle.
- When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose surfaces the ability to stop the vehicle 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.

(a) Front brake system (Disc type)

Front brake fluid

Master cylinder/Reservoir

Location: Right handlebar

To access the master cylinder (1) remove the headlamp assembly (page 44).

Brake fluid recommended: DoT 3 or DoT 4 Fluid level: Ensure that the brake fluid level does not fall below “MIN” mark (2) on the master cylinder, when checked with the master cylinder parallel to the ground. The level decreases gradually due to piston movement to compensate pad wear. If the level decreases abruptly, check for leakage in the brake system and contact your Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop.

(1) Master cylinder
(2) "MIN" mark

NOTE

Always contact Hero your Authorised MotoCorp workshop for refilling of master cylinder when necessary. Do not mix DoT 3 and DoT 4 brake fluid.

(b) Brake pad wear

Brake pad wear depends upon the severity of usage, the type of riding & road conditions.

Generally, the pads will wear faster on wet & dirty roads. Inspect the pads at each regular maintenance interval.

Inspection

• Check the wear indicator grooves (1) on each pad.
• Check the brake pads for wear by examining the wear limit grooves on each pad.
• Replace the pads if worn out to the bottom of the groove.
  • Always replace both the pads as a set.

(2) Ignition key

Do not overfill the tank. There should be no fuel (4) in the filler neck (5).

(4) Fuel
(5) Filler neck

We recommend that you use unleaded petrol because the muffler in the vehicle is fitted with a catalytic convertor, it also produces lesser deposits in engine and on spark plug, which extends the life of exhaust system and other components.

After refueling, be sure to tighten the fuel filler cap firmly by turning it clockwise.

Make sure the arrow marks (6) on the fuel filler cap and the fuel tank are aligned.

(1) Fuel filler cap
(6) Arrow marks

For locking, press the fuel tank lid gently.

NOTE

If "Spark knock" or "pinking" occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load, change petrol brand. If the same still persists, consult your Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop. Failure to do so is considered misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not covered under Hero MotoCorp warranty policy.

(b) Petrol containing alcohol

If you decide to use a petrol containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure its octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by Hero MotoCorp.

There are two types of "gasohol", one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol.

Do not use petrol that contains more than 10% of ethanol.

Do not use petrol containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol.

Never use petrol containing more than 5% methanol, even if it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.

• When certain type of petrol containing alcohols are used, problems such as hard starting, poor performance, etc. may occur.
• If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms while using the petrol that contains alcohol, try another station or switch to another brand of petrol.
• When a problem resulting from the use of petrol containing alcohol occurs, contact your Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop.

!! CAUTION

Please ensure the vehicle is not used continuously when the fuel level indicator reaches the one segment blinking. It will not only result in the vehicle running out of fuel, it may also cause serious damage to the fuel pump. Please ensure fuel is filled up as soon as the fuel level indicator reaches one segment blinking.

!! WARNING

• Petrol is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
• Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks and flame away.
  • Refuel only outdoors.
  • Wipe off spills immediately.

TYRES (TUBELESS)

The tyres fitted on your vehicle are of TUBELESS type. To safely operate your vehicle, the 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 the tyres for damage and what to do when tyres need to be repaired or replaced.

WARNING

• Riding on 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 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 vehicle ride harshly are more prone to damage from road hazards and wear unevenly.

We recommend that you visually check tyres before every ride and use a gauge to measure air pressure at least once a month or any time you think the tyre pressure is 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 vehicle has been parked for at least three hours. If you check air pressure when your tyres are "warm"-when the vehicle has been ridden for even a few kilometers, 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	1.50 kgf/cm^2 (22 psi)	1.50 kgf/cm^2 (22 psi)
Rear	2.00 kgf/cm^2 (29 psi)	2.50 kgf/cm^2 (36 psi)

CAUTION

Over inflation/Under inflation will affect the performance.

(1) Air pressure gauge

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.

Diagram of a mechanical or fluidic component with internal hatching and directional arrows, no readable text or symbols present.

- Carefully inspect the tyres for any damage, if the vehicle 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: 0.8 mm

Rear: 1.0 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 (2) on the tyre is in the same direction as that of forward rotation of wheel.

Tyre repair

Repairing a puncture or removing a wheel requires special tools and technical expertise. If a tyre is punctured or damaged, it is advised to visit nearest tyre manufacture, Hero MotoCorp authorised dealer/workshop or the tyre repair shop who has expertise in repairing methods of tubeless tyre.

A tyre that is repaired either temporarily or permanently, will have lower speed and performance limits than a new tyre. After an emergency repair, always have the tyre inspected/replaced at our authorised dealer and replace the tyre if suggested.

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. If you decide to have a tyre replace be sure the wheel is balanced before you ride.

WARNING

• Operation with excessively worn tyres is hazardous and will adversely affect traction and handling.
• Under-inflation may result in the tyre slipping on or tyre coming off the rim.
  • Always use the size and type of tyres recommended in this owner's manual.

Tyre replacement

The tyres that were installed on your vehicle were designed to match the performance capabilities of your vehicle and provide the best combination of handling, braking, durability and comfort.

NOTE

The imported tyre(s) if fitted without ISI mark; are in compliance of BIS standard and Central Motor Vehicle Rules 1989, as declared by the Tyre manufacturer.

The recommended tyre for your vehicle are: Front : 90/90-12 54 J (Tubeless tyre) Rear : 90/100-10 53 J (Tubeless tyre)

NOTE

For repair and replacement of tyre it is advised to visit your Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop.

Important safety reminders

• Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tyre on this vehicle. Excessive heat buildup can cause the tube to burst.
• Use only tubeless tyres on this vehicle. 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.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Always follow the proper starting procedure described below. This vehicle has a fuel injected system.

Operate the kick starter or electric starter switch for slightly longer than usual without opening the throttle if the vehicle has been left standing for a long time or when the fuel tank has just been refilled.

NOTE

• When cranking the engine by using brake & starter switch or brake & slight throttle, cranking of engine will stop after 5 seconds, if engine does not start. After that, brake & starter switch or brake & slight throttle is required to crank the engine.
  • In case the engine gets started, cranking (starter relay engagement) of engine will stop after engine reaches 900 r/min.

Your vehicle's exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. High levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly in enclosed areas such as a garage. Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even with the door open, run the engine only long enough to move your vehicle out of the garage.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to start the engine and run the vehicle without a battery. This may lead to electrical and electronic components failure.

• Park the vehicle on its main stand.
• The electric starter will only work when the front or integrated brake lever is operated.
• Turn the ignition switch (1) to "ON" (Ω) position.

- Confirm that the programmed FI malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) (2) glows continuously and then should go “OFF” once the engine is started.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

This vehicle is equipped with the catalytic converters (1) in the muffler to meet the emission norms.

The catalytic converters contains precious metals that serve as catalysts, promoting chemical reactions to convert the exhaust gasses without affecting the metals. The catalytic converters acts on HC, CO and NOx.

The catalytic converters must operate at a high temperature for the chemical reactions to take place. It can set on fire any combustible

material that come near it. Park your vehicle away from high grasses, dry leaves, or other flammable material.

Mechanical assembly diagram showing a car wheel, suspension components, and mechanical parts (no text or symbols visible)

(1) Catalytic converters

A defective catalytic converter contributes to air pollution and can impair your engine's performance.

Follow these guidelines to protect your vehicle's catalytic converters.

• Always use unleaded petrol. Even a small amount of leaded petrol can contaminate the catalyst metals, making the catalytic converters ineffective.

Keep the engine in good running condition. A poorly running engine can cause the catalytic converters to overheat.

- If your engine is misfiring, backfiring, stalling, or otherwise not running properly, stop riding and turn "OFF" the engine. - Have your vehicle serviced as soon as a possible.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

This vehicle is equipped with an evaporative emission control system to meet emission standards. During warm weather, the petrol vapours which contain HC evaporates easily into the atmosphere from the fuel tank, if the fuel system is unsealed or open. The evaporative emission control system is used to prevent petrol vapours from escaping into the atmosphere from fuel tank. The canister (1) collects the fuel vapour from the fuel tank and then the fuel vapour is drawn into the engine for re-burning to avoid pollution caused by the fuel vapour diffused into the air.
