Frequently Asked Questions - Splendor Pro (2013) HERO

What type of engine oil does the Splendor Pro use?
The recommended engine oil is 20W40 grade. Use high-quality 4-stroke engine oil (API SL or higher). Change every 2000 km.
How to check the tire pressure correctly?
Check tire pressure when tires are cold. Recommended pressures: Front 25 psi, Rear 30 psi (solo riding); adjust for pillion or load.
What is the break-in period and how to ride during it?
The break-in period is the first 1000 km. Avoid full throttle, high RPM, and prolonged constant speed. Vary speed and do not exceed 60 km/h.
How to start the motorcycle when the engine is cold?
Turn the fuel tap to ON, apply choke fully, kick start (or use electric start if equipped) without twisting the throttle. Once started, gradually release choke.
What fuel octane rating is recommended?
Use unleaded petrol with RON 91 or higher. Avoid ethanol blends above E10 as they may affect performance.
How often should I clean and lubricate the chain?
Lubricate the drive chain every 500 km or after riding in wet conditions. Clean it with kerosene and apply chain lube or SAE 90 gear oil.
What should I do if the battery is completely discharged?
If the battery is drained, remove it and charge with a 12V 0.5A charger for 8-10 hours. Do not exceed current. If it does not hold charge, replace it.
How to set the correct idle speed?
Idle speed should be 1400 ± 100 rpm when the engine is warm. Adjust using the throttle stop screw on the carburetor.
What are the common causes of poor fuel economy?
Common causes include clogged air filter, incorrect carburetor tuning, underinflated tires, dragging brakes, or using wrong engine oil. Check these first.
How do I replace the headlight bulb?
Remove the headlight visor screws, disconnect the wiring, and remove the bulb. Replace with a 12V 35/35W halogen bulb. Reassemble in reverse order.

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 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 :

Front2.75 x 18 - 42P/4PR
Rear2.75 x 18 - 48P/6PR

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. Under inflated tyres can also cause wheel 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 Splendor Pro (2013) - Air Pressure - 1

natural_image Close-up of a hand using a pressure gauge to measure the wheel rim, with no visible text or symbols.

(1) Air Pressure Gauge
Make sure the valve stem caps are secure. If necessary, install a new cap.

The recommended "Cold" tyre pressures are :

Rider onlyRider and Pillion
Front1.75 kgf/cm2(25 psi)1.75 kgf/cm2(25 psi)
Rear2.00 kgf/cm2(28 psi)2.50 kgf/cm2(36 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.

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.

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 for tyre wear.

Technical diagram showing mechanical assembly with labeled components and directional arrows

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 and killed.
  • Operation with excessively worn tyres is hazardous and will adversely affect traction and handling.
  • Follow all instructions 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

NOTE :

  • To start the engine in any gear position using the electric starter, press the clutch lever and push the starter switch.
  • Kick starting will not be possible when the transmission gears are engaged. Shift the transmission into neutral before kick starting.
  • Never attempt to kick start while motorcycle is moving forward or backward. This may lead to damage to the product and is not safe as well.

WARNING

Never run the engine in a closed area, the exhaust contains poisonous gases.

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 kms, do not operate the motorcycle at more than 60 kms/hr speed in top gear, 45 kms/hr in third gear, 30 kms/hr in second gear and 15 kms/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 kms will reduce initial wear of engine components and increase its service life.

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 to shift into 1^st (low) 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 2^nd gear by depressing the gearshift pedal.
  5. This sequence is repeated progressively to shift to 3^rd and 4^th (top gear).

1^st 0-20 km/hr
2^nd 15-30 km/hr
3^rd 20-40 km/hr
4^th 30 km/hr and above

N 1 2 3 4 NECO

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 simultaneously 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 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 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 accelerations, 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 to neutral, turn the fuel valve "OFF", turn the ignition switch "OFF", park the motorcycle on main stand, lock the steering and remove the key

CAUTION

  • Park the motorcycle on firm level ground to prevent overturning.
  • While parking vehicle on side stand engage the first gear.

ANTI-THEFT TIPS

  1. Always lock the steering and never leave the key in the ignition switch.

  2. Park your motorcycle in a locked garage whenever possible.

  3. Use an additional anti-theft device of good quality.

  4. Put your name, address and phone number in this Owner's Manual and keep it in your motorcycle at all times.

VALVE CLEARANCE

Excessive valve clearance will cause noise, and little or no clearance will prevent the valve from closing and cause valve damage and power loss. Check valve clearance at the specified intervals (page 28).

Technical diagram of a mechanical component with numbered parts and labeled features

(1) Crankshaft hole cap (2) Timing hole cap (3) 'T' mark (4) Index mark

NOTE

The checking or adjustment of valve clearance should be performed while the engine is cold. The clearance will change as the engine temperature rises.

  1. Remove the crankshaft hole cap (1), timing hole cap (2) and tappet covers.

  2. Rotate the flywheel anticlockwise until the 'T' mark (3) on the flywheel coincides with the index mark (4) on the left crankcase cover. In this 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 360 °anticlockwise and re-align the 'T' mark with the index mark.

  1. Check the clearance by inserting the feeler gauge (5) between the adjusting screw (6) and valve stem.

DRIVE CHAIN

The service life of the drive chain is dependent upon proper lubrication and adjustment. Poor maintenance can cause premature wear or damage to the drive chain and sprockets. The drive chain (1) should be checked and lubricated as part of the Pre-ride Inspection (page 21). Under severe usage, or when the motorcycle is ridden in unusually dusty areas, more frequent maintenance will be necessary.

Inspection

  1. Turn the engine "OFF", park the motorcycle on its main stand and shift the transmission to neutral. Remove hole cap (2).
  2. Drive chain slack (3) should be adjusted to allow approximately 25 mm vertical movement by hand.

Rotate the wheel and check drive chain slack as the wheel rotates. Drive chain slack should remain constant as the wheel rotates. If the chain is slack in one section and tight in another, some links are kinked and binding. Binding can be eliminated by frequent lubrication.

WASHING THE MOTORCYCLE

Follow the below mentioned steps for washing the motorcycle.

  1. Wet the motorcycle with light water spray. Avoid directing water to muffler outlet and electrical parts.
  2. Clean the headlamp lens and other plastic parts using a cloth or sponge dampened with a solution of mild detergent and water. Rub the soiled area gently rinsing it frequently with fresh water.

  3. After cleaning spray water thoroughly.

  4. Dry the motorcycle by wiping with dry soft cloth.

NOTE

  • Our authorised dealership take all above mentioned precautions like recommended detergents and usage of muffler caps/ plugs during wash to ensure quality of wash.
  • Do not use high pressure water (or air). It can damage certain parts of motorcycle.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

This motorcycle is equipped with a catalytic converter in the muffler.

The catalytic converter contains noble metals that serve as catalyst, promoting chemical reactions to convert CO and HC in the exhaust to C_2O 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.

AIR SUCTION VALVE

(1) Air Suction Valve

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.
