SAFE RIDING RECOMMENDATIONS

Any two wheeler riding requires some precautions to be taken to ensure the safety of the rider, pillion and other road users. These precautions are:

Familiarise yourself with new TVS StaR City+

Riding skill and your mechanical knowledge form the foundation of safe riding practices. We suggest you to practice riding TVS StaR City+ in a low-traffic condition until you are thoroughly familiar with your vehicle and its controls. Remember practice makes you perfect.

Riding apparel

Loose, fancy clothing can be uncomfortable and unsafe when riding a two-wheeler. Choose good quality two wheeler riding apparel.

Know your limits

Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Knowing these limits and staying within them will help you to avoid accidents.

Warning

Two wheeler safety equipment starts with a safety helmet of good quality. One of the most serious injuries that can happen is a head injury. Always wear ISI approved helmet. You should also have good suitable eye protection.

Posture

Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture.

1. Sit erect on the seat at the position which you feel most comfortable.
2. Keep your arms relaxed to give extra cushion for body on uneven road surfaces.
3. Keep right arm and foot close to the brake lever and pedal, so as to enable fast action during panic braking.
4. Look widely instead of gazing at one point.
5. Alter your sitting location/posture slightly at intervals during long rides. This will reduce fatigue.

Cornering

When cornering, centrifugal force works in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the vehicle is moving. Centrifugal force increases in proportion with speed and the radius of the corner.

During cornering, reduce speed so as to lessen the effects of centrifugal force. By all means, avoid abrupt application of brake or sudden steering.

Warning

One-hand riding is dangerous. Keep both hands firmly on the handle bar and both feet securely on the foot rest. Under no circumstances should both the hands be removed from the handle bar, as it is very dangerous.

Avoid use of mobile phones while riding as it could lead to fatal accident.

Do not downshift the gear in the midst of cornering. Slow down to a safe speed before negotiating a corner. If this is the first time that you are riding a vehicle of this type, we suggest that you practice on a safe, open area to become thoroughly familiar with the operation of the vehicle.

Braking

For safe riding, it is very important to master the braking techniques.

1. Close / release the throttle.
2. Hold the vehicle upright as you apply the brake.
3. Progressive application of brake is safer.

4. Never depress the clutch lever while braking at higher speeds.

5. Apply both the brakes.

6. Riding down hills, while cornering and wet roads, close the throttle and down shift the gear to take advantage of gearbox and engine which acts as an additional brake. This will avoid the loss of control over the vehicle due to over speed.

Causes for poor braking

1. If the brake shoes / pads or drum / disc are worn out or if there is water or oil on them, sufficient friction does not develop and brakes do not work well.

2. Even when the brake works normally, if the road surface is wet or the tyre surface is worn-out, tyres do not take a firm hold on the surface, increasing the stopping distance.

3. Approximately 60% braking effect is from front brake. Non-usage of front brake causes poor braking.

Warning

As the vehicle speed increases, the stopping distance also increases progressively. Be sure that, you have sufficient distance between you and the vehicle or obstruction ahead of you.

Using only the front or rear brake is dangerous and can cause skidding and loss of control. Apply both the brakes together and with great care on a wet road or other slippery surfaces. Any abrupt braking on slippery or irregular roads can cause loss of rider control.

ACCESSORY INSTALLATION AND SAFETY TIPS

Use extreme caution while selecting and installing the accessories for your motorcycle.

The addition of unsuitable accessories can lead to unsafe operating conditions. Your friendly Dealer will assist you in selecting quality accessories and installing them correctly.

While selecting the accessories, make sure the accessories should not obstruct lighting, steerability, suspension level and ground clearance. Please ensure that, if the tank cover is used, it is not getting en-trapped between fuel tank and fuel tank cap.

Additional electrical equipments and controls should not exceed the specified electrical system load of the vehicle (capacity of battery and magneto)

EMISSION CONTROL

All the TVS vehicles are tested in the factory for optimum fuel efficiency and lowest possible CO levels.

Do not disturb the Carburettor settings as this may lead to higher fuel consumption and also higher CO levels.

If the vehicle needs any adjustments, please consult nearest TVS Motor Company Authorised Main Dealer or Authorised Dealer.

While adequate care is exercised at the factory to ensure that the emissions are within the limits, it is essential for the owner to always maintain the motorcycle in good condition by getting it periodically checked and serviced by TVS Motor Company Authorised Main Dealer or Authorised Dealer so that the emission and fuel consumption levels are maintained as per norms.

Note

Get your vehicle certified by the Government authorised emission testing stations at specified intervals.

Keep the transmission in neutral and press the electric starter switch* to start the engine electrically or kick start.

When the engine is cold

☐ Pull the choke lever and start the engine using kick starter with no opening / very less opening of throttle.
☐ Once the engine is started and running stable, release the choke lever and ride the vehicle (when the engine is worm / hot do not use choke).

Caution

Do not keep the engine in idling rpm for long and do not open excessive throttle when engine is idling and the vehicle is parked. It leads to overheating of engine and damage to internal components.

* Applicable for electric start model only

Warning

Do not run the engine indoors where little or no ventilation available. Exhaust gases are extremely poisonous.

SETTING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION

1. Depress the clutch lever and engage the first gear by pressing rear end of gear shift lever.
2. Open the throttle slowly and simultaneously release the clutch lever gently and gradually. The vehicle starts moving forward.
3. As the vehicle picks up speed, shift to the next higher gear by closing the throttle, applying the clutch and pressing the gear shift lever rear end once again.
4. Release the clutch lever and open the throttle smoothly. Select the required gear in similar manner.

Using the transmission

The transmission is provided to keep the engine to run smoothly in its normal operating speed range. The gear ratios have been carefully chosen to meet the characteristics of the engine.

The rider should always select the most suitable gear to achieve the necessary speed and pulling power smoothly.

Riding on hills / gradients

When climbing steep hills, the motorcycle may begin to slow down and show lack of power. At this point you should shift to a lower gear so that the engine will again be operating in its normal power range. Shift gears rapidly to prevent the motorcycle from losing momentum.

When riding down a hill, the engine may be used as braking by shifting to a lower gear.

Stopping and parking

1. Close the throttle completely and apply both the brakes simultaneously.
2. Down shift the gears as the road speed decreases. Bring the engine to neutral position just before the vehicle stops.

Warning

Reduce speed to a safe limit before turning / cornering. Do not apply brake while turning / cornering. Do not disengage clutch before braking.

1. Turn the ignition 'OFF'.
2. Park the vehicle on a firm, flat surface.
3. Lock the steering and turn 'OFF' the fuel cock.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION

Use unleaded petrol only.

The petrol should be 85 to 95 octane by research method. Use recommended fuel additives for longer life of engine components and lower maintenance. Petrol mixed with ethanol will have impact on engine components. Contact your TVS Motor Company Authorised Main Dealer / Authorised Dealer for usage.

Caution

Never mix oil in petrol in the fuel tank. Always fill fuel from the reputed and reliable fuel stations.

Note

Use fuel additives in petrol as recommended by the respective manufacturer for low carbon deposition.

CHECKS AND TIPS FOR IMPROVING FUEL ECONOMY

Regular checks

Carry out the periodic maintenance checks as specified in this manual (page no. 30 and 31).

Regular maintenance checks will save fuel and ensure trouble-free, enjoyable and safe riding besides keeping environment clean.

Spark plug

A dirty or defective spark plug leads to wastage of fuel due to incomplete combustion. Clean and adjust the spark plug only if necessary. Replace the spark plug every 12000 kms (1 year). Always use recommended spark plug only.

Air cleaner element

A dirty air cleaner element restricts airflow and increases fuel consumption. Replace the element every 12000 kms.

Since paper filter is used in your motorcycle it is not recommended to clean the filter. Replace the filter incase of any abnormalities.

Clutch

Increase in engine rpm during acceleration, without increase in road speed indicates the clutch slip. A slipping clutch will cause high fuel consumption and engine over heat.

If the condition persists even after adjusting the clutch lever play, immediately have the clutch checked by TVS Motor Company Authorised Main Dealer or Authorised Dealer.

Engine cum transmission oil

Dirty or less engine cum transmission oil increases the friction between various parts of engine and reduces the engine life, thereby increases the fuel consumption.

Regularly inspect the engine cum transmission oil for correct level and top-up if necessary. Get it replaced at regular intervals as per the maintenance schedule.

Caution

Never drive the vehicle with half clutch. This will reduce the life of clutch and affects the performance of the vehicle and fuel economy.

Fuel leak

Check and arrest fuel leak if any, from tank, carburettor and fuel lines. Loss of fuel due to leak may drain the fuel tank completely.

Evaporation

Vehicle parked in the hot sun leads to wastage of fuel through evaporation. Also, lower fuel levels in the tank will have increased evaporation and condensation of moisture inside, which may result in rusting of the tank.

Ensure to close fuel tank cap after every filling. If the fuel tank cap kept open for long time it leads to safety and fuel loss.

Tyres

Low tyre pressure has adverse effect on the vehicle. The drag on the vehicle increases resulting decreased fuel economy. Further more, handling may be adversely affected.

Inspect the tyre pressure regularly (weekly) and inflate it to the recommended pressure (refer page no. 41). Never use tyres which are worn beyond the permissible limit.

Chain slackness

Check and ensure the drive chain slackness. Excess slackness leads to higher fuel consumption (refer page no. 42).

Wheel freeness

Inspect and ensure the wheel freeness by rotating the wheels at least once in a week to avoid wastage of fuel.

Fast starting from rest wastes fuel

A racing start from rest at full throttle can waste fuel and damage the engine. It also creates a potentially dangerous traffic situation.

Fast acceleration wastes fuel

Fuel is wasted whenever you suddenly accelerate or apply brake.

Avoid unnecessary idling

While waiting for someone or stopping in signals for long time, if the engine is kept running at idle speed, it causes unnecessary wastage of fuel.

Avoid frequent braking

Anticipate corners and slopes as well as the traffic conditions. Unnecessary and frequent braking will reduce the fuel economy.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

The maintenance schedule indicates the intervals between periodic services. At the end of each interval, be sur to inspect, check, replace, adjust, lubricate and service as instructed. If the maintenance is not done periodically, it will result in rapid wear and severe damage to the vehicle. If the vehicle is used under high stress conditions su as continuous full throttle operation or if used / operated in dusty climate, certain jobs should be performed more often to ensure reliability of the vehicle. Cylinder head, steering components, suspension, chain and wheel components etc., are key items and require very special and careful servicing. TVS Motor Company Limited strongly recommends that the jobs as per the maintenance schedule be performed by your TVS Motor Compan Authorised Main Dealer / Authorised Dealer.

Periodic inspections may reveal one or more parts that may need replacement. Whenever replacing parts on TVS StaR City+, it is recommended that you use only the TVS Motor Company Genuine parts.

Caution

Proper running-in and maintenance are mandatory for making certain that your vehicle is reliable and gives optimum performance at all times. Be sure that the periodic maintenance is performed thoroughly in accordance with the instructions given in this owner's manual.

In more dusty areas, the air filter element may required early replacement than the mentioned kilometers to avoid costly damages to the engine.

3. Wipe out the oil traces with a clean cloth to prevent dust accumulation and assemble back the gauge oil level.

Caution

If the vehicle is driven with less engine cum transmission oil, the engine components will be severely damaged. Check the oil level as per the schedule to avoid costly damage.

Do not fill excess oil may cause oil leak. Always use 'TVS TRU4 PREMIUM oil (SAE 10W30 SL-JASO MA2) only.

CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

Clutch lever free play is one of the most important adjustment which you may need to check in-between services for better life of the clutch plates. The free play of the clutch lever should be 8 \~ 15 mm as measured at the clutch lever end before the clutch begins to disengage.

Adjust the clutch lever free play periodically by means of clutch cable adjuster at arm clutch release if the free play is not within the specified limit.

1. Ensure that the engine is cold.

1. Loosen the lock nut (2) while holding the clutch cable adjuster (3). Adjust the clutch cable adjusting nut (1) 'in' or 'out' to give sufficient play in the clutch lever.
2. After adjusting the play, hold the adjuster nut in the same position, tighten the lock nut.

Caution

Too much or too less clutch lever free play will damage the clutch plates, thereby affecting the performance of the vehicle. Adjust the clutch lever free play only when the engine is cold.

REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS

TVS StaR City+ is provided with 5 step adjustable rear shock absorbers to meet different road and load. There are 5 notches for adjusting spring load.

If the spring is adjusted to the minimum notch, then the shock absorber will be softer which is good for light loads. If the spring is adjusted to maximum notch, then it will be stiffer which is good for heavy loads.

Adjust the spring pre-load by shifting the adjuster to the required notch according to the different load conditions.

The more you compress the spring, the suspension becomes more stiff.

Brake shoe wear indicator

When the brake is applied, wear limit index mark (A) on both front and rear brake cam should be within the range of wear limit indicator (B) on both the front and rear brake panel assemblies. Incase the index mark (A) is going beyond the wear limit (B), index the lever to next slot with the help of Dealer to extend shoe life.

Caution

Replace the brake shoes as a set, if the wear limit indicator shows beyond the wear limit even after indexing the lever.

TYRES

Tyre pressure:

Check the tyre pressure atleast once in a week if not more frequently. Insufficient air pressure in the tyres not only hasten tyre wear, but also seriously affects the stability of the vehicle.

Under inflated tyres make smooth cornering difficult and over inflated tyres decreases the tyre contact with the ground which can lead to skidding and loss of control. Lower tyre pressure consumes more fuel.

Be sure that the tyre pressure is within the specified limit at all times.

	Solo	Pillion
Front	1.75 kg/cm2(25 PSI)	1.75 kg/cm2(25 PSI)
Rear	2.25 kg/cm2(32 PSI)	2.53 kg/cm2(36 PSI)

Tyre tread condition

Operating the vehicle with excessively worn tyres will decrease riding stability and can lead to loss of control. It is recommended to replace the tyre when the tyre wears off to the tyre wear indicator level (indicated by TWI (A) on the tyre).

Tyre rotation direction

While reassembling the tyres, after removing from the wheel rim, ensure that the arrow mark (A) on the tyre facing the direction of wheel rotation.

Warning

The tyre inflation pressure in cold condition and the tyre tread condition are extremely important for the performance and safety of the rider. Check the tyres frequently for inflation pressure as well as the wear pattern on it.

Use of a tyre other than the standard may cause instability.

DRIVE CHAIN

Proper lubrication and adjustment of drive chain gives long service life of chain. Poor maintenance of chain causes premature wear or damage to the drive chain and sprockets. Poor chain maintenance also affects mileage of the vehicle. The drive chain must be cleaned, checked, lubricated and adjusted at specified intervals mentioned in the maintenance schedule. If the vehicle is used under severe conditions and more dusty area, the drive chain must be attended more frequently. Check, clean, lubricate and adjust the drive chain in the following manner:
