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 should be checked and lubricated as part of the Pre-ride Inspection. Under severe usage, or when the motorcycle is ridden in unusually dusty areas, more frequent maintenance will be necessary.
Inspection
  • Turn the engine "OFF", park the motorcycle on its main stand and shift the transmission to neutral. Remove hole cap.
  • Drive chain slack 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.
  • Turn the chain to view chain lock plate inside the hole. Ensure that the chain lock plate open end is installed in the opposite direction of the chain rotation.
Inspect the sprocket teeth for wear or damage.
If the drive chain or sprockets are excessively worn or damaged, they should be replaced. Never use a new chain with worn out sprockets since this will result in rapid chain wear.
Adjustment
  • Park the motorcycle on its main stand with the transmission in neutral and the ignition switch in "OFF" position.
  • Loosen the rear axle nut and sleeve nut.
  • Loosen the drive chain lock nut.
  • Turn both the adjusting nuts in an equal number of turns until the correct drive chain slack is obtained. Turn the adjusting nut clockwise to decrease the slack or anticlockwise to increase the slack of the chain.
  • Align the chain adjuster index mark with the corresponding scale graduations on both the sides of the swing arm equally.
  • If the drive chain slack is excessive when the rear axle is moved to the farthest limit of adjustment, the drive chain is worn and must be replaced.
  • Tighten the rear axle nut and sleeve nut.
    • - Rear axle nut torque: 5.4 kgf-m.
    • - Sleeve nut torque: 4.4 kgf-m.
  • Check the drive chain slack again.
  • Rear brake pedal free play and stop lamp switch free play are affected when repositioning the rear wheel to adjust drive chain slack. Check rear brake pedal free play and adjust as necessary.
Lubrication
  • Turn the engine "OFF", park the motorcycle on its main stand and shift the transmission into neutral.
  • Lubricate the drive chain by applying liberal amount of SAE 90 oil.
Caution
Regular adjustment and lubrication as per the maintenance schedule would ensure high performance and longer life.
Note
Visit authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop for inspection, cleaning, lubrication and adjustment of drive chain at every 2000 kms.

If the drive chain or sprockets are excessively worn or damaged, they should be replaced.
Caution
Always replace the drive chain and sprockets as a set. Otherwise the new part will wear prematurely.
Note
Drive chain slack should be checked and adjusted, if necessary, every 1000 km.

Lubricate every 1000 km or sooner if the chain appears dry.
Drive Chain Wear Indicator
If after adjustment of drive chain slack the double headed arrow reaches the red line on the wear indicator label, the drive chain kit has to be replaced.
Note
When a new drive chain kit is installed adjust the drive chain slack and then attach a new wear indicator label while aligning the double headed arrow with the black line on the label.
Fuel Level/ Fuel Valve
  • Ensure sufficient fuel is available in your fuel tank for your journey. Check for leaks.
  • The approximate amount of fuel quantity available in the fuel tank is indicated by the number of segments in the display/Fuel gauge meter in the console.
  • If only one segment is displayed above the red mark/If the needle reaches the red mark in the fuel gauge meter, this indicates that the fuel quantity is low and the fuel tank should be refilled as soon as possible.
The Hero MotoCorp Vehicles are categorized in to three based on the function of Fuel Valve,
  • Carburetor motorcycles (Fuel Valve)
  • Programmed FI motorcycles ( Fuel Injection )
  • Scooters ( Auto Fuel Valve)
The three-way fuel valve is on the left side of the carburetor.
OFF  - At "OFF" position fuel cannot flow from the tank to the carburetor. Turn the valve "OFF" whenever the two-wheeler is not in use.
ON - At "ON" position fuel will flow from fuel tank to the carburetor.
RES - At "RES" position fuel will flow from the reserve fuel supply to the carburetor. Use the reserve fuel only when the main supply is exhausted. Refill the tank as soon as possible after switching to "RES" position. The reserve fuel supply is specified as per our model.
Note
  • Do not operate the two-wheeler with the fuel valve in the "RES" position after refilling, you may run out of fuel, with no reserve.
  • Do not keep the fuel valve between "ON" and "OFF" position while riding, since this may drain reserve fuel from the tank.
Caution
  • Do not park the motorcycle under direct sunlight as it causes evaporation of petrol due to heat and deterioration of paint gloss due to ultra violet rays.
Warning
  • Petrol is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
  • Refill in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.
  • Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the where the petrol is refilled or where the petrol is stored.

Tyres
Tyres With Tube

 

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 conditon with adequate tread, and correctly inflated.
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.Make sure the valve stem caps are secure. If necessary, install a new cap.
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 7 foreign objects.
Look for:
  • Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or the tread. Replece the tyre if you find any bumps or bulges.
  • Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre.
  • Excessive tread wear.
Note
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 appears on the tyre. Check the tread wear indicator for tyre wear.
Unidirectional Tyres
Ensure the arrow mark 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
  • By 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 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.

 

Tubeless 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 pressure 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.
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 7 foreign objects.
Look for:
  • Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or the tread. Replece the tyre if you find any bumps or bulges.
  • Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre.
  • Excessive tread wear.
Note
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 appears on the tyre. Check the tread wear indicator for tyre wear.
Unidirectional Tyres
Ensure the arrow mark 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 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.
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 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.

 

Tube With Puncture Endurance

 

Tube with Puncture Endurance is a genuine part specially designed for the tyre of your scooter.
Features
See the following drawings for the "Tube with Puncture Endurance" structure. It has a "fluid chamber" filled with a special fluid at the ground side of the tube as shown. When a sharp object such as a nail etc. pierces into the tyre, fluid is pushed out by the air pressure plugging up the hole with the fiber in the fluid. Thus, the “Tube with Puncture Endurance” is designed to minimize air leakage.
Note
Tube with Puncture Endurance is not designed to prevent every puncture damage of the tube Use the Tube with Puncture Endurance on the scooter equipped with the genuine tyres. Note that the Tube with Puncture Endurance are available in every size, which are designated for the tyres of the corresponding size respectively. Do not use the tube in combination with the tyre of the different size.
The Tube with Puncture Endurance is structured to be tough against air leakage when a sharp object pierces into the tyre. Note that a foreign material can get stuck into the tyre no matter the tyre pressure may look to be normal. Remove the foreign material from the tyre when it is found during the daily check and repair the tube as soon as possible.
When the rim or tyre is wet with the fluid or when the tyre pressure is low, check the tyre for a foreign material and remove it. Repair the tube immediately.
The fluid can come out when removing the foreign material from the tyre. Take care not to get the fluid on you.
The damage that can be repaired is up to 3 mm in size. When the damage is larger than 3 mm, replace the tube.
When replacing the tyre, select the new tube of the same size.
Use the tube with the specified air pressure.
To check for puncture before or after repair, inflate the tube as large as the tyre inner dia meter size (i.e. to the degree that maintains the cylinder of the tube). On the fluid chamber side, this can be checked with the fluid oozing out of the chamber, excessive inflation of the tube will cause the air to enter the fluid chamber, deteriorating the puncture function. (the material of liquid: anti freeze mixture, fiber, etc)
Caution
Wash out the fluid thoroughly with water when it gets on your skin or in your eyes and get the medical attention promptly.
Damages to which Tube with Puncture Endurance is not effective:
(1) Burst
(2) Damage outside the grounding surface of the tyre (e.g. rim, sides of tyre, etc, that are not mounted with the fluid chamber)
(3) Damaged or rubbed with a rusted nail, etc.
(4) Large damage or L- shaped damage
(5) Damages resulted from neglect of the above note.
Clutch
Clutch adjustment may be required if the motorcycle stalls when shifting in to gear or tends to creep or if the clutch slips causing acceleration to lag behind engine speed.
Normal clutch lever free play is 10- 20 mm at the lever.
To adjust the free play,
  • Loosen the lock nut.
  • Turn the adjusting nut to obtain the specified free play.
  • Tighten the lock nut and check the adjustment
