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

Starting the engine

Turn the fuel cock lever to the ‘ON’ or ‘RESERVE’

position based on the availability of fuel in the tank.

Insert the control key into the ignition cum steering

lock and turn it to the ‘ON’ position.

Keep the transmission in neutral and press the

electric starter switch* to start the engine electrically

or kick start.

When the engine is cold

q Pull the choke lever and start the engine using

with no opening / very less opening of throttle.

q Once the engine is started and running stable,

release the choke lever and ride the vehicle (when

the engine is warm / hot do not use choke).

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.

Do not run the engine indoors where little or no ventilation

available. Exhaust gases are extremely poisonous.

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.

3. Turn the ignition ‘OFF’.

4. Park the vehicle on a firm, flat surface.

5. 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 Distributor or Dealer / Authorised Service

Centers for usage.

Reduce speed to a safe limit before turning / cornering. Do

not apply brake while turning / cornering. Do not

disengage clutch before braking.

Use fuel additives in petrol as recommended by the

respective manufacturer for low carbon deposition.

Never mix oil with petrol in the fuel tank. Always fill fuel

from the reputed and reliable fuel stations.

WARNING

CAUTION

NOTE

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

Distributor or Dealer / Authorised Service Centers.

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.

CHECKS AND TIPS FOR IMPROVING FUEL

ECONOMY

Regular checks

Carry out the periodic maintenance checks as

specified in this manual (page no. 32 and 33).

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 gap 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.

Never drive the vehicle with half clutch. This will reduce the

life of clutch and affects the performance of the vehicle and

fuel economy.

RIDING YOUR TVS METRO PLUS

CAUTION

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 h a ve incr e ased ev a poration 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 fuel

loss and safety problems.

Tyres

Low tyre pressure has adverse effect on the vehicle.

The drag on the vehicle increases resulting in

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. 44). Never use tyres which are worn beyond the

permissible limit.

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.
