SAFE RIDING TIPS
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 JUPITER
Riding skill and your mechanical knowledge form the
foundation of safe riding practices. We suggest you to
practice riding TVS JUPITER 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 the limits will help
you avoid accidents.
POSTURE
Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture.
1. Keep your elbows inside close to the body and flexible.
2. Hold your arms at an angle of about 120°.
3. Hips should be in a position so that arms and shoulders
are relaxed.
4. Look widely instead of gazing at one point.
5. Relax to guard against a sudden impact.
6. Point the toes straight ahead.
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 good quality helmet. You should also have good
suitable eye protection.
One-hand riding is dangerous. Keep both hands firmly on the
handle bar and both feet securely on the floor board. 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.
WARNING
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 radius of the corner.
During cornering, reduce speed so as to lessen the effects of
SAFE RIDING TIPS
9
SAFE RIDING TIPS
centrifugal force. By all means, avoid abrupt application of
brake or sudden steering.
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.
WARNING
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION AND SAFETY TIPS
Use extreme caution while selecting and installing the
accessories for your scooter.
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
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.
WARNING
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. Apply both the brake.
5. Riding down hills, while cornering and wet roads close
throttle and come to a slower speed to avoid the loss of
control over the vehicle due to skidding.
Causes for poor braking
1. If the brake shoes or drum 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 40% braking effect is from front brake.
Non-usage of front brake causes poor braking.
SAFE RIDING TIPS
10
SAFE RIDING TIPS
should not obstruct lighting, steerability, suspension level
and ground clearance.
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 Distributor or Dealer /
Authorised Service Centres.
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 scooter in good condition by
getting it periodically checked and serviced by TVS Motor
Company Authorised Distributor or Dealer / Authorised
Service Centres so that the emission and fuel consumption
levels are maintained as per norms.
Get your vehicle certified by the Government authorised
emission testing stations at specified intervals.

STARTING THE ENGINE
Ensure availability of fuel in the fuel tank. Insert the control
key into the ignition switch cum steering lock and turn it to
the ‘ON’ position. Apply any one of the brakes and press the
electric starter switch to start electrically or kick start the
engine.
When the engine is cold
r
Pull the choke knob to fully and start the engine using
kick starter with no opening / very less opening of
throttle.
r
Once the engine is started and running stable, release
the choke by pushing choke knob to its original
position and ride the vehicle (when the engine is worm
/ hot do not use choke).
SETTING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION
1. Twist the throttle grip towards you and simultaneously
release the brake lever gently and smoothly. The vehicle
will start moving forward.
2. As the vehicle picks up speed, increase the throttle
slowly.
STOPPING AND PARKING
1. Close the throttle completely and apply both the brakes
simultaneously.
2. Turn the ignition ‘OFF’.
3. Park the vehicle on a firm, flat surface.
4. Lock the steering and take out the control key. Finally
close the safety key shutter lock.
Do not run the engine in indoors where little or no ventilation
available. Exhaust gas is extremely poisonous.
Do not raise the throttle rapidly so the vehicle will move forward
suddenly and lead to loss of control.
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 the engine and damage to internal
components.

28
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.
CHECKS AND TIPS FOR IMPROVING FUEL ECONOMY
Regular checks
Carry out the periodic maintenance checks as specified in
this manual. (pages 32 to 34)
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
Never mix oil in petrol in the fuel tank. Always fill fuel from the
reputed and reliable fuel stations.
Use fuel additives in petrol as recommended by the respective
manufacturer for low carbon deposition.
NOTE
CAUTION
RIDING YOUR TVS JUPITER
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 restricts airflow and increases fuel
consumption. Replace the air cleaner element every 12000
kms. Since viscous filter is used in your scooter it is not
recommended to clean the filter. Replace the filter incase of
any abnormalities.
Engine oil and Transmission oil
Dirty or less engine oil increases friction between various
parts of engine and reduce the engine life, thereby increases
the fuel consumption.
Running with low transmission oil will cause damage to the
gears and bearings.
Regularly inspect engine oil and transmission oil for correct
level and top-up if necessary. Get it replaced at regular
intervals as per the maintenance schedule.
Fuel leak
Inspect and arrest fuel leaks if any from tank, carburettor
and fuel lines. Loss of fuel due to leak may drain the fuel tank
completely.
RIDING YOUR TVS JUPITER
29
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.
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
hazard to safety also.
Tyres
Low tyre pressure has adverse effect on a 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 42). Never use tyres,
which are worn beyond the permissible limit.
Wheel freeness
Inspect and ensure the wheel freeness by rotating the wheel
at least once in a week to avoid wastage of fuel.
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. Never accelerate and apply brake
simultaneously. It leads clutch shoes wear and wastage of
fuel.

The maintenance schedule indicates the intervals between periodic services. At the end of each interval, be sure 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 such 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 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 Company Authorised Distributor or Dealer / Authorised Service Centres.
Periodic inspections may reveal one or more parts that may need replacement. Whenever replacing parts on TVS JUPITER, it is
recommended that you use only the TVS Motor Company Genuine parts.
Proper running-in and maintenance are mandatory for ensure certain activities 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 cleaner element may required early replacement than the mentioned kilometers to avoid costly damage to the
engine.

Check 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 decrease the tyre contact with the ground
which can lead to skidding and loss of control.
Be sure that the tyre pressure is within the specified limits at
all times.
Tyre pressure in cold condition:
