VEHICLE SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your vehicle can provide many years of
service and pleasure if you take responsibility
for your own safety and understand the
challenges you can meet on the road. There is
much that you can do to protect yourself when
you ride. You will find many helpful
recommendations through out this manual.
Following are a few that we consider most
important.
Always wear a helmet
It is a proven fact, Helmets significantly
reduces the number and severity of head
injuries. So always wear a helmet and make
sure your pillion rider does the same. We also
recommend that you wear eye protection,
sturdy boots, gloves and other protective gear
(page 5).
Make yourself easily visible
Some drivers do not see vehicles because they
are not looking for them. To make yourself
more visible, wear bright reflective clothing,
position yourself so that others can see you,
signal before turning or changing lanes, and
use horn which will help others to notice you.
Ride within your limits
Pushing the limits is another major cause of
vehicle accidents. Never ride beyond your
personal abilities or faster than conditions
demand. Remember that alcohol, drugs,
fatigue and inattention can significantly
reduce your ability to make good judgements
and ride safely.
Keep your vehicle in safe condition
For safe riding, its important to inspect your
vehicle before every ride and perform all
recommended maintenance. Never exceed
load limits, and only use accessories that have
been approved by Hero MotoCorp for this
vehicle. See (pages 7) for more details.
4
NOTE
To make yourself more visible, wear bright
reflective clothing that fits well.

PROTECTIVE APPAREL
For your safety, we strongly recommend that
you always wear a helmet which should
conform as per your country standards, in
addition to eye protection, boots, gloves, long
pants and a long sleeve shirt or jacket
whenever you ride. Take care of loose/
hanging clothes while solo/pillion riding.
Although complete protection is not possible,
wearing proper gear can reduce the chance of
injury when you ride. Following are
suggestions to help you choose proper riding
gear.
Helmets and eye protection
Your Helmet is your most important piece of
riding gear because it offers the best
protection against head injuries. A helmet
should fit your head comfortably and securely.
A bright coloured helmet can make you more
noticeable in traffic, as can reflective strips.
An open-face helmet offers some protection,
but a full-face helmet offers more. Always
were face shield or goggles to protect your
eyes and help your vision.
Additional riding gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we
also recommend:
ŸSturdy boots with non-slip soles to help
protect your feet and ankles.
ŸLeather gloves to keep your hands warm
and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns, and
bruises.
ŸA two wheeler riding suit or jacket for
comfort as well as protection. Bright
coloured reflective clothing can help make
you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure to
avoid loose clothes that could get caught on
any part of your vehicle.
5
WARNING
!!
ŸNot wearing a helmet increases the chance
of serious injury or death in a crash.
ŸBe sure you and your passenger always wear
a helmet, eye protection and other rotective
apparel when you ride.

PROTECTIVE APPAREL
Always wear HELMET
Wear bright or reflective
clothing
Wear a face shield or goggles
Wear gloves
Shoes should be close fitting, low heels
and offer ankle protection

LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES
Your vehicle has been designed to carry you,
one pillion and limited amount of cargo. When
you add cargo or carry a passenger, you may
feel some difference during acceleration and
braking. But so long as you keep your vehicle
well maintained, with good tyres and brakes,
you can safely carry loads within the limits and
guidelines.
However exceeding the weight limit
or carrying an unbalanced load can seriously
affect your vehicle's handling, braking and
stability. Non Hero MotoCorp accessories,
modifications, and poor maintenance can
reduce your safety margin.
The following pages give more specific
information on loading, accessories and
modifications.
Loading
How much weight you put on your vehicle,
and how you load it, are important to your
safety. Anytime you ride with a pillion or cargo
you should be aware of the following
information.
Putting too much weight in individual storage
compartments can also affect stability and
handling. So be sure to stay within the limits
given below:
Maximum weight:
Center compartment : 10 kg
Front inner box : 1.5 kg
Luggage hook : 1.5 kg
Load limits
Following are the load limits for your vehicle:

Improperly loading your vehicle can affect its
stability and handling. Even if your vehicle is

the vehicle as possible.
ŸBalance cargo weight evenly on both sides.

ŸMake sure the accessories does not obstruct
any lamps, reduce ground clearance and
banking angle, limit suspension travel or
steering travel, alter your riding position or
interfere with operating any controls.
ŸBe sure electrical equipment does not
exceed the vehicle's electrical system
capacity (page 3). A blown fuse can cause
loss of lights.
ŸDo not pull a trailer or sidecar with your
vehicle. This vehicle is not designed for
these attachments, and their use can
seriously impair your vehicle handling.
Modifications

original equipment or modify your vehicle in
any way that would change its design or
operation. Such changes could seriously
impair your vehicle's handling, stability and
braking, making it unsafe to ride.
