General Tips For Maximizing Fuel Efficiency :
While your Centuro has been designed to give maximum fuel efficiency of its
specifications, it is important to understand that fuel efficiency is affected by several
extraneous factors i.e. rider usage habits, road conditions, traffic, wind flow etc.

Different tyre pressures are recommended for single seat and double seat. Observe
them carefully. (Page No. 24)
lFront and Rear brakes should have the right amount of free play.
lEngine oil should be changed religiously as recommended in the maintenance
schedule.
lAlways use choke for cold start.
lTotal weight on the two wheeler makes a big difference to mileage, avoid
overloading.
lWhile filling the tank to full fill in the morning as petrol expands during the day as
atmospheric temp. increase & may spill.
lKeep your two wheeler clean and dust free.
lDo not fill fuel to the brim of the tank as there can be spillage and petrol can expand
and overflow.
lFill petrol from busy and well known petrol stations where quality and quantity are
assured.
lDo not rev the engine, unnecessarily.
lTry and avoid congested roads as far as possible, even if it means you have to take a
slightly longer route.
