Running-in Recommendations
Running-in is essential to preserve engine life and performance over time. Twisty roads and gradients are ideal to run
in the engine, brakes and suspension effectively. The first 1000 km is a running-in period for your motorcycle.
Maximum engine speed during running-in 0 to 1000 km - below 7000 rpm
During the first 1000 km, avoid the full throttle starts and rapid acceleration, which could expose the engine parts to
excessive stress. It is advisable to run the engine at varying load and rpm, though still within recommended rpm limit.
Avoid riding at constant engine rpm for prolonged periods.
During initial running, use brakes gently. Do not brake hard or keep brake applied for too long to enable a correct
break-in of brake pad friction material against the brake discs.
To allow all the mechanical parts of motorcycle to adapt each another, and to avoid reduction of engine components
life, it is advisable to avoid sudden acceleration and running the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill.
Check the drive chain frequently and if required adjust it. Also ensure that the chain is lubricated as required to
increase its service life.
RUNNING-IN INFORMATION
On completion of running -in period, scheduled maintenance service should be observed carefully without fail. Failure to
comply with this will result in damage to the engine parts and other key parts of the vehicle or shorter engine life.
Keeping to the running-in recommendations will ensures longer engine life and reduce the need for overhauls and re-tuning.

SAFE RIDING TIPS
Safe Riding Recommendations
The following points are applicable for every day
usage of your motorcycle and should be observed
carefully for safe riding of your motorcycle.
Riding skills and your mechanical knowledge forms
the foundation of safe riding practices. We suggest
you to practice riding your TVS Apache RR 310 in a
low-traffic condition until you are thoroughly familiar
with your motorcycle and its controls.
Most of the accidents are the result of inexperience
of rider. Always make sure you are carrying your
driving license with you; you must have a valid
license that enables you to ride a motorcycle of this
kind. Avoid lending your motorcycle to the persons
who are inexperienced and not holding a valid driving
license.
A motorcycle is not designed to provide impact
protection, so defensive riding in addition to wearing
of protective apparel is very important.
Please do not let the protective apparels give you a
false sense of security.
Both the rider and the pillion should always wear an
ISI approved, comfortable and good quality safety
helmet before riding the vehicle. Because, one of the
most serious injury that can happen is an head injury.
You should also have a good quality goggles to
protect your eyes and help your vision.
Avoid wearing loose clothes or accessories that
could become tangled in the controls or limit your
field of vision.
Riding at proper speed and avoiding sudden
acceleration are not only important for safety and low
fuel consumption. It is also important for longer life of
vehicle and smoother operation.
Avoid use of mobile phones while riding as it could
lead to fatal accident.
To prevent or minimise accident, never consume
alcohol or drugs before or during the operation of
your vehicle. Even minimal consumption of these will
affect the rider’s ability to control the vehicle.
Ride within the law and observe national and local
rules. Always respect speed limits. However, adjust
your speed according to the visibility, road and traffic
conditions.

Be sure about your visibility and do not ride with the
blind spot of vehicles or obstruction ahead you.
Take additional care at road junctions, exits of private
land, car parks and on the service roads to highways.
Before changing the lanes or take a turn, look over
your shoulder and make sure that your way is clear.
Do not completely rely on the rear view mirrors; you
may misjudge a vehicle’s distance and speed, or you
may not see is at all.
Always use turn signal lamps when you intend to
change lanes or take a turn. Be sure to switch it off
after changing the lane or negotiating the corner.
The rider should keep his/her foot on the footrests
while riding the motorcycle.
Always hold the handlebars firmly with both hands in
order to be ready for sudden changes of direction or
in the road surface.
Under no circumstances should both the hands be
removed from the handle bar, as it is very dangerous.
While riding in wet conditions, on loose gravels, the
ability to maneuver the vehicle will be reduced. Ride
smoothly on this conditions. Sudden acceleration,
braking or turning may cause loss of control.
On the wet roads, rely more on the throttle to control
vehicle speed and less on the front and rear brakes.
Use the throttle judiciously to avoid skidding the rear
wheel from too rapid acceleration or deceleration.
On the rough roads, exercise caution, slow down and
grip the fuel tank with your knees for better stability.
To get quick acceleration during overtakes, shift to a
lower gear to obtain the necessary power.
Do not downshift the gear abruptly at high rpm to
avoid damage to the engine due to overreving.
Avoid unnecessary weaving for the safety of both the
rider and other motorists.
While riding on uphill, shift to a lower gears so
that there is plenty of power to spare rather than
overloading the engine.
Do not downshift the gears in the midst of cornering.
Slow down to a safe speed before negotiating a
corner.
Hold the vehicle upright as you apply the brake.
Progressive application of brake is safer. Never
depress the clutch lever while braking at higher
speeds.

4
Riding down hills, while cornering, close throttle and
down shift the gear to take advantage of gear box and
engine which acts as additional brake. This will avoid
loss of control over the vehicle due to over speed.
As the vehicle speed increases, the stopping
distance also increases. Progressive application of
brake is safer.
Fuel (petrol) is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated
area with engine stopped and ignition key turned off.
Do not smoke or use cell phones or allow open
flame or sparks when re-fueling or servicing the fuel
system.
While re-fueling, there may be a chance of fuel drops
getting spilled on your skin or cloths. Wash your skin
with soap or change your cloths immediately if you
come in contact with the fuel.
Always take out the key when you leave your
motorcycle unattended.
Do not park the vehicle on a uneven surface or a
slope or a soft ground or else the vehicle may fall.
The exhaust system becomes hot after a run even if
the engine is turned ‘OFF’. Care should be taken not
to touch the exhaust system with any part of your
body. Park the vehicle in a place where pedestrians
or children are not likely to touch the vehicle. Do not
park the motorcycle near inflammable material like
wood, dry leaves etc.
This vehicle is designed for use only on streets and other
smooth, paved surfaces. Do not use this motorcycle on
unpaved surfaces. Such use could lead to skid or other
accident.
Do not ride the motorcycle with helmets attached to the
hook; the helmets could cause an accident by distracting
the rider or interfering with normal vehicle operation.
Warning

Riding the Vehicle with Maximum Permissible
Load
Your motorcycle is designed to travel safely over long
distances with maximum permissible load. Even
weight distribution of loads is critical for preserving
the safety features of the vehicle and to avoid trouble
when performing sudden maneuvers. Ensure front
and rear suspension spring preload and damping
settings are suitable, for different loading conditions
(ref. page 118).
Information on Maximum Load
The total weight of the motorcycle during running
including rider, pillion, luggage and additional
accessories should not exceed:
299.5 kg.
Arrange your luggage and other accessories in the
lowest possible portion (should not affect the ground
clearance) and close to the centre of the motorcycle.
Secure your luggage firmly with the motorcycle.
Improperly secured luggage may affect the stability.
Never attach bulky or heavy objects to the steering
head or front mudguard, as this can cause dangerous
instability.
Do not insert any material into the gaps of the frame,
where they could interfere with the moving parts.
Ensure that the tyres are inflated to the specified
pressure (ref. page 135) and they are in good
condition.
Incorrect setting of front and rear suspension
preload and damping, may lead to loss of stability
and control, leading to an accident.
Caution

ACCESSORY INSTALLATION TIPS
Use only TVS Motor Company Limited approved
accessories.
Take extreme caution while selecting and installing
the accessories for your motorcycle.
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 should not obstruct lighting, steering,
suspension and ground clearance.
Additional electrical equipments and controls should
not exceed the specified electrical system load of the
vehicle (capacity of battery and magneto).
Do not change / add any lighting loads. Use only
accessories listed by TVS Motor Company Limited.
This motorcycle was not intended to be equipped with a
sidecar or to be used to tow any trailer or other vehicle.
TVS Motor Company Limited does not produce any of
those things and not sure about the effects of those
accessories on handling or stability. But we can warn
that the effects will be adverse and any damage caused
to motorcycle and its components by the use of such
accessories will not be covered under warranty.
Caution
Care should taken not to damage the wiring harness of
the vehicle to fit additional electrical accessories; which
in-turn affects the ‘CAN bus’ system of the vehicle.
Caution

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
Your motorcycle is fitted with an Anti-lock braking system (ABS) which is designed to prevent skidding and help riders
to maintain steering control during emergency-stopping situation in dry or wet roads, loose gravels etc.
How does ABS work?
When a rider applies the brakes continuously as he detects a dangerous obstacle in dry or wet roads, loose gravels
etc. thus transmitting excessive brake force to the wheel. This excessive force may cause the wheel to stop spinning
and leads to loss of grip. With no firm contact between the tire’s contact patch and the road surface, the bike
becomes unstable and a crash is imminent.
The slipping wheels on a riding surface results in losing control of whole motorcycle which usually occurs in fraction
of a second. Restoring traction while keeping the bike balanced is only a result of luck, or extreme training, as is
the case of professional stunt riders who drift. Preventing the wheels from slipping due to excessive braking force
compensates losing control and help the rider to maneuver the vehicle and to avoid accidents.
So what the ABS does is actually limiting the braking force exerted by the rider by regulating the brake pressure
and keep the wheel spinning. Once the imminence of the locking (and therefore skidding) is avoided, the system
re-applies the maximum braking force until the next skid is anticipated. By limiting the max force of the braking
maneuver, the ABS systems practically allow riders to use the greatest stopping force possible without locking the
wheels.
How does the ABS understands the wheel locking?
The ABS uses continuous wheel speed monitoring system; wheel speed sensors and toner rings (pulsar rings) and a
Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU).
During normal operation the ABS works similar to a normal brake, but functions only when the wheel tends to lock
up. The speed sensors fitted on both the wheels measures the rotational speed of the wheel, when the wheel speed
reduces rapidly i.e. wheel tends to lock, the HECU modulates the pressure in the brake circuit and thereby prevents
the wheel from locking.
