The first 1000 km is a crucial part of your motorcycle. Proper running-in operation during this period helps in ensuring
a maximum life and smooth performance of your motorcycle.
The reliability and performance of your motorcycle depends on the special care and restrain exercised during the
running-in period. It is especially important that you avoid operating the engine in high speed (RPM), which could
expose the engine parts to excessive stress. Recommended speed during the running-in is:
Maximum 50 kmph speed upto 1000 km (vary the engine speed for better mating of parts).
The first free service at 750 ~ 1000 km is most important. During running-in period all the engine components and
other parts will have set in. All adjustments to be restored, all fasteners to be tightened. Engine cum transmission oil
to be replaced. Timely performance of the first free service will ensure optimum service life and performance from
the engine.
RUNNING-IN INFORMATION
Replacing the engine cum transmission oil during first free service is most important for better life of engine. Always use
TVS TRU4 PREMIUM oil (SAE 10W30 API-SL JASO MA2) for better performance and life.
Since your motorcycle is fitted with Evaporative Emission Control System, the motorcycle should not be laid on the floor
during water wash. Else it may lead to difficulty in starting and improper running of the motorcycle.

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 Raider 125
Riding skill and your mechanical knowledge form the foundation of safe riding practices. We suggest you to practice
riding TVS Raider 125 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 them will help you
to avoid accidents.
Two wheeler safety starts with wearing a good quality helmet. One of the most serious injuries that can happen is a
head injury. Always wear an ISI approved helmet that should fit your head comfortably and securely. You should also have
good quality goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
To prevent or minimize 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.
Warning

10
Posture
Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture.
1. Sit erect on the seat at the position which you
feel most comfortable.
2. Keep your arms relaxed to give extra cushion for
body on uneven road surfaces.
3. Keep right arm and foot close to the brake lever
and pedal, so as to enable fast action during panic
braking.
4. Look widely instead of gazing at one point.
One-hand riding is dangerous. Keep both hands firmly
on the handle bar and both feet securely on the foot
rest. 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.
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
5. Alter your sitting location / posture slightly at
intervals during long rides. This will reduce
fatigue.
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 the radius of the corner.
During cornering, reduce speed so as to lessen the
effects of centrifugal force. By all means, avoid abrupt
application of brake or sudden steering.
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. Never depress the clutch lever while braking at
higher speeds.
5. Apply both the brakes. ‘SBT’ provides
additional braking even when ‘Only Rear
brake’ is applied, But applying ‘Both the
brakes’ helps you use the full potential of the
brakes.

11
6. Riding down hills, while cornering and wet roads,
close the throttle and down shift the gear to take
advantage of gearbox and engine which acts as
an additional brake. This will avoid the loss of
control over the vehicle due to over speed.
Causes for poor braking
1. If the brake shoes / pads or drum / disc are worn
out or if there is water or oil on them, sufficient
friction does not develop and brakes do not work
well.
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
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 60% braking effect is from front
brake. Non-usage of front brake causes poor
braking.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION AND SAFETYTIPS
Use 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,
steerability, suspension level and ground
clearance. Please ensure that, if the tank cover is
used, it is not getting en-trapped between fuel tank
and fuel tank cap.
Additional electrical equipment is not acceptable
as it will void the warranty terms of the vehicle.

12
EMISSION CONTROL
All the TVS vehicles are tested in the factory for
optimum fuel efficiency and CO levels. If the vehicle
needs any adjustments, please consult nearest TVS
Motor Company Authorised Main Dealer / Authorised
Dealer.
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
motorcycle in good condition by getting it periodically
checked and serviced by TVS Motor Company
Authorised Main Dealer / Authorised Dealer so
that the emission and fuel consumption levels are
maintained as per norms.
Crankcase emission control system
The engine of TVS Raider 125 is equipped with a
closed crankcase system to prevent discharging
crankcase emissions into the atmosphere. Blow-by
gas is returned to the combustion chamber through
the air cleaner.
Evaporative Emission Control System
The TVS Raider 125 is equipped with an evaporative
emission control system which consists of a canister
and associated piping. This system prevents the
escape of fuel vapors from the fuel tank.
If there is any abnormal jerk, startability issue are felt in
the vehicle or noise due to sudden escape of gas during
opening of fuel tank cap, immediately report to the TVS
Motor Company Authorised Main Dealer / Authorised
Dealer.
Warning
Your vehicle is tested and certified for emission which
meets BS VI emission norms and is valid for initial 12
months from the date of purchase. Get your vehicle
certified by the Government authorised emission
testing station after initial 12 months of usage. And
ensure to get the vehicle certified on expiry of the
certificate obtained.
