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. Maximum 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 500 ~ 750 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

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 StaR City+
Riding skill and your mechanical knowledge form the foundation of safe riding practices. We suggest you to
practice riding TVS StaR City+ 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.
Warning
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 ISI approved helmet. You should also have good suitable eye
protection.
SAFE RIDING TIPS
SAFE RIDING TIPS

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.
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.
SAFE RIDING TIPS
SAFE RIDING TIPS
Warning
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.
Do not downshift the gear in the midst of
cornering. 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.

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.
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.
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.
SAFE RIDING TIPS
SAFE RIDING TIPS
Warning
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.

ACCESSORY INSTALLATION AND
SAFETY TIPS
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 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
Main Dealer or 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 or Authorised
Dealer so that the emission and fuel consumption
levels are maintained as per norms.
