The first 1000 km is a crucial part for the life 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 restraint 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 service at 750 ~ 1000 km is most important. During running-in period all the engine components and other parts will set
in. All adjustments to be restored, all fasteners to be tightened. Engine and transmission oil to be replaced. Timely performance
of the first service will ensure optimum service life and performance from the engine.
Replacing the engine and transmission oil during first service is most important for better life of engine. Always use TVS TRU4
FULLY SYNTHETIC ( SAE 10W30 API SL JASO MA2) or TVS TRU4 PREMIUM (SAE 10W30 API SL JASO MA2) for better
performance and life.
RUNNING-IN INFORMATION
Caution
01

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 good quality 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.
SAFE RIDING RECOMMENDATIONS
Any two wheeler riding requires some precautions to be taken to ensure the safety of the rider, pillion rider and other
road users. These precautions are:
Familiarise yourself with new TVS STRYKER 3V
Riding skill and your mechanical knowledge forms the foundation of safe riding practices. We suggest you to practice
riding TVS STRYKER 3V 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 avoid
accidents.
SAFE RIDING TIPS
Warning
02

Posture
Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture.
1. Keep your elbows relaxed and flexible.
2. Hold your arms at an angle of about 120°.
3. Hips should be in a position so that arms and
shoulders are relaxed.
4. Look widely instead of gazing at one point.
5. Relax to guard against a sudden impact.
6. Hold the tank tightly with knees.
7. Point the toes straight ahead.
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 reduce the
effects of centrifugal force. Avoid abrupt application of
brake or sudden steering by all means.
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.

SAFE RIDING TIPS

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.
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 brakes 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 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.
SAFE RIDING TIPS
04
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. Avoid directing the water jet
directly towards brake drum/disc pads during water
wash.
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

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
unsaf e ope rating conditions. Your friendly
Distributor / 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 level and ground clearance.
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 Distributor
or Dealer / Authorised Service Center.
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 Distributor / Dealer or
Authorised Service Centers so that the emission
and fuel consumption levels are maintained as per
norms.
