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 JUPITER
Riding skill and your mechanical knowledge form the
foundation of safe riding practices. We suggest you to
practice riding TVS JUPITER 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 the limits will help
you avoid accidents.
POSTURE
Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture.
1. Keep your elbows inside close to the body 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. Point the toes straight ahead.
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 good quality helmet. You should also have good
suitable eye protection.
One-hand riding is dangerous. Keep both hands firmly on the
handle bar and both feet securely on the floor board. 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.
WARNING
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 radius of the corner.
During cornering, reduce speed so as to lessen the effects of

SAFE RIDING TIPS

SAFE RIDING TIPS
centrifugal force. By all means, avoid abrupt application of
brake or sudden steering.
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
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION AND SAFETY TIPS
Use extreme caution while selecting and installing the
accessories for your scooter.
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
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
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. Apply both the brake.
5. Riding down hills, while cornering and wet roads close
throttle and come to a slower speed to avoid the loss of
control over the vehicle due to skidding.
Causes for poor braking
1. If the brake shoes or drum 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 40% braking effect is from front brake.
Non-usage of front brake causes poor braking.

SAFE RIDING TIPS

SAFE RIDING TIPS
should not obstruct lighting, steerability, 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 Centres.
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 scooter in good condition by
getting it periodically checked and serviced by TVS Motor
Company Authorised Distributor or Dealer / Authorised
Service Centres so that the emission and fuel consumption
levels are maintained as per norms.
Get your vehicle certified by the Government authorised
emission testing stations at specified intervals.
