The on-road mileage of TVS NTORQ 125 is dependent on
several factors like road condition, quality of fuel, riding
speed, operation of throttle and brake, tyre inflation,
maintenance / timely servicing of vehicle, load etc.. and
hence will differ from the mileage given under standard
test conditions such as made in recognised institute like
ARAI / ICAT.
Regularly inspect the engine oil and the
transmission oil for correct level and top-up if
necessary. Get it replaced at regular intervals as
per the maintenance schedule.
Fuel leak
Inspect and arrest fuel leaks if any from tank,
carburettor and fuel lines. Loss of fuel due to leak
may drain the fuel tank completely.
Evaporation
Vehicle parked in the hot sun leads to wastage of fuel
through evaporation. Also, lower fuel levels in the tank
will have increased evaporation and condensation of
moisture inside.
Ensure to close fuel tank cap after every filling. If
the fuel tank cap kept open for long time, it leads to
safety and fuel loss.
Tyres
Low tyre pressure has adverse effect on the vehicle.
The drag on the vehicle increases resulting
decreased fuel economy. Further more, handling may
be adversely affected.
Inspect the tyre pressure regularly (weekly) and
inflate it to the recommended pressure (refer page
no. 63). Never use tyres which are worn beyond
the permissible limit.
Wheel freeness
Inspect and ensure the wheel freeness by rotating
the wheel at least once in a week to avoid wastage
of fuel.
Avoid unnecessary idling
While waiting for someone or stopping in signals for
long time, if the engine is kept running at idle speed,
it causes unnecessary wastage of fuel.
Avoid frequent braking
Anticipate corners and slopes as well as the traffic
conditions. Unnecessary and frequent braking will
reduce the fuel economy. Never accelerate and
apply brake simultaneously. It leads clutch shoes
wear and wastage of fuel.
