In case you wish to have the fuel efficiency tested, please visit the nearest |Authorised Hero MotoCorp workshop and ask for a fuel efficiency test (KPL Test) done. Make any adjustments that are found necessary.

For Petrol Engine two/ three wheelers the current regulation requirement as follows:-

  • Idle CO (Carbon Monoxide)% = 3.0 % (Max.)
  • HC (Hydro carbon) ppm = 3000 ppm (Max.)

Vehicles which do not undergo a periodic maintenance are liable to emit exhaust gases more than the permissible limit.

Few Important tips to maintain low emission levels:-

  • Clean spark plug and maintain specified gap between electrodes.
  • keep the air filter clean.
  • Get the carburetor tuned at authorized Hero MotoCorp Workshop.
  • Do not overfill the engine oil and follow the replacement schedule.
  • Avoid use of adulterated fuel.
  • You should get the emission level certified once every 3 months at any of the authorized emission checking centres.

In order to check the level of the engine oil, the vehicle should be on main stand. Check the engine oil level using the dipstick. The engine oil level should be maintained between the upper and the lower level marks of the dipstick. In case it is needed, top up the engine oil up to the upper level on the dipstick.

Replace the engine oil if it is due for replacement

Battery Maintenance

Your motorcycle battery needs periodical maintenance to ensure a long and trouble free life. Do the following checks at regular intervals for a reliable battery performance.

Check the electrolyte level against the top and bottom markings on the battery shell. Always top up with distilled water whenever required.

Check for any leakage from battery. It should be clean and free from any leakages. In case of non use of motorcycle, battery should be kept fully charged and electrolyte level should be at Top mark.
