road users. These precautions are:

riding TVS Jupiter ZX in a low-traffic condition until you are thoroughly familiar with your vehicle and its controls.

Loose, fancy clothing can be uncomfortable and unsafe when riding a two-wheeler. Choose good quality two wheeler
riding apparel.

Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Knowing these limits and staying within them will help you
avoid accidents.

Warning
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 ISI approved helmet that should fit your head comfortably and securely. You should also have
good quality goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The maintenance schedule indicates the intervals between periodic services. At the end of each interval, be sure
to inspect, check, replace, adjust, lubricate and service as instructed. If the maintenance is not done periodically, it
will result in rapid wear and severe damage to the vehicle. If the vehicle is used under high stress conditions such
as continuous full throttle operation or if used / operated in dusty climate, certain jobs should be performed more
often to ensure reliability of the vehicle. Cylinder head, steering components, suspension and wheel components
etc., are key items and require very special and careful servicing. TVS Motor Company Limited strongly recommends
that the jobs as per the maintenance schedule be performed by your TVS Motor Company Authorised Main Dealer /
Authorised Dealer.
Periodic inspections may reveal one or more parts that may need replacement. Whenever replacing parts on TVS
Jupiter ZX, it is recommended that you use only the TVS Motor Company Genuine parts.

Caution
Proper running-in and maintenance are mandatory for making certain that your vehicle is reliable and gives optimum
performance at all times. Make sure that the periodic maintenance is performed thoroughly in accordance with the
instructions given in this owner’s manual.
In more dusty areas, the air filter element required early replacement than the mentioned kilometers to avoid costly damages

REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS
TVS Jupiter ZX is provided with 3 step adjustable
rear shock absorbers to meet different road and load.
There are 3 notches for adjusting spring load.
If the spring is adjusted to the minimum notch, then
the shock absorber will be softer which is good for
light loads. If the spring is adjusted to maximum
notch, then it will be stiffer which is good for heavy
loads.

HARD SOFT

Adjust the spring pre-load by shifting the adjuster


to the required notch according to the different load
conditions. The more you compress the spring, the
suspension becomes more stiff.

Even though, if there is need of tyre removal, it is
strongly recommended to use a tyre removal /

If at all, tyre levers needs to be used, the levers
should be free from sharp edges. Care should be
taken not to damage the tyres and rims.

Warning
The tyre inflation pressure in cold condition and the
tyre tread condition are extremely important for the
performance and safety of the rider. Check the tyres
frequently for inflation pressure as well as the wear
pattern on it.
Use of a tyre other than the standard may cause
instability.

Caution
The side walls of the tubeless tyre which in contact with
