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 Raider 125
Riding skill and your mechanical knowledge form the foundation of safe riding practices. We suggest you to practice
riding TVS Raider 125 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
to 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, chain 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 Raider 125, 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. Be 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 may required early replacement than the mentioned kilometers to avoid costly
