Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

I have been driving an activa delux and a unicorn being fan of hondas smooth engines i doubted TVS Jupiter but the time i drove it for a short ride it was even smoother n more pick up than activa, comfy seat, light handling,OUTSIDE FUEL CAP, SPECIALLY MATTE COLOURS thats a true competitor n threat to Activas

Thibgs i wish had OPENING OF FUEL CAP without removing key from ignition may be just twist other way

I must mention another surprise was TVS WEGO best pick up in scooters yes even more than jupiter (at least i felt that way )

I just took drives of scooters as my Brother in law needed to buy a new one and i thought this experience might be considered by prospective buyers

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

I was in the TVS showroom couple of days back and noticed a new sticker which mainly saying as ''1 hour Express service'' promise..

See here:



1 hour service is very good for those who want the vehicle urgently or no time to come back again...!!

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

I get what your saying too sir thanks

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

I understand what you are trying to say. But what I am trying to say is, if you want something more, get something bigger.. a test ride would have helped you choose before your purchase

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Meawhile, completed 5th free servicing at 12000 kms. Here they change the kit(air filter, spark plug and some bearings), which cost 320₹ extra along the ₹ 240 for the oil.
The front fairing was broken in an accident. Was replaced for ₹ 1040.
PS: Scooters are much safer than bikes during head on collision.

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Sorry mate wasnt complaining about it, i wanted this scooter so i bought it. I just wanted to know if thers is a way to improve it nothing else.

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Why do people buy a bike or scooter and cry out saying it isn't going above so and so speed? Come on mate.. Anything above 80 kmph on a scoot is very dangerous and unsafe.. This is the fact.. if you want something that will go above 80 kmph, go for a 150 cc bike.. why a scooter?

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

:/ I wish. Isnt ther any mod that can be done to a scoot?

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Get a Race Bred Donkey

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

No expectations here sir! I want to make the donkey a race donkey!

Re: TVS Jupiter - What mods?

You get a donkey and expect it to perform like a pedigree race horse! Why!

TVS Jupiter - What mods?



Hey!
Hari here from Goa,
I am a Car guy and a Bike lover. i own a TVS Jupiter which is 5 months old and has clocked 5k kms on ODO. Im a fan of cars that are fast and have precise handling. The Jupiter isnt quite the joyride interms of Top speed but sprints to 75-80kmph is quick! How can i get over those digits? If someone could suggest minor/major mods that can be done to improve Fueling, Handling, and also any lighting upgrades !

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Thank you Vinod.

Covered 716 KMs and completed first service. Was charged RS 275 for Oil change (engine and transmission).
Both Brake drum was cleaned and the engine side cover was removed. Not sure what SC was doing.

Engine grinding noise & vibration on foot between 35- 40 has occurred again. Not completely solved but reduced after the service.

Suspensions are a bit stiffer on bad roads.

Felt lower back paining after riding 120Kms in a day.

Out of the 716 Kms, 350 were driven during the worst rains Chennai hasn't seen in a decade. At some places, the silencer was even submerged. The bike performed very good.

I will definitely like to comment on the breaking and grip.

Awesome breaking during the monsoon. 50 to 0 within few feet on a straight line. Changed the perception I had on TVS tires.

To achieve this, I should use both my hand and foot brakes in my TVS Streak & Activa. LOL.

Bike safely handed over to my brother in law.

My 389xxK run Activa is sold to a close relative and the Streak will be moving soon as well. I have started saving for a new scoot for myself in 2016. It will either be a Wego or Jupiter.

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

^^ BlackPanther, congrats on the Jupiter, you will be happy with this shoot & scoot, whenever I am in India, make it a point to use extensively, the 12" wheels and the front & rear suspension are superior.

Am sure your BIL will be happy with the jupiter.

regards

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Got the bike registered on Friday & delivered on Saturday Morning.

Completed 100 KMS on Sunday.

My First ride experience.

Engine heats up very fast even running less than 2-3 KMS (Heat felt after opening the seat to place the helmet) and should be OK after first service.

"BIKE LIKE" to ride. Comfortable & relaxed ride position.

Good pick-up and can overtake vehicles without much strain.

Did a 30+ km non stop ride and the bike fared well in the 40-50KMPH mark. No pain in wrist / shoulder

Other small and useful features:

Low Fuel indicator (lights up when a minimum of 600ML fuel is left in the tank)

2 helmet hooks under the seat apart from the storage.

After starting the engine, if the bike is stationary for 110 Seconds, the Orange Power light on the meter console starts blinking to warn the user of fuel being wasted.

After coming to a standstill, post 20 seconds, same light starts blinking to switch of the engine.

Request people to test-ride this bike before going for Honda Activa/Aviator. I myself was a big fan of Honda Aviator before riding the Jupiter.

Not so good:

Main stand was bend. Show room guys who took the bike for registration must have hit a speedbreaker badly. This also resulted in paint in engine parts getting peeled when engaging & disengaging the main stand. Notied this only after 100 KMS and demamded for replacement of Stand. Ignored the deep scratches on the engine casing as I do not want the enging casing to be removed so early. Bad on TVS part who did not do a proper inspection before delivery. The polish during the delivery hid the scratches and I also could not find anything.

Grinding engine noice only between 35-40KMPH. This got fixed after the replacement of the stand. Weird.. might be vibration.


As per my instinct, I changed from engine oil at 100 KMS to Castrol Activ Scooter 10w30. Bike will be with me till the first service (750Kms) after which will be handed over to by brother in-law.

Thanks for reading
