Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Damn. I thought its 4KG lighter than Activa. Solution is Wego then. But when I ride, would look too big on the Wego. :P

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Yamaha Ray-Z is also an option. Easy to ride and looks good. And you won't look too big on it

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

There will be a sticker pasted (below the front seat panel, where you keep your legs) or the same will be mentioned in owners manual also.

Cheerz!!

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

No, the Wego looks bigger than RayZ. My cousin sister rides a Ray. Its essentially the same Ray with just new graphic. Looks really small on me. . The Jupiter's new colour(Matte Beige) has further added the confusion.

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Hi, I'm Govind Shenoy,

I recently bought a Jupiter.. Three days back.. And it's my first scooter.. learning to ride on it..
Today morning it was leaking petrol from a black color small tube/hose on the right.. On closer inspection, there are two hoses, not sure from which one it was leaking.. Looks like the carburetor overflow hose.. The scooter was on side stand..

Is this a problem and does it require immediate attention , I'll be going to the service center this Wednesday to collect all documents and manuals.. Should I service it now or can I do it on Wednesday..

On another note, how much does the brake handle cost, my right brake handle broke while I fell.. I'm fine though .. (This was after the leak)

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Have you ceased the petrol leak?? what they said about the leak???

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Turns out it was overflow.. They checked it during the first service and it was fine.. Now I have a slightly different problem.. The handle vibrates.. Maybe the wheel should be aligned.. Or front suspension has become hard..
All in all its been a good time with Jupiter.. 2000km done

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Got my Silver Beauty Yesterday...
Some Pics....

I am 5.8 Ft and Heavily Built. This is how I look on it.


The Under seat storage takes my Full Faced Helmet without any Fuss....


Ride Experience:
Its Smooth and Punchy. Feels great on average Indian roads. Rode 40 Kms Non stop yesterday on Highway. It was damn comfortable. Took the Regular Pot holes/uneven surfaces with ease. BUT, BUT, BUT Dont expect the Bike like Comfort on the Heavily Potholed Roads. A 100CC bike will any day save your back on the Non Existent Rural Roads. I tested myself on such a stretch.
Once I crossed 70, could feel some amount of Vibration on the footboard at that speed. May be, its Engine Tuning in.
I guess, It's exhaust is louder than Activa. But it is extremely involving to ride.

Current Odo 57Km. Will update on milege soon.

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

My younger brother rode the bike for 350 Km in 8 hours today(Total 500 kms in 2 days). Though every thing is ok, I just want to know, what is the limitation of a scooter?? Does it stresses the engine more than a bike?

And yes, he is totally fit. I am not concerned about him a bit..

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

350kms in 4 hours is an average of nearly 90kmph

Congrats on the new ride

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Damn, thanks for correcting. Thats 8 hours. . What i am concerned about is- The Engine must have been fried. What can be the consequence?? Piston busted, etc!!
He says, he never rode it above 60-70 kmph in the whole journey. And had not stopped once in the last 150 kms after the last refill.

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

You can't do much about what is already done. So don't even bother about what might have went wrong. Just get your first service a bit early and ride happily.

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

60-70 for a scoot is like 110 for a 150cc bike

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Ya, first servicing was done at 700Km ODO. Current Odo is 1380. But I think I will change the engine oil now, to be the safer side, as I feel, the heat generated during the ride would have affected the viscosity of the Oil. It performs very well though, no sign of abnormality.
But i am scared. really scared. Dont want, the mech saying in the second servicing- You need new Bore/Piston.
But I am still curious to know, How many Kms has a scoot done in a day without breaking down. Does any body knows, any Activa has ever done Leh??

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

woah woah..
1. these scooters seem to handle non stop rides with ease. I have done around 350-400km in one day a few times and most of the time the first 120km is a non stop ride which i am able to complete in 2hrs 15min two up on my 2007 dio.
2. you dont have to worry about anything frying or conking out (as long you have the right grade & quantity of engine oil) - and i always keep varying the speed +-10kmph
3. @ 60kmph the scoots cruise at EASE with no stress felt at the engine. There wasn't even a drop in engine oil level.
This from my experience on the honda dio.. (i started doing these long runs when the odo was at around 25k km) not once has it given up/over heating/starting trouble/weird noises. If you are game, then it can cruise at 60kmph all day long. My only suggestion would be to use a xxw40 engine oil (10w40 or 20w40) if you are doing long runs. I haven't tried the 10w30's on long rides, but for the first time i have used it on my dio two months ago, and it seems fine for short city runs. My Dio's at 50k km and still purrs like new.. just need new clutch shoes.
I haven't ridden the tvs scooters much so I cannot say for sure if they can handle such 'long' runs, but i am sure they will.
