      3) Opening and replacing the Horn

      I want to know the above three procedures.

      Thanks

      For accessing the Battery,
      1. Unscrew the screws exactly near to the luggage hook near the front end of seat. Below the rider...
      2. Lift seat cover and Unscrew the screws holding battery panel..
      3. Pull out the casing and you now can work on your battery.
      Its Pretty straight forward. You will need star shaped screw-driver though.
      ***Correct me if I am wrong :)

Till then color was not decided, she liked the red and silver.

            thanks for reading

            enjoy the pics

                8000 kms update-
                Scooter performs as it did when new only issue is some mild tak tak sound from front in potholes other than that every thing is just good as new.
                Fuel efficiency - 57 kmpl on highways with speeds of 50-60 kmph
                When used in heavy traffic in city i get around 42-45. Recently i did a 300 kms round trip which involved night riding and guys i am impressed with the headlights they are so powerful even the people who drive with high beam, switched to low beam when i used my high beam. Road was very clear with high beams switched on, i could do speeds of 80 kmph if needed.
                I feel with speeds above 65+ kmph engine feels stressed. But below 65 kmph it is very smooth.
                Give your details help a biker stranded in your city.



                2015 January Tvs Jupiter 28000kms and counting

                  Indeed the headlights are powerful, I never use the high beam, but when needed, on low beam I flash, which itself is quite dazzling.

                            Thread pattern is almost exactly same as the stock. Will try to post in morning.
                            BTW, if you are riding in smooth surfaces most time, you can take your tyres till 30K kms,My daily commute consists of 2 km off road/No road condition. Hence they ware out early.

                              My Jupiter is a mess. Please read full.

                              Background:

                              My ride till work is 10kms. The whole route takes me upto 90 mins with bumper to bumper traffic and unlimited potholes. The whole scooty weighs around 160KG incl my pillion both ways.


                              Main Issue:

                              One same problem in last 3 months for atleast 6 times--

                              1. My scooty is running normally, we have run around 7-8kms of the route (once 4km, once 2km) the traffic is ok, I'm riding at 30-40KMPH max and suddenly scooty looses power, I get no jerk and the ignition is trying to maintain itself and within 10 meters the ignition is off.
                              My petrol tank is always more than half full

                              2. The scooty is for today running but with a drag like it's coming back and slowing down. 30KMPH is the maximum speed post which I feel it will give up and it's also become a phobia that it will stop and again.


                              Here's what I do:

                              1. Now I try to start it a few times but it won't start and I know it won't 'cos it's now a regular affair.
                              Just once the scooty started (last week) and the ignition stays but when I try to accelerate, there is no response and the ignition is off.


                              2. I drag it to the nearest roadside mechanic. The guy checks the pipes for leakage or proper fuel flow and if they're fine, he checks the spark plug for the blue spark and all that.
                              He would change the carburetor setting, high low and he would try just everything and it would end up starting and again in 10 days same issue.

                              3. But last week 3 mechanics could not start the scooty even after cleaning the whole carburetor. In heavy Mumbai rains I was dragging my scooty from one guy to another.

                              4. Finally a young mech kept it for a while and I left for office. Later he called and told me 'Air ka problem tha, Jupiter ka air clean nahi karte kyunki body kholni padti hai'
                              I know in Jupiter the air cleaner is supposed to be replaced every 12K kms and never cleaned.


                              Question:

                              What is happening? I have made a 300km + & return Gujarat tour twice on this TVS Jupiter with no issues at all with constant 70KMPH.

                              Scooty condition: POOR

                              1. It's a Sept 2014 model and only 4100kms run. For 4-6 months the scooty remains in the parking then I use it for 4-6 months and the routine continues.

                              2. I use regular Castrol engine oil and have never replaced anything inside except the pipes time and again.
                              Servicing is done by local mech only every time I want to use it for a while.

                              3. The manual says replace Air filter cvt filter element and spark plug at 12K kms or 12 months.

                              PLEASE HELP! What to do :'(
