Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Hello.

I have recently (3 weeks ago) purchased a TVS Jupiter scooter (BS IV).

Overall the scooter seems good. Still have to test the mileage.

I have one query, though: When driving at a slow speed of say 22 kmph, if I reduce the throttle position to zero, then the scooter starts gradually slowing down as expected. However at a certain speed (say 20 kmph) I notice that the scooter decelerates at a greater rate than before(I can sense a small jerk,as if the wheels are not moving freely). Then, at a smaller speed of say 15 kmph, everything is back to normal and the scooter starts decelerating at the normal rate again, and I get the sense that the wheels are again moving freely.

Why is it that the wheels appear to be less free at a speed ranging from 15 kmph to 20 kmph? Is this behaviour normal?

I must add that the scooter is due for first free service next week.

Regards and hoping for a reply from someone.

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

1. Good from competitor scooter (scooter performance and mileage)
2. Riding experience also good
3. Looking good, the performance also okay
4. Servicing from the showroom is not ok (lack of professionalism from support staff), maintenance cost also normal for this scooter
5. Mileage and performance is good, need to improve at front side fiber body.

Update @ 24000 kms
Got the scooter serviced, this time changed the Spark Plug, air-filter, clutch rollers, and drive belt. Now scooter feels so smooth on par with a new scooter, the old belt still had some life left but got that changed as i had a very bad experience with my old scooter which had its belt broken in middle of no where.
total cost for spare was 1150 after 10% discount and 490 was for the engine oil and service. This scooter is quite reliable,, fill it shut it and forget it.

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Use maruti 5w 30 oil, these scooter oils will not enhance the performance.

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Well, the 15w30 is a bike engine oil after all. Was referring to the Motul le 10w30 mb which is a scooter specific oil due to the additives. Will try a car engine fs oil after the Motul.

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

I had a bad experience with motul 5100 10w 30 after 2.5k kilometers engine oil level decreases. Here's a video review....

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Is anybody using the Motul le 10w30 oil? What's the feedback on it and how long does it last?

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Hello everyone..!!
This on behalf of my friend who owns Jupiter. !! Last night, someone broke his metal cover which is over ignition ..!! Can anyone help how to break it open. !!

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

I had a chance to do a regular service in my Brother-in-Laws Jupiter which I initially did a run-in and did periodic maintenance when in India.

The bike has covered 71000 KM in 3 years and 3 months.

During oil change I found only 150ML of oil drained. I concluded that it's time for a big repair. My trusted mechanic completed the overall repair with labour which costed 8500 INR.

New crank bearing and connecting rods, new valves and guides, rebored (stock + 0.25) and new piston were the bigger expenses. Other clutch related stuffs are still stock.

Unfortunately I won't be around to do the run-in again. Let me update if the work carried out lasted another 50K kms.

Very much happy with the KM clocked with stock TVS engine compard to the previous history with Hondas.


Regards,
Anand

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

hi rohit,

as of now i havent changed the stock relay. also hazard light i am using very rare. chennai it rains very less and i drive at night also very rarely. so will use hazard light only in case of emergency / when required and if the stock flasher fails will then change it to minda flasher.

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

[MENTION=35321]rsk11584[/MENTION] did you change the flasher relay of your Jupiter??
I suggest you to change the stock relay with after market relay like uno minda if you are using hazard light.
Stock relay cannot handle 4 indicators at a time.

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Hello guys has anyone fixed hazard light flasher to their bike? I am not getting a skilled mechanic to do it. also i want to make parking lights/ speedo lights on battery as i replaced them with LED and LED dont run well on AC

Dear Friends,


As my vehicle is nearing 3 years old i was thinking of doing some modifications on it, like adding hazard lights and making the front pilot lamps on battery etc. Searched many shops in chennai for modification and wiring changes, no mechanic knew or understood what i wanted. Then ultimately i had to take this task at hand and bought all necessary items from nearby electronic stores. Attached 2 cables to the indicator switch one cable to R indicator and one cable to L indicator and connected other ends of the wire to a switch. So whenever you turn on any indicator the indicator will blink and when you connect the switch the power also goes to other indicator and all 4 indicators start blinking. And when the hazard lights do blink the beeper goes silent which is very good thing. Though connections do seem easy but in reality it took me 2-3 trips to shops for consumables, 10-15 trips to home (up / down) for tools and around total 4 hours to get it finally set up:


Here is the video of it working and the switch is also small and fitted nicely.





Another doubt i have friends, is the wheel alignment or handle alignment of TvS jupiter straight, recently it seems that due to air pressure or something while driving the handle is not straight, or if the road is straight in motorcycles you can leave the handle and it goes straight but now in my jupiter its not going straight, what could be the reason? I know its risky and i dont do such stunts but i had a doubt on the handle / tyre and tried it on plain empty road.

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Problem is that, after riding for about 1 kilometer, the problem vanishes ( engine becomes warm)

Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

Spark plugs are meant to be replaced around the 10-12k mark. Check the afr yourself once. It should be 1 and 1/2-3/4 turn. If the asc cleaned the carb then fine. If not, recommend that.
