    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.

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

    Just love my ride,

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

    thanks for reading

    enjoy the pics

    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.

    Re: TVS Jupiter Owners Review and Experience

    Thanks for all your replies. But i would like to mention that I had a bad experience of dealing with Hero Honda Service Centre in Maharashtra and had complained to Hero Honda, after which I got immediate attention to my problems.

    If I would have just walked into the TVS Showroom with my problem there is possibility that it would just have been attended by some amateur mechanic who uses his own instincts and might have given me some shitty reply. I wanted this issue to be looked at from an experts viewpoint. The facebook page of TVS Jupiter is very prompt. Monday whole Chennai was closed due to elections. Tuesday (17/5/16) morning I received a call from Dealer the chief workshop supervisor spoke with me and told me to bring the bike, I told that since i am in office i will bring bike while returning home, so that when i will reach the service centre the bike would have done 25 kms and they would get to inspect the bike's status at that position. He told he had delegated the job to chief mechanic and asked me to ask for chief mechanic. Reached service centre at 06:10 and asked for chief mechanic, the chief mechanic came and prepared a gatepass and told that he will check the vitals. I asked will i need to take the bike the next day, he told no, he will check right away and also rectify the brake lever issue. Waited for half hour while he did the job. He told that all bike is ok, and it is normal heating and nothing to worry. I got relieved as i can now depend on the bike and also plan to drive the bike for long drives (120-150 km one way) after setting the engine in after 2-3 K kms. Also the brake lever got rectified.

    Following is the status of engine heating:
    Till now four times i have gone 25 kms and returned and this is the heating status everytime
    15 May - Hot weather - 05:00 PM - Underseat space too hot and since it was first time i got scared
    15 May - Night Time - 10:00 PM - Underseat space was little hot, less than the first time.
    17 May - Driving in full rains - cool weather - Morn 08:00 AM - Underseat space was little hot / very less hot
    17 May - Driving in drizzle - cool weather - Eve 06:00 PM - Underseat space was little hot / very less hot

    So as i am driving more the heating is getting less. But I need to once drive the bike 25kms in hot weather and then see the boot heating status, which will give an idea of whether is this related to climate changes or not.

    I dont know what they did but they rectified the brake lever issue. Nowadays SVC have become too secret, even for a minor issue they take bike inside the workshop wherein public is not allowed and then fix the issue and come back, whether they change the cable and bill you if its old bike or just adjust the cable nobody knows. This is what i hate about the SVC / Service Centre's Carelessness. Our new bike may be the 10th bike of the day for them, but for us its our hard earned money and a bike which we can rely on. They are actually supposed to give sufficient time to every new bike and do a through checking might as well keep a checklist of the PDC (Pre Delivery Checkup) , but all they do is some careless cleaning fixing here and there and deliver to customer.

    A Wego rider, I've done a couple of 300~500kms trips on mine. The boot does get super hot but it's not much of a concern, ignore and ride on.
