The recommended engine oil for the Hero Xtreme 160R 2022 is SAE 10W30 SL grade, meeting the API SL and JASO MA2 specifications.
It is advised to change the engine oil every 6,000 kilometers or every 6 months, whichever comes first, to ensure optimal performance.
To improve fuel efficiency, maintain a steady speed, avoid rapid acceleration, keep the tires properly inflated, and adhere to the recommended maintenance schedule.
Check the fuel level, ensure the kill switch is in the 'Run' position, inspect the battery connections, and verify that the spark plug is functioning correctly.
To adjust the chain tension, first, place the motorcycle on the main stand. Loosen the rear axle nut, adjust the chain tensioner bolts evenly on both sides, and ensure there is 25-30mm of slack at the midpoint of the chain.
The recommended tire pressure is 29 psi for the front tire and 33 psi for the rear tire when riding solo.
If the headlight is not working, check the bulb for any damage, ensure the wiring connections are secure, and inspect the fuse for any faults.
The break-in period is the first 1,000 kilometers. During this time, avoid full throttle operation, vary the speed, and do not maintain a constant RPM for extended durations.
To clean the air filter, remove it from the air filter box, clean it using compressed air or wash it with mild detergent if it's a foam filter, and ensure it's completely dry before reinstallation.
Regular maintenance includes checking and replacing engine oil, cleaning the air filter, inspecting brakes, checking tire pressure, lubricating the chain, and ensuring all lights and signals are functioning properly.
