Familiarise yourself with new TVS Jupiter 125
Riding skill and your mechanical knowledge form the foundation of safe riding practices. We suggest you to practice
riding TVS Jupiter 125 in a low-traffic condition until you are thoroughly familiar with your vehicle and its controls.
Remember practice makes you perfect.
Riding apparel
Loose, fancy clothing can be uncomfortable and unsafe when riding a two-wheeler. Choose good quality two wheeler
riding apparel.
Know your limits
Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Knowing these limits and staying within them will help you
avoid accidents.
Warning
Two wheeler safety starts with wearing a good quality helmet. One of the most serious injuries that can happen is a
head injury. Always wear an ISI approved helmet that should fit your head comfortably and securely. You should also have
good quality goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
To prevent or minimize accident, never consume alcohol or drugs before or during the operation of your vehicle. Even minimal
consumption of these will affect the rider’s ability to control the vehicle.
