fuel efficiency.
î Regular servicing: Get your vehicle serviced at an Authorised Hero MotoCorp
workshop, as per the service schedule, for an optimum performance and keep the emission
level under check.
î Genuine spares: Always insist on Hero MotoCorp genuine parts as spurious or
incompatible spares and accessories can upset or deteriorate your vehicle’s running
