A spark plug is one of the essential components in the ignition system. The electrodes of the spark plug wear out due to repeated discharge of high voltage and corrosive oxidization due to combustion, causing the plug gap to gradually increase.
The Air Filter, filters the particles and dust in the intake air to protect the engine parts. It generally gets clogged over a period of time due to particles and dust over prolonged usage.
Hero MotoCorp vehicles basically have three different types of air filter, they are, Polyurethane wet type, Dry Paper and Viscous Paper type. The Polyurethane and dry paper filters require periodic cleaning. Polyurethane requires replacement once it is damaged where as Dry Paper Filter requires replacement once in every 12000 km. Viscous type does not require cleaning and replacement is recommended once in every 15000 km. More frequent cleaning or early replacement may be required when used in dusty condition.
If the recommended schedule is not followed, it may lead to lack of engine power, reduced fuel efficiency and premature engine failure resulting in expensive repairs.
Filtering capability may get affected by using a non - genuine air filter. There are many HGP look-alike filters available in the open market, which are inferior in quality. Such filters deteriorate under normal usage causing the filters to shrink, thus reducing their sealing capability. Use only HGP genuine air filter to ensure optimum engine performance and enhance life. For further assistance, kindly visit your nearest Authorised Workshop.
A Fuel Tube is a joint through which continuous flow of fuel takes place from the fuel tank to carburetor.
Generally 4 year is the average replacement time recommended for a fuel tube. In exceptional cases like unattended vehicle for over 6 months or more, fuel Hose need to be replaced.
A continuous flow of fuel deteriorates fuel tube due to high volatility of petrol internally and it starts leaking from fuel tube joints indicated by fuel smell.
HGP's fuel hose is made up of different layers of materials, which prevents deterioration against fuel internally and withstands different climatic conditions externally. It is recommended that both ends of the fuel tube are connected with a wire clip.
