After using my Kinetic Nova 135 for long 9 years(56000 km), I bid a goodbye to Nova 135. Now this time - it is TVS Jupiter. Purchased on 25th March 2014 & done 135 k.m. Very smooth & encouraging ride till now. Average 43.5 kmpl (city ride 20-40 kmph).
Will come with mileage test & other report after done 250 k.m. Till then please wait for a true review.
Thanks
UPDATE - 1
After 250 k.m a slight kit-kit type sound comes from engine! or any nuts & bolts loose? Not sure but showroom boys says - it will gone after 1st service(due on 16th april 2014). 2nd mileage: 44 kmpl(city ride 20-40 kmph) Engine is smooth, Headlight is Best among all scooters in Indian Market. Kick start is like that a five years boy/girl can start the Jupiter. So soft & smooth.
UPDATE - 2
Ist service done at 522 k.m.(replace the engine oil, tighten all nuts & bolts, water wash, & adjust tappet to overcome slight kit-kit type sound comes from engine). After complete 908 km I found the real mileage is between 44-53, 44 kmpl when one drives on congested road with 2 person. 53 kmpl when on the highway.
so balancing mileage is around 47-49 kmpl. this is REAL MILEAGE. Forget about company claimed 62 kmpl. I think after adjusting tapped, my mileage increased by 4 to 5 km.
Fuel capacity is around 5 lits but under seat material is not as good as it expected. Jupiter is running smooth & fine. Will give another update after 2nd service due on 26/06/2014.
Before 1st Service Mileage was 40-44 km & after 1st Service -
Mileage Equation - 1:(565-420)/3.18=45.597 kmpl(50% Highway+ 50% City Ride)
Mileage Equation - 2:(725-565)/3.18=50.314 kmpl(40% Highway+ 60% City Ride)
Mileage Equation - 3:(890-725)/3.18=51.886 kmpl(50% Highway+ 50% City Ride)
Mileage Equation - 4:(1052-890)/3.18=50.94 kmpl(50% Highway+ 50% City Ride)
Mileage Equation - 5:(1206-1052)/3.18=48.42 kmpl(100% City Ride)
UPDATE - 9th Sept 2014
Clocked 2000 k.m & due for 3rd Service.
Mileage is between 47-50, I think better than any Honda Scooter!
Thanks!
