Hello there guys! A newbie here in riding the KRR. Used to ride a TZM, and yes, there's quite a difference in both bikes! Well anyway, my concern now is about the fuel consumption of my krr. Eating way too much then I expected. My speedo isn't working, and so is my odometer (the one used to calculate mileage), so i cant really calculate the accurate distance traveled with full tank. But since I only go to and fro skool (a total of ~36km per day), and additional ~40km a week to go out sometimes, I calculated an estimation of about 17-19kmpl. It's really not an accurate measure, but it sure is high fuel consumption.

My tzm drinks around 27-30kmpl, and I do whack sometimes. But for my KRR, i dun usually whack, instead be gentle often and smoothly accelerate on my throttle to reach higher speeds. And I do open my valve, usually at highways and once in awhile on normal roads. I'm not too sure about my sprockets, but I think they're used for good pickup. I pump Caltex 95, use Putoline RS959 fully synthetic.

 

I need help from the abang2 KR regarding this matter. Saw some others post about the jet size and etc. I've yet to go to my mech, but would like to know from you guys first. Thanks guys :)

 

PS: I'm not really complaining, just seeking advice. Newbie mah. AND I DO LOVE THE KRR'S HANDLING OVER TZM. hehehehe :p

 

For your speedo not working...perhaps can try changing the speedo cable. 17-19....wow your fc is like class 2 bike :p. Perhaps can try bringing to your mech to tune it up nicely. Full service it and so on. I used to get 15-17km/l when I got my krr. After tuning and servicing, it became 28km/l. Now its back to 22-23km/litre....though I heard its about normal actually.

Hi Bro.. Welcome to KRR rides! :)

 

There's a high possibility that your KRR carb has been mod to faster pick up and thus you suffer on FC.. most old KRR only have +/- 18-22km/L.. Reason? They have been mod mostly on block and carb.

 

If you wan back good FC of 27-30km/L... You need to check if your block have been mod anot. If never mod, change back the setting inside your carb and you will get good FC.. :)

 

Ahh alrighty! Okay, so i change back the settings inside my carb if my block no mod. IF my block got mod, how then bro?
