[Nighthawk_250]

For starter try cleaning the air filter. Just cleaned mine, very dirty after using for a year. If using stock then change it..

 

haha mine also around this range but my odometer got prob but i agak agak is around there

 

Thank you

 

I think i found the problem to my crazy fuel consumption.

 

Will ride once again until empty tank to confirm again but its pretty obvious.

 

The hand brake pad had been tighten until it bite "just nicely" on the brake disc,

stopping low speed travel (or slowing the bike down) and it is not obvious until you free it.

 

Seriously cannot believe this little fine adjustment made so much difference and its like a hidden

problem. You wont feel it that much even when u spin it stationary on full stand

not advisable to ride till empty tank cos it's bad for the fuel pump.

 

why not use the "refill amount" method instead?

see tech post #115Fuel Guage Calibration & Consumption

1) Refuel to full tank (level should always be the same for accuracy).

2) Reset trip meter to zero and start riding.

3) At next refuel (to same full level), note down km travelled and litres of fuel topped up; you have 1 data set.

4) Reset the trip meter and start riding again.

5) Repeat steps 3 & 4 for as many cycles (data sets) desired.

6) Compute FC as follows:

 

 

FC (km per litres) = Total Distance Travelled / Total Fuel Consumed

Easier to do now with a mobile app. Move with time

Done that, thanks.

Was curious about the last 4 reserve litres; if they are really usable to the last drop.

I had a 1L petrol container in the box and top it up immediately when the bike got slightest sign of fuel starve.

 

In your years of compiling the tech corner, have you come across anyone with this issue on the handbrake pad?

(its too deeply threaded for me to read all posting)

 

I would suggest anyone with fuel consumption issues go fiddle with the handbrake lock nut

[yogi]

Shiiii..... not so loud, be careful wall got ear...

 

bro, do u happen to have any contact (preferably email addresses) of the ppl at Boon Siew? (given ur experience wif ur vfr)

suppose your fuel sensor is working properly, the 4 litres of reserve is actually more than 4 litres.

many of us have tried heading straight to refill the moment reserve kicks in but could only top up near 4 litres, even to the brim (can see petrol). we think honda calibrated the reserve with some buffer.

problem arise when your sensor float becomes not so "sensitive" over the years (wear-n-tear), so reserve level "buay chun". if then still push to limit, higher chances of kenna play out lor.

 

recommendation is to refill not too far after reserve kicks in, plus estimate the die-die-must-go limit taking reference from FC.

 

handbrake issues? yes, one of the bro's FJS had his handbrake assembly jammed... close liow cannot "open", bike can't move.

so remember to service the handbrakes once in a while or it may get jammed the next time you use it.

Went to do my EO change on Monday. asked ah choong about the 10w40 engine oil for final gear. he asked me to trust him la use gear oil.

 

faint....... how ah?

[Uncle]

When's your bike?

 

Rubber time. "Will try to give by next week but no promise".

 

Finally, I'm getting my bike this Sat. But already given up trip slot to robinowyong

[SW9000]

Haha. He don't know you....

 

Most would insist to use/buy 3 bottles of 10W40:

2.2L for Engine (with oil filter change) and 0.320L for gear.

Can keep the balance for next change.

 

Mine more complicated because I used diff EO for engine and gear.

[Lem0n]

like that how sia? drain out the gear oil n change to motor oil?

[SW9000]
