Check ur air filter or choke cable.

yo bro! tried leh changed b4 5k oso like more or less same nia. dunno is it tuning or wad la bt seems like arnd 4.5k rpm tt tym whole bike macam no energy leh. always use 98 petrol 1 now change to Vpower FC even more jialat bt still considered very smooth ride la

 

 

yo bro Vpower will surely burn very fast coz its a high quality petrol.

 

98 vs Vpower? 98 will surely give u more mileage.

 

my only advice is clean ur carb and air filter if u are using air filter and also ask ur mech to tune ur carb to the lowest settings for commuting if ure not a performance kinda person

 

and one last tip try pumping 95 petrol,u will surely get more mileage and trust me on this one.your only issue would be the way you handle the throttle which would determine how your fuel consumption will be.

Yes how the way you ride does matter to your fc, needless to say.

 

When I first got hold of my sp, my fc was totally nothing to say *bad fc*

 

The things I did to my bike that actually improve the fc by huge difference is getting my mech to tune my carb to stock setting.

 

A well maintained chain: clean and lube it accordingly, and check whether is it 'sagging' too much. *dirty chains and poorly maintained chains does affect your fc (at least for my case)*

 

And sufficient air in your tyres is important too!
