its not tat i exercise my wrist alot.. my milage have not gone up to even 290km b4.. I dun really noe wad is the prob.. but its real taxing.. especially with the petrol prices..

 

any advises?

 

recommendations?

r u using stock air filters?

 

did u install PC3 to ur bike?

 

if i'm not mistaken, u r still using stock exhaust system....if ur answer is a NO for the first two question, u should get good mileage....

 

maybe u should try to lessen your throttle during moving off (1st - 3rd gear)......

 

dun worry abt petrol, some petrol kiosk are offering 50% discount....juz go across the 2nd link....

 

p/s: i'm using aftermarket parts for my bike and at 12km/l, i can only get till 200-220km before hitting reserve.....some things you have to sacrifice if you wanna achieve something ie speed, acceleration

Mine is a 2000 model. GTpek used to go until 270km then start reserve. But I can only click 230km d most.

Yap. when I riding it, it's average around 270km to 280km then go reseave. This I also managing around this milage for my current busa.

 

Just note that usually in city riding, I am not using all the 6 gear. I usually go 1st gear -> 2nd gear -> 4th gear -> 6 gear. or 1st -> 3rd -> 5th -> 6th. Not sure if it's "healthy" for the bike, but I realise that it does increase the milage.

haha. ahem.. here goes.

 

01. Went to malacca with my friend for makan session.

 

02. When coming back, at around 34.7km away from JB (around the kulai toll, the place where there are 2 biker died somewhere in january) suddenly the front tyre keep shaking up and down. At first thought that the road condition is bad.

 

03. After that, the front wheel start to wrabble (sorry of the spelling). and very very difficult to control the bike. don't even dare to press front and rear break as all concentration is on maintaing the balance (this is where the really lucky part come in, lucky did not fall off the bike).

 

04. After that just slowly ease the bike to the left sholder lane, and keep trying to control the bike. I just did not change gear, and no brake cos really very difficult to control the bike.

 

05. use leg to slow it down and keep the bike steady and let the engine die at 6 gear.

 

06. Set to neutral, look for tow truck and wait for friend. hee hee. heart beat slowly go down...

 

Lucky travel fast then the front tyre got some feel, as the bike go slower, the more difficult to control.

 

Well that it', just consider me lucky, but I not going to use this brand of tyre if possible. (I also don't know the brand and model it's from the previous owner, but will check it out and feedback).

 

that's it. and thanks for reading.

My FC is abt 270-280+km now cuz I control my itchy wrist mah

 

 

Actually if u remember someone posted abt maintaining abt 3000rpm u can hit good mileage rite, I'm trying that method now

 

Once move off, I try not to exceed 3000rpm (occasionally I do but not more than 4000rpm) for every gear change. It really did surprise me that can tahan that kind of riding on the busa and recently after clocking 270-280km my reserve light have not lighted up oso.

actually i did manage to hit 283.4km b4 fillin her up.

 

a bike with such a big appetite is really hurting da pocket..

 

is there any way tat we can tune down the fuel intake?

 

infact, my ave speed on SG rd is 120km/h - it is only with this speed or shld i say constant high speed tat I can attain up to 280km b4 the need to fill her up again.. sometimes on my way back home, i would be able to do a short burst of abt 200km/h on a short stretch of road; this bike would only be fuel economical upon high speed (tat's wad i deduced).
