6km too extreme oredi lah. I ride very short distance of

yeah that is what got me worried cause of 6km is very extreme however its true cause my dad and i topped up 24 liters up then now he says he only travelled 150km and the bike have reached reserve which makes me wonder if 24 liters can only hit 150 then the bike is really extremely bad consumption anyothers have this problem? or overcomed this type of problem care to share cause i seriously want this bike however if the consumption is like this then i may have to consider other bikes already cause this will kill me in the long run:dot:

[TonyVaras]

1. Yr fuel leak from some where, fuel pump, fuel line, do u smell fuel near the bike?

 

2. Get a mech to chk yr timing/spark plug, or even do a valve clearance.

 

3. Someone stole yr fuel, vary common now, hv u read the news?

Bro Still Knight,

 

I must admit that the Vara is a gas guzzler compared to other makes in the market here, however 6km/litre is kinda extreme lah..

 

I totally agree with Tony's advice.. Go to the bike shop and get it checked out.. Could be ure jetting or carb settings (well that's just my guess). If you're riding the EFI model, then lagi fuel saver lah.. Anyway, i'm getting abt avg 16-17km/litre on my carb model..

Panjang>> so far, none of our vara community here fixup with the TKC 80. U intend to go off road riding or use it for normal road. Maybe u can check out our vstrommer Al-simmon, i think he have lobang for that.

Panjang>> since ur bike going to apporach 10 yr anniversary. Maybe send for total restore & rebuilt. You will have a peace of mind when u go touring. 6km/litres is extreme unnormal, on normal road condition eg 80-90km/he, sometimes we can hit 16-19km/l for carb model. EFI model will be better.

OK bros, finally got around to uploading photos from Tues with Vladimir

Vara,me & myself hey Bro, why so angry photo?

[Kenny]

yup..6km/l is extreme..mine does 14km/l on Sing roads and at most 11-12 km/l when touring.

 

stealing is a possibility although our fuel lines are a little harder to tap.
