[UshioChan]

Currently my fc is like 25/l, mine is ta200, I have serviced my bike, change air filter, wash carb, pumping 95 Caltex/ 5000 esso. But still my fc is maintaining at 25/l

Hmmm.. my fc is ard 29 to 33km/L since overhaul.

It was also ard 33 before overhaul..

 

Stats:

1. 10yr old bike

2. Owner 63-64 kg

3. 45L top box (normally only raincoat / swim gear / hp bat pack / papers)

4. Rarely pillion (twice a mth?)

5. Use shell 95 ron petrol

6. Just completed 1k run in since overhaul

7. Mainly city riding with rare expressways

8. P plate

9. Avg. Speed: 80 - 100km/hr. Rarely exceed 100

10. Sprocket and chain was changed during overhaul

 

Is this bad? The 29km/L was shocking though but perhaps due to city riding and traffic lights

[ber]

yours was doing 33, may I know why you overhaul? what was done and what is the cost? Considering servicing mine.

I'm quite a noob here but ah koon call it top overhaul?

 

It's basically done due to wear and tear of the gearbox.

 

Total damage: $700

Location: Planet Motor

Replacements done:

1. Gear set

2. Pistons

3. Gear shaft

4. Sprocket

5. Chain

OrThaDoX thanks for info. will bring down to the shop n see how much.

 

dh, that is amazing fuel consumption. any idea yr carb is how many turns out? you bike consumes any engine oil?

[OrThaDoX]

I am seriously interested in how u guys do it...

Do share the goodies?

[dhomosapien]

Ber, never touched my carb before so I have no idea. The engine does consume some engine oil, but not significantly. I can ride for 2500 km without having to top up or change. You guys can try playing with tire pressure, although I don't recommend it due to safety reasons. My rear is set at 260, front 200. Cheers

Just started playing with an app called fuel log (free from google play) and it's a handy tool. Just put in your mileage at each fill and the fuel, it can work out things like FC, average monthly cost, monthly/yearly mileage etc. just filled up again since getting it, did 32.4 km/l, mostly highway around 90 and town stop start. No box, but 77kg rider.

[squee]

I use this instead. It's great!

That's good fuel consumption! I'm always in the 36-39km/l range. Without a box and travelling mostly 30-70km/h on weekday mornings, and 60-90km/h the rest of the time.

[Defiantx]

Mine was a 11.5 years bike, when i first got it 4 years back its 29km/l. now 31.5km/l. Did top overhaul. really dunno how you all reach 36-39km sia. but i always go on expressway and avg speed about 100-110km/h

[ARIESCLAIRE]

My best FC on my 200cc Phantom is full tank 400km. I rode 100km and below, never above 100km. That was only one time trial, the rest is average 350km full tank

[ricebandit]

I average around 35km/l, mostly expressway around 90

[ahguang]

30km/l..

 

I think that good enough for a heavy 2B bike

[lukeyboi]

I'm doing about 35km/l on my TA200. mostly 80-100km/h.
