Hi guys. i am new to runner. i am riding a 07 model.

I need help on my FC. I realised that my FC is around 18km/L to 22km/L only. Is it normal? Btw i am using hurricane air filter. Two days i already need 7 Litres of petrol after 131km of travel. I realised my idleing after warm up is around 1.8 to 1.9 rpm, does it seems a bit too high? Can i do anything to reduce my fuel usage? And when i insert the pump to pump petrol, do i insert the pump right to the bottom or just insert like half way through? iI also like to know what's the full tank of runner?

Need help. Hope to get some reply,

Thanks on advance!

seems normal to me. learning to control ur wrist is a good way to save fuel.

U changed to open pod filter? did the mech rejet for u? cos if never rejet, too much air, u will feel a greater pull on pickup but damn shitty top end.

 

ur full tank is 9L if i am not wrong.

ic.. thanks for ur reply.. I not sure mine is open pod filter, is a kind of expose to the air de. He did tune for me but i not sure whether he did rejet a not.. top end i try probably only 120km/hr..

[Dafanshu]

i am riding a 07 too and i am getting a FC of 30KM/L after using the new shell 98.

 

6L+ will get me a rough mileage of 200

 

Bike is fully stock.

Any open filter meaning a higher amount of fuel comsumation that is been forced to feed the engine compartment giving a better "start" but on the down-side maybe from mid to the end speed. Also if rain(water) or any unclean objects gets into your engine you be spending big money on it cos you never know if the piston, valves, shafts or cam is damage.

of course not normal la the fuel meter not tighten properly. anyway the speed meter is also not very accurate as the bigger you modify it the slower or faster it gets depands on different cases.

[siron]

i can go abt 220km frm full tank.

[MON1605201398]

apperciate it bro!

[jaLib0y]

@mon, what do u mean, not tighten properly..? Is there a way to fix this problem?

yes you may and there is a need to dismantle meter gauge and casing on the back of it you'll see some wiring, on the back of it you may tighten the part you are having problem with.

 

NOTE : do not tighten too much cos if not the meter will not "drop" accourding to fuel consumption.

Hi, I like to enquire from those seniors riding vxr runner for years. Does the bike require valve clearance after a certain milleage? What the price of doing it as well? And which shop do a good job for it? Hope to get some replies.
