[Ronn]

I done my Full service at Machspeed too, (Y) Will be going there end of august. Anyone wanna join the party? LOL

 

@Confusehaha- Mine almost the same as yours. 19km/L. Fully stock too.

Like hell.. done my full service last week, still FC same problem. Wonder if Broquet does help? and advise? help me eh, pity me can? for one month and so. Wasting $ on Fuel. godd....

 

Oh btw, Did you guy tried using Different petrol? as in, 98caltex,Vpower,Spc95 ? any changesin FC?? i tired 98Caltex, still the same, current spc95. :)all time favourite.

mech told me try different petrol, and Route that i take. As in, HighWay & Minor road which have lots of traffic light. Maybe highway can reach 220km+, But road that filled with traffic lights, lightly to cost more FC ?? but i don think so, still FC is crazyyy. Lol

Dude looks like we're all having the same problem.

 

It could be a problem with your auto choke. Botak the mechanic did said it costs 190+ to change, and most mechanic dont fix it. However he did it for me for 25 bucks using a battery to charge it or sth.. and when i read up on a gilera manual turns out thats the right way to do it. Currently testing the petrol consumption to see if its helped.. seems like it does. Also he changed a air chamber connecting to the carbeurettor for me for 20 bucks; it had a big tear. Now im checking my consumption based on distance travelled each time i top up petrol - im assuming my petrol guage's not accurate it just jumps about. Anyway if you want to i can bring you to botak give your bike a check.

 

@dotdotdotzzz How much for a full service over there? I dont mind going with ya i stay in tampines too

[revontulet]

I just topped up fuel at half tank today - 3.25 litres and i travelled 93.0km. That gives me almost 30km/l.. meaning its good now isnt it? Shall i try the method where i carry a bottle of petrol with me and run the bike till it dies to see the maximum distance it can go?

how to fix the fuel meter?

[Ronn]

how to fix the fuel meter?

 

bro i think you should let mech do this meter stuff, as wire is complicated

[revontulet]

i just tried to stretch my bike's distance as far as i could on empty... decided to stop at 214.2 km and was happy abt it. but i topped up petrol turns out i'd used 9 litres.. which leaves my FC at 23.8 km/l. What's going on man...

[Ronn]

Aw... Where are those people make it 30km/L . damn this is sickening. directly whats de freaking problem, as mine i can feel 18KM/L - 19KM/L.. It's killing me man !

[dotdotdotzz]

haha. so far best FC is shell 95 for me. i used to use 98 but abit no point i think.

 

Shell 98 - 240km (good FC but not very smooth)

shell 95 - 220-230km (Good FC but not very smooth)

Esso 95 - 180 Km (Smooth riding)

Caltax 95 - 200km (smooth riding)

 

So far i tried so many petrol. thats my bike FC history. haha. never tried spc cause its not very good as review from all my friend.

 

I have decided to use caltax 95 for my bike after testing so long. Got 11% discount for it also. but cant collect point =( overall i calculate its more money saving even thou no point to collect.

 

OCBC credit card allow u 11% and collect point also. But you need pay annul fee. which add into the petrol money = no 11% liao.

 

Ronn i added you in msn =)

Revon add me in msn too. =) [email protected]

 

I will be going around mid of this month to do my service and open pod.

Average if u are getting around 23 to 24km/l is ok.. Tat's a average range of a runner with open port on, after market pipes and some modification to the engine:) but if ur bike is fully in stock condition. U should able to get 27 to 30km/l.

[Ronn]

target for 25-30km/L ! How i hope soo.

[confusehaha]

Aw... Where are those people make it 30km/L . damn this is sickening. directly whats de freaking problem, as mine i can feel 18KM/L - 19KM/L.. It's killing me man !

 

Probably ur main jet is two big. Might be allowing more fuel to go in to ur carb.. Might need to switch to a smaller diameter one.

[ShaReN]

i calculated mine. average is around 27.5 km/l. when are you guys going to mach? let me know.

Not bad......

[revontulet]

If thats that case where does that excess fuel that goes into the carb go? Gets burnt anyway?

[MC28]

I'm getting 23km/l on open pod + LV SBK...

[Ronn]

i calculated mine. average is around 27.5 km/l. when are you guys going to mach? let me know.

 

21th(SAT) this month interested?

do text me @96618323 !

 

Anyway, Yours 27.5KM/L is cool. I think best is still give mech do the job. LOL maybe it's more on carb. damn suck it dry man my fuel. feel like selling off.
