Complied a list on ways to improve your FC:

 

1) Changing gears at 4k rpm so as not to open e valve.

2) Tune your bike air-fuel mixture to run leaner.

3) Do not mod your bike, eg airbox (use e stock standard airbox, no need change to using airfilter), exhaust, fast throttle, cdi, sprocks (change to a smaller rear n bigger front sprock for slower acceleration).

4) Avoid city riding so as to avoid accelerating from rest (accelerating from rest consumes more fuel than crusing at 6k rpm).

5) Do not pillion or carry heavy load (best is starve urself, save money on e food too. alternatively can mod ur rims to magnesium forged ones, change to carbon fibre/plastic fairings ).

6) Lower your idling speed to at least a min acceptable lvl, for eg 1k rpm.

7) Avoid switching off n starting e bike in quick succession (just leave it idling if u r only gone for 1 or 2 mins).

8) Use e smallest acceptable size for e front and rear tyres.

9) Increase your tyre pressure to a high but acceptable lvl, for eg 24 front 26 rear.

10) Go for a overhaul to replace all the engine parts which have worn out.

11) Do not pull e choke for too long when warming up.

12) Use the manufacture recommended octane level for fuel.

13) Avoid using your bike's electrical system, for eg headlights, signalling, horning (prepare some money for fines).

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

wah so many post dunno wat to reply siah.

 

night, basically the person who did ur tuning (i believe) doesnt know how to tune. i can bring u to the other shop and let the guy tune. he did my other bike to 257km main and 304 incl. res. from 160 main and i am very satisfied. so are chenz and some others. to henry and remus, if tuning alone doesnt solve the FC problem, then something else must be changed. for my FR bike, the tuning didnt improve much until i go and do full service then realise actually is piston jam. so change new piston then re-tune then now i get additional 100km and more power on the throttle. is not one time tuning sure swee swee one cos tuning is also like a trial and error thingy.

 

i dont think it got anything to do with ur carb, probably when the mech wack ur bike till high rpm that time a piston ring could have broke (u better pray is the piston ring and not the piston) or anthing that might have caused the lack of pressure in the chamber. last time my carburettor dunno wash how many times in singapore but still never solve the problem until go JB then discover there is nothing wrong with the damn carb except that one idiot who washed it forget to put back the carburettor lining and the actual problem was with the piston.

 

also, if u looking at saving fuel, low rpm at low gear is not a good option. 1 and 2 gear should wack till 6000rpm then change, while 3, 4 and 5 can do good at 4000rpm. 6 should change after 6000rpm. the reason is simple. at 5000rpm the carb is flooded, thats why got that vibrating thing coming from engine. when its flooded it send in more fuel into engine and then engine no strength + eat alot of fuel.

 

FC can be affected by tyre pressure but 20kpa difference is no difference. even 100kpa diff also is not much difference. u know why? cos i tried it before. the diff is in the tyre breadth, 120/70 will give u several more km in total mileage as compared to 110/70 rear wheel. choke is ok to on for 2 min at startup, but dont ride with choke on. still i want to say, if ur fuel-air mixture is too lean, prepare to get engine damage cos the resultant temperature is too hot. fuel actually acts as a coolant in ur engine if u still didnt know. also remember the 2T. better to have more 2T (and smokier exhaust) than piston jam. but not so much like that time u kena summon by NEA la.

 

anyway, idiling at 1 - 1.4k is acceptable. will not make much difference. it actually varies at times. below 1k u may have problem when stopping cos the timing too slow then at every traffic light u realise u have to hold throttle or kickstart again. also, contrary to popular belief, pillioning someone all the time does not increase FC drastically. u probably lose 10km (the most) if u ride normally, most pple like to rev higher cos they scared the bike cant move. carrying a bit more load doesnt bite much. if u are talking about losing 90km at one go, its definitely not going to help to put these clicks back if u lose 2 kg in ur stomach. important is not to flood the engine by turning full throttle all the time. u will realise full throttle give u less power than gradual controlled throttle.

 

i still dont understand why pple want to be carrot and buy a chui sp from shop. how come no one tell them the sp in the shops are mostly chui sp that are in such a bad shape that it cant find private buyer thats why bo bian must push to shop. then i see the new sp riders all bought from shop and then come here and ask why so chui and all. cos the seller already give a chui sp to the shop and then the shop further take away all the good parts left then sell it to u! then u waste $ repairing and everything.... sigh. when will this evil retribution ever end? how come no one believe that the shop promise one month warranty but when u sign on the papers, do u see the words printed in bold and in caps that "THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR SECOND HAND BIKES"???

 

im not going to kulai on fri, confirmed.

sam i aint going kulai too

bo pain cant go cos working on sat

n yup i totally agree with u on ur part of the chui sp in most motodiams

hahas n i know u r advertising for ur own!!

 

anyway those pts that i posted on how to improve fc

dont mean it will improve drastically just that it will help

u can see that its somehow in the order of merit with e most fuel efficient way as the first pt
