[Discussion] Technical - Fuel Consumption

[HaiR1]

hey people just wanna get some advise from u guys..

getting my 2A and contemplating between spec 1 and 2.

I want good fuel efficiency. so is spec 1 a better choice than spec 2? whats are the cons of spec 2 besides the vtec open earlier? I read through the thread some bros the spec 2 1litre can go up to 23km whereas spec 1 1 litre about 19km.. What price range should i be looking at?

Thanks bros.

 

 

 

More power comes with more petrol consumption

 

Consumption depends on your riding style/ engine n ect.. LOTS of factor to consider

 

Mine spec 3 till last drop manage to get 420km/tank..(if I throttle conscious )

[HaiR1]

I have pretty bad fc.

 

Btw what sprocket setup r u all using? Tyre pressure also.

 

Full tank last me around 220-230

 

 

 

Keep everything as stock as possible

 

Depends on weight, but must be within factory spec

 

 

 

 

Afew tips to look out :

 

 

Possible reason for bad fuel consumption :

 

 

-Airfilter (Dirty/ Clogged up)

 

-Spocket (Worn out/ Not standard size)

 

-Chain (Not lube/ Chain too slack/ tightened)

 

-Tyre (Worn out/ Incorrect Pressure) ( Wrong size)

 

-Tyre Valve (Leaking air)

 

-Wheel bearing (Not in good condition)

 

-Engine Oil (Wrong grade/ Due for change)

 

-Carburetor (Air/ Fuel not balanced) (Jetting not stock)

 

-Fuel (Contaminated/ Low grade)

 

-Fuel line/ filter (Clogged)

 

-Meter (Inaccurate/ offset)

 

-Rider (MotoGP mood/ Fuel-conscious type)

 

-Clutch (Clutch plate/ spring worn out)

 

-Header Gasket (Worn out)

 

-Weight (Heavy luggage/ pillion/ rider)

 

-Idling (Too High/ low)

 

-Engine braking (Too much)

 

-Abrupt braking

 

-Hard acceleration

 

-Engine condition (TOO much to explain)

 

-Brake Caliper/ Brake pad (Brake Caliper piston jammed?/ not free)

 

-Improper suspension set-up (Too hard/ Too soft)

 

-Servicing (Do on time, dnt overdue)

 

-Idle too long (Waste petrol/ Engine hotter/ coolant affected unnecessary/ WaterPump work harder to maintain temperature)

 

Tats all I can think off, for now.

Depends on rider

Hey people, just purchase a 1st hand revo few months back. My fuel consumption is really terrible like 18km/litre under normal riding without dragging. Isit normal that revo drink petrol like water? Cause some threads I read mention it could go for 24 to 25km/litre. Kindly advise.

me too. but roughly how much can you last on a full tank if everything stock except air filter?

[kurarensu]

Mine fully stock getting that kind of mileage.. Sometimes even lesser.. Think my sprocket maybe.. I get 100km @ rpm 6-6.3

You guys having any issue on the fuel indicator? my indicator seem to be giving my question if it actually malfunction.

 

e,g it 5 bar after a few sec it drop 4 bar than a few sec it return back to 5 bar

 

any advice?

Digital gauge is not as accurate as those analog "needle-type"

[Gaza86]

oh ok thanks alot for the inform

[wht3fr3]

anyone here know whr can i get carbon fibre tank and side cover?

[Verna]

I've been reading about bad mileage from so many users and that scares me. Super 4 is one of the contenders for my next bike.

Assuming a new well maintain super 4, whats the FC that I should be expecting ?

[Limiter]

my spec 3 is only getting 18-19km/l no matter how conservative I ride which is kinda high imo.

 

is there anything I should send for checking? tyre pressure is 235 front and 265 rear, no pillion 90% all time

For me :

 

For sg road, ard 300km BEFORE reserve

 

For Nshw, ard 300km INCLUDING Reserve

 

Varies on condition

Try riding on Nshw at a constant speed, see if u get constant FC

I actually saw this new model in a jap mag before i got my specIIIhttp://zz.avedcomputer.com/7.jpghttp://zz.avedcomputer.com/9.jpghttp://zz.avedcomputer.com/8.jpghttp://zz.avedcomputer.com/10.jpg

I think that's all that can be contributed.. Lol.

 

My Spec 1 FC is also very bad, considering that my bike is fully stocked and I'm only 43 kg -.-

16km/l. Piang
