[Discussion] Technical - Fuel Consumption

[hachi]

Curise and top speed are diff.

[calvin]

these are rough average figure.........

18km/l for constant vtec is normal

20km/l for seldom vtec is normal

 

ver s can can get abt 25km/l

 

s4 crusing at high speed is quite ok.... not much vibration even up to 160km/h.... bike is quite comfortable jus like at speed of 60km/l....... ride the s4 to feel it......

75% ride on highway. = 120 to 130km/hr ( speed) on my vtec II

 

is this consider high consumption??

same wif u. no nd worry bah.

i running in keep at 80km/h(no dragging in front till vtec), can reach ard 21km/l.

run in finish, open vtec like siao, only 18km/l. haha. i guess nw 100km/h is enough for me ald bah. safe n sound.

depends on body size... if small built quite ok... if got wind sheild on bike better.....

 

keep body abit low n knee grip fuel tank... not much wind resistance...... jus dun try to be a "sail on a boat" if u get wat i mean......

 

if without box can handle bike better.....

 

hope this is usefull....

[kktan]

i dun use that speed here in singapore. i use the malaysian high way nearly everyday... 2nd link., so quite nice to cruise abt abt 120km.hr for abt 25 to 30km before i hit perling. on the trunk road i just maintain abt 80 to 90km/hr.

[VOODOO_DOLL]

So far i traval @ 100-110Km per hour.... abt 21-22km per LITRE... and abt 2wk

i pump my tire pressure and it can last 380-400km @ 16++ litres... Quite

happy wif e result..... :cheeky:

[kengking]

Currently running in, 22km/l....

[ck_yeo]

wats the max capacity of the fuel tank? 15L?

[kengking]

18L (15L + 3L reserve)

Yup, Amalfi.

 

Bought from Looi's at $13K, but think your deal not bad. Mine just 1/2 yr road tax, crash bar (2 pt small one), IU, bike cover, rain coat.

 

But then trade in of amalfi is higher there so ok for me lor.

hello everybody, i riding spec II . i pump fill tank ,now i travel only 170 km now only left 3 bar ( which is half tank) some more i all the way smooth ride nv drag rpm over 6 . is it normal or my consumption high?

[ralliart_ray]

U should see how far can the full tank can reach b4 its empty (blinking bars)....

[ralliart_ray]

full tank should reach 300 - 330km....before reserve...

[bt]

agreed. 1st bar disappear only after 110+- km and full tank is about 360km for me, so u cannot judge on this kinda ratio or basis. try to ride till the meter blink lor.

[eddie23]

ok thanxs for your reply

Hello, if the fuel consumption is about 190 km, what to check? Is it time to change the air filter and oil filter? Please advise, as I just got mine S4 spec II for one week only, 2nd hand one.

 

Now my fuel tank only has one bar left, and I only ride 190 km. What's wrong with my bike?

don't depend on the digital gauge too much, not very accurate.

better if u clock ur mileage after pumping, den chk hows ur consumptn like (km/litre).

for me, after pumping to e brim, travel 80km only 1 bar down oredi. but consumptn is ok (ard 22km/litre)

The meter not accurate.

 

My meter blinked one day and I went to pump petrol. In the end, I only pumped 11 litres!! Everytime I also fill up to the brim...

 

If your exhaust got knock holes, then consumption for full tank is around 280 to 290km. If not, it should be 300 to 320km.

[spoon]

?? mine oso ...

My meter blinked and i pump till the top ..now meter abt 180km , left 2 to 3 bar only ... how cum hah ....

 

i'm using yoshi full system exhaust ...isit becos of tis.....

 

thanks for help....

[edkoh2003]

Hello, thanks guys for your information, you are right my bike is now 220km and it is still one bar.

[Warder]

For me my meter will blink when its 295KM as I like to revv a lot.

[bt]

think hor, dun worry about it so much lar. can always judge the FC when ya pump 1 full tank and then after riding close to 300km, go for full tank again den u can roughly count how much petrol consumed over 300km & divide by 15l.

 

i noticed when u throttle more either at the beginning or at the higher speed, the meter will either go down 1 bar when its near the range. when u maintain den it will jump back. nothing much to worry about one, as long as u understand ur own riding style.

 

e.g: when i drag and drag, FC = 310 km for 15l

normal riding at 90kmph 6krpm, FC = 350-360km for 15l
