dont know my meter problem or the fc problem.

when reach the blinking stage(200km),i go topup and only go in 12lil when reach the tank neck.

me ridding spec 2.and i do change the gear around 7krpm for gear 3 and above.

Hey yah man, when my fuel meter blinking liao, i go top up petrol till brim, only can pump in 13.5L. That means the reserve tank is 4L++??? Anybody know how big is the reserve tank? And 1 more question, how often do you guys change your oil filter? Together with EO change?

But bro..get down to motorworld now..coz they having tis package of 3btls of Castrol R4, Hi-flo Oil filter and BMC air filter..on a Well Good price!!!

K&N is washable filter. so u only need to wash, dry, then oil the filter, put back n u r ready to go. so that means no more paper filter 4 u. approved or not approved nevermind... no inspector is going to lift up the fuel tank n check ur air filter.

 

 

so no worries n can put 100 of heart to install K&N air filter....

its approve...high flow air filter is ok..washable and save for long term.

changing gear at rpm7 seems quite high

i notice dragging of lower gears will 'eat up' fuel

and maintaining constant speed (ard 80-90km/hr)

is more fuel efficient then stopping and going?(traffic lights)

 

correct me if wrong bros..

=)

[sabbaha]

Yupe bro..u r rite! The more we rev it the more petrol eat up!

yes... full to the brim... 17+ litres...

[nyquist2000]

Mine is the version "S". Not been sending to mechanic for carb washing and tuning for about 1 year 2 months liao. Currently, petrol consumption still stable around 34~ 35 km/ litres. So...version "S", "R", Project Big one.... if you still have them, is still value for money. Spec 1 and 2 , 3 engine is not the same design with the former and the petrol comsumption might not be as good lor. That is all for my input and observation so far.

 

So in case you happen to spot a second hand bike with version S or R or even project big one.... the price is reasonable.... is your grab. Good luck.

Or is it the way u ride?

 

Dun wait till you open vtech then u change gear leh. Its too high rev liao. If possible, under normal circumstances, change gear between 4 to 5 x 1000 RPM. Better still if you can tahan, change gear at 3000 rpm. Do this and see if it would improve ur fuel consumption.

I think u meant 24 - 25km per litre bro. I know of some rider with Ver S. They can travel till 400km then only start reserve. Average they can go is 24km/litre. I think maybe u divided the numbers wrongly?

bro..maybe like what manzz said..try not to open ur vtec den change gear..if best....1st 3 gear change below 6k and change fast...den u can have ur speed too if i wasnt wrong..for s4 due to close gear ratio..think no need to drag too long b4 a gear change and also notice most other 2B mode bikes pickup rather faster den me too....

[nyquist2000]

Sorry guys...wrong calculation on my part due to poor math. Paiseh Put it simply, my version "S" hit reserve above 400 km. Went JB to pump full tank was like 16.5 litres. Sorry for the confusion.... kekeke

[episode2]

my math failed all the way since sec 1..wahhahaha.. but if all the way xpressway riding..it really can clock higher...did hit 350+km abit b4 360km still haven reserve.... ....i estimated wrongly too 24km/l is nice... if all the way 4k rpm change gear + xpressway riding,
