[Discussion] Technical - Fuel Consumption

[biting_point]

anyway, based on info by thread starter, his riding style is the main reason why his FC so low..

 

bro, try ride within the speed limits.. then monitor your FC..

[ohayo]

yeah. threadstarter bro. maybe you should try this method

 

1. pump tyre pressure to 36, 42 PSI

2. pump 98 petrol

3. go at around 90-95km.

 

see how it is ba.

 

i am doing that. mine is 15litres for 330km. i should be able to hit up to 345km or more ba. still got reserve tank petrol.

 

bike is aroud 2months old. only open vtec twice.

[revospeed]

Hey guys. Sorry for asking.. Im new to the bike world. jus wondering abt the Vtec thing.. wat do u mean by opening Vtec? i dont understand that part. can anyone explain..? thx bro

[silverwing73]

My spec III is currently doing running in and I am doing average of 21KM per litres, is that consider good ?

 

I have yet to do my first engine oil change, I am averaging between 80 - 90 - 95 kmh at gear 6.

I think it meant that there is where is where bike will get additional boost in power and speed when your bike VTEC open depending on which spec your S4 is

 

Correct me if I am wrong, guys

Ummm.. i'm also quite curious abt the smell of the petrol that is coming from my spec3 exhaust while my bike is stationery or stop at traffic light.. my pillon told me is rather strong or maybe she has a sensitive nose?

 

Is it normal? pl advice. thanks.

dun think so, better get it check.....maybe something was loose causing the petrol to leak....

[arz82]

I just got my VerS...2 weeks ago

I pump full tank at spc. set the meter to 0 to check my mileage

so far I have travelled only 188KM but my fuel guage already show 1/4 tank only..

 

My speed limit in X-press way 90-100. Normal road 60-80.

 

I read the forum..fellow bikers ever say their VerS can reach at least 330 b4 reserve..some squeez to 400 until reserve finish.

 

Is this normal, should I wait till until i hit reserve then confirm the mileage..

[raidknight]

go and wash carb, tune carb, check air filter, etc etc... do your general servicing ba...

 

btw y pump SPC? hahahaha....

[arz82]

y got any problem pumping petrol at spc..?

[tatboy]

mine also like use up petrol veri fast lei... maybe mus go wash n tune.. btw how much u brought yr verS? wat plate?

[raidknight]

y got any problem pumping petrol at spc..?

 

no la... no problem... just think that its rather rare that pple pump SPC... anyway hope my suggestions to u helps...

[Guest Eason]

mine full tank 15 lite then travel till 300 is this normal?

[arz82]

Thanks for all your information. I will wait and see till reserve and then decide wat to do.

[pyro13]

its the same.. take mileage u travelled divide it by the amount u pump..

 

will get ur FC..

[fabian]

Go for a 'liquid' change if you suspect the previous owner had not done so.

 

So far tested Mobile, Esso and SPC (middle ranged priced) gives me the best mileage.

 

Think EO, OF, AF and coolent change would makes more different than carb washing(personal opinion)

[Kyrive]

my is spec 1 mine can go 290 (best mileage) b4 reserve.. after change everything like EO AF OF, tuned and wash carb, spark plugs. cleaned and lub chain liao. now is 280km / tank.. sian.. dunno why

[Fazli]

I use Ah Boy end-can and can get additional 30-40km mileage compare to using stock end-can. That makes it a total of ~450km/full tank.

[duckit]

Your tyre pressure got check ? EO change ? Do the basic first before goin to carb related stuffs.

[Kyrive]

but izzit legal end can? how it looked like?

and my pressure of the tires are 260 front 290 rear eh..
