recently changed to mobil and my mileage improved bit by bit...

used to be 260

now 300 and still havent blink and can still ride..

but blink means must immediately pump izit? or means using reserved? scared need to push bike...

 

When the petrol indicator continue running non-stop, it meant that you are running on reserve already which can last another 60km +/-

For carb bike like S4 will enjoy abit of performance gain in cool weather, rainy days or at night when the air is cooler, why?

 

Physics 101, cool air has slightly more oxygen content percentage compare to warm air thus greater potential energy. When cooler air is mixed with fuel spray and feed into the combustion chamber and ignited, it will expand more than warm air thus releasing greater amount of energy per cm2 of air.

 

Thats why air compressed from a turbocharger must be cooled sufficiently via an aftercooler b4 it is force feed into the combustion chamber if not it will rob horsepower or worst pre ignite b4 the plugs can fire causing severe engine damage.

 

Btw if u feed pure oxygen into the engine, a single spark from ur plugs will dis-integrate ur engine block together with u along...

 

wow!!! chim..but thx!! :thumb:

my vtec go 412km pump for 17.5liter btw how much can vtec pump some say 18.5liter so izzit truth??
fuel tank capacity is 18l with 3l as reserve. the tank can hold slightly more than 18l. i dunno abt the exact amount, should be ard 18.5l. but dun pump too much as will overflow and is a waste.

in sg, sound fast look fast is enough. run fast fine fast die fast.

FC will also be affected with the sprockets that is being used. Why I say this is because S4 does not use the front wheel to measure the mileage and speed. If sprockets are changed to smaller or bigger ones, will affect it. The best way is to use Original Teeth Sprockets or add a meter that can measure mileage using the front wheel.

 

Distance will also affect the FC. Eg. Last time I work nearby only have to travel about 10km to and fro, my spec III top up petrol about 2 weeks once and can only clock about 270km before reserve. Now working further about 70km to and fro, clocking about 340km before reserve.

 

The most accurate and best way is to measure using the front wheel. Any person wanna add on? Just my 2 cents.

how much u pump first? v twin s4? wad a fc. when is ur last wash and tune carb? guess is ur jetting needles become straw. petrol free flow.

i think there's definately something wrong with your bike.. 18L for 280km?? normal FC for vtec should be in the 280-320km for 15L.. unless you are using a yoshi carb, or your mech set it until super big..

 

how's your throttle response? very sensitive? power surge?

 

tell your mech abt the FC problem.. see if he can solve it..

maybe. becos during running in, speed is slow and up gear at low rpm. so shouldnt have high fc.

I always pump full tank (Esso F1 Petrol) in Malaysia and normally travel abt 90 - 100 km/h in Sgp Expressway.

By the way, again, i am riding Spec II

 

Can advise? :cry:
