[Discussion] Technical - Fuel Consumption

[LordDevil]

kind of high. should be able to hit 340 b4 reserve. how is ur riding style? how much u pump?

 

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?

wad is ur riding style? u maintain

[ck80ck]

Malaysia Shell V-power

ard 300 juz nice blink . think plus reserve ard 340 range .

Tyres got a part to play , last time forget to pump air , consumption like **** .

 

Wau lau, malaysia vpower evaporate too fast so i had changed to Esso.

But anyway wat the pressure to pump the tyres? they say can check on the tyres have indicate the pressure to pump air but i cant find mine leh

pls advise

 

wad is ur riding style? u maintain

 

or is it i always run abt 150 - 200km/h (sometime clear meter) back from the petrol station to 2nd link SGP checkpoint, then after in SGP i keep to 90 -100 km/h maybe then my mileage of a full tank can only clock 300 click due the opening of vtec from Malaysia to SGP

Pls advise

rider alone front 33 rear 36, with pillion front 36 rear 42. i dun think the short distance of blasting will affect so much. at wad rpm u up gear?

Normally at around 5 - 6k, i will up my gear.

Anyway thanks for the advise on the tyres pressure

ur jettings are original size? full system? some rear tires cant pump 42. u must check b4 pumping.

[ck80ck]

all original, think some say spec II vtec open at 6350rpm, but i think its at around 6500 rpm to 6750rpm according to the feedback from my other spec II friends. correct me if i am wrong. so maybe is could be the casue of higher consumption?

as for the tyres, front 32 back 34 should be enough as i alway pillion my gf.

thanks for the advices.....

 

cheers

if u change gears at 5k rpm and maintain 100km/h at eway, u should have gd fc. the air pressure is not enough.

I'm currently hitting only ard 300km for 15l, Sg's Caltex Techron 95. 90kmh on normal rds, 120kmh on eways. Seldom open Vtec on 1-5th gear. Gear shift at 4rpm.

 

Tried Msia's Shell Economy last Wed. Opened Vtec more frequent than usual. Same speed on normal rds and eways. Seemed that it can last a further distance. 300km and I still have 1 more petrol bar to go. Cool.

 

Btw any of you know which grade is Msia's Shell Economy? It wasnt stated at the pump..

how much is 1l?

[sky_vinz]

LordDevil: You mean Msia's Shell Economy? It's ard 1.90rm per litre.

[LordDevil]

LordDevil: You mean Msia's Shell Economy? It's ard 1.90rm per litre.

rm1.92? then is 97.

[sky_vinz]

LordDevil: Okie, thks. It seems that Msia's Mobil and Shell only have 2types of petrol, either ron97 or premium. Still, it's weird why their ron97 can outlast Sg Caltex's ron95.

if u change gears at 5k rpm and maintain 100km/h at eway, u should have gd fc. the air pressure is not enough.

 

5k rpm is just slightly below 100k/h leh.

but at wat rpm does spec2 vtec open?

and wats the correct air pressure to pump?

 

pls advice, thanks so much for the advises u had gave:cheeky:

My Spec II with 45T rear sprocket shows around 6.2krpm at 100km/h.

Spec II Vtec should open around 6.350krpm.

Correct air pressure for stock tyres are front 36 PSI and rear 42 PSI(For passenger and also better mileage).

[smiley73]

My PB1 pump Sg Caltex Techron 95 machine stock hit reserve 350.

 

after fitting full sys fuel consumptiom same. After gg thru over haul consumption better 360 km .

 

mine now ave about 24km/L

[ghost04]

til now i yet to achieve a consumption of 25km/l on my bike. max i achieve was 23km/l.

ard 103-105km/h there vtec open liao.

5k rpm is 80km/h. correct me if anyone else differs.

Agree with both

[SMR]

The max I have achieved is 24km/l, but really no point because it's under controlled riding and seldom do I go long distance riding to get that FC.

Under SG heavy traffic jams, the FC will never get better...

[ck80ck]

Thanks all for the reply !!

hey bros,

when its hit about 100km/h, my rpm is between 6350 to 6450 liao leh

so had to say if i open throttle a bit more, then the vtec will open rite?

[LordDevil]

LordDevil: Okie, thks. It seems that Msia's Mobil and Shell only have 2types of petrol, either ron97 or premium. Still, it's weird why their ron97 can outlast Sg Caltex's ron95.

mobil f1 is better. in sg i dun pump caltex so no comment on this.

 

5k rpm is just slightly below 100k/h leh.

pls advice, thanks so much for the advises u had gave:cheeky:

i know wad speed is 5k rpm at gear 6. spec 2 opens vtec at 6350 rpm. rider alone front 33 rear 36, with pillion front 36 rear 42. but make sure the rear tire can pump 42.

My S4 Vtec 3 is new with only about 150 km mileage. Last Saturday, went to Kukup with wife as pillion and before starting the journey in JB, filled up to full tank with CALTEX Techron 97. After travelling for an overall 207.2 km (at maximum 4.5k rpm (approx 70km/h) and changing up gears at 3k to 3.5k rpm), I returned to top up again to full tank at the same petrol kiosk. I spent RM15.00 or 7.8125 (15/1.92) litres. Hence, my FC for this trip is about 26.51km/l (207.2/7.8125), which, I must admit, is satisfactory. My tire pressure is also quite high at 50 psi for both front and rear. Probably that also played a part towards the good FC.

50? take care.
