i tried discipling myself to low rpm chnge gear and maintain arnd 95 - 105 on highways ...

 

managed a personal bike record of 320km b4 fuel gauge start to flick continously frm internimttenly ...

 

Anyway, any of u guys feel that the spec i / ii fuel gauge not so accurate when on 4th and 5th bar ?? i find that the lst, 2nd and 6th bar seems to appear the longest .. then 5th bar travel like 30-40km go to 4th bar liao ... Machiam 4 / 5 bar for show nia nia ..

That might save petrol, but I think will make the ride very boring woh. But to each his own, I rather spend a few dollars more and whack the bike. My 2 cents only. :D

 

 

discipline yourself to travel at only at about 5k rpm(ie about 80kph only) at sixth gear, change gear at 3rd to 4th gear . u'll surely see an increase in milage. best is to try it after u fill petrol to a full tank.

u can adjust your idling to about 1k, the knob is somewhere under the carb at the centre. u can't see unless u bend down and peek, the knob is shape like a little tap. on your next trip to a bike shop, ask the frenly mech to show and teach. it's hard for me to really describe how to look for it and turn to adjust.

warming up takes about 3 to 5 mins, mine takes about one smoking cigarette :D , if late less than that or just touch the block to feel if it's warm.

dont see the fuel indicator, it is analog one and not accurate, pump only when you need to open your reserve...

to me its not dangerous...when u hit reserve, ur bike will got like no power even if u throttle...then when u feel like tat liao then u quickly maintain throttle n left hand go reach for ur reserve to on it lor then still maintian ur throttle all the while then abt 5secs later u will hav power back....if not then pray hard...j/k

haha

 

1litre can go abt 22-25km at 90-100kmh.

worse case can tahan 20km lor...
