[Discussion] Technical - Fuel Consumption

[loyjwe]

its normal to feel this way. anyway, 1 or 2 bar still 230km still ok ma. shd use till it starts blinking even when stationary for awhile already. den see how much is b4 reserve. mine also about 200 210++ when left 2 bar.

[thepunkz]

hey guys, heard from my fren tat for vtec model, when the fuel is in reserve the bars flashes towards the center instead of from left to right. when flashin from left to right actually the tank is still left with around 1 bar. is it true?

[SNapEl]

Flash from the centre = spoil liao... (Unable to get readings from the sensor)

 

It should be a running flash from right to left.

[dragonforce]

With X-1R didn't help meh?...you need greenoil next

yah probably put greenoil next.. as we discussed the other time, when engine is smooth, pple tend to be throttle happy.. i think i too throttle happy already.. haha..

[loyjwe]

ya from manual if flashing from center is got problem le

[eedwinn]

My Spec 2 before reserve can travel 330km. Very accurate every time. Pump around 14L++

[thepunkz]

oh ok, will let my fren knoe tat if flashing from centre means got problem le.

aniwae wats the problem if flashing from centre?

[loyjwe]

not so sure. mayb the sensor connector never plug properly or spoil? just my guess.

[-boy-]

so loyjwe, normally reserve start onli if it is stationary for a while and the meter run from left to right, am i correct? anyway to make the F.C better? cos im riding rather slow nowadays to keep my F.C as high as possible. e.g nv throttle much when moving off, onli travel about 85km/hr, totally nv on vtec....that kind of thing. So, its best if something could be done and some recommended shop to do.

 

ah pek: am still condisdering your suggestion to me...thanks anyway... =)

[loyjwe]

dunno ley. mi everyday on vtec 80% of my journey coz go out my hse TPE till ECP exit east coast to work. highway all on vtec. getting 20-22km/l still. so for mi i think is tyre pressure, chain slack, carb tunning, whether change any after market products anot lor. just IMO.

normally wad should be the tyre pressure???

[Ah Pek]

normally wad should be the tyre pressure???

 

 

Generally best at 250 front/back 290

Up Malaysia long distance 230 front/back 270

 

All above +/- 5 base on total load on bike from 60kg to 150 kg.

[loyjwe]

ya i pump 250 front 290 rear.

[-boy-]

okok....sure. i will check the pressure first. thanks ppl.

[loyjwe]

i pump everytime i pump petrol. meaning every week. mayb u can do that too to maintain the pressure if u got spare 5 mins every petrol pump.

Bros,

 

wanna give BROQUET a try??Super 4 tested and proven to work.

 

Super 4 Version S broquet user review

 

 

 

 

i do not know much abt the science of engines etc.... but i do know that the fuel consumption on my version s improves after i put in 2 pairs of it into my fuel tank.... everthing being the same, my fuel consumption improves from abt 20km/l to 24km/l now, after using it for half a year...

 

super 4 ver s broquet user review

 

 

 

not bad. Full tank ver s increased by 25-30km per litre with it.

I've been using it for 1 year and it does improves my fuel consumption for at least 30km more. Btw, I'm Sean and riding a S4 Spec 1.

Your bike is a victim of heat and friction. Till tank empty should be around 380km or slightly better...need liquid engineering and grounding.

[ashz]

elllo guys....

Check my old post lah..so much to type..everytime repeat I oso want to die liao. If can't find, do visit the non vtec forum..may be can find answer or come one of this weekend morning coffee talk shop session. In the meantime, just take it that "heat" is power robbing and "friction" is 'braking' motion.

Just installed this fuel saving catalyst called blackstone nanoball, heard tat it can improve fc by 10%... Hope it will really improve the fc from my next top up... Current fc for my spec2 is 20km/l...

guess no use one no matter wat u did...the problem is unsolvable.just live with it and don't spend any more money on things that claimed that can improve FC..
