try asking ard there maybe others who encountered it b4

hi bro,

 

my style of riding usually nv drag much when top up full fuel.. small roads n expressways also travel, i change gear at abt 4k rpm.. expressways speed average 100km/h cruising..

 

only when my fuel left 2 bar then i will start to drag for vtec open which 6500 to 7000 rpm and also expressways abt 120km/h till reserve tank..

 

maybe u can try it out? cheers...!!!

 

ohh.

 

mine i change gear at 6-8rpm. minor/major road/e-way. VTEC confirm will open even if the traffic light is like 100 m away. LOL

 

and i still manage to clock 300 then hit reserve. full tank is 350/360. with that kind of quite harsh riding style.

[sahlan]

just got the bike 8mths ago, 2nd hand. when i got it, they change eo and spark plug for me le. after 6000+km(3 mths), i chged my eo and oil filter. now still at 4500km only. the prob mayb since previous owner ba. any recommended workshop to go to?

honestly, i feel i would like to take care of my bike if i got it for 2nd hand. u got to do your own research, so you dont get chop! of course we can give our views too

 

Just read up and you could try on the different EO available to suits your riding style and needs.

what the dyno jet kit for anyway? just ride the way you want to ride bro. i'm just happy if i can clock 330 at least full tank with my kind of riding style LOL.

 

i have yet to try the gear change at 4RPM and, eway travel at 100. i wonder how much mileage i can clock. If i do try it i get back. Maybe can share some info/knowledge. maybe it could be my tyres/EO and etc that helps with the fc.

[ayoasti]

dyno jet kits...duno hw to explain guess the bros here know hw to.

From what i know for better acceleration but high consumption.

[binaryzero_1]

Just wanna share... riding spec 2 wif leovince endcan... went to pump when my gauge showing 1 bar left... pumped full tank.. it only shows 11Litre... that means 1 bar still got abt 8 litre more ? plus reserve??

to tell u frankly, sometimes u just cant trust the bar...

[fierra]

double post.........................

[fluzzy]

HAHAHAHA, my spec 3 now 330km then just hit reserve. confirm can clock 390km FULL TANK. have yet to try!

 

quite surprise it improve so much! from 290 for 15l. to 330 for 15l.

 

i use liquid molly,valve cleaner for the last oil pump. but im still testing it this week without the valve cleaner. see the diff.

 

*one way to test your bike full tank mileage. is firstly pump full tank and reset the mileage. Next get a petrol tin and pump it with petrol and carry it with you (put into a bag pack pref). then ride for e whole day till your tank is dry. then you know your bike mileage and how the damn bar works. how far u can travel when it's reserve. it's a one time 'experiment' that last a lifetime.

 

Just a suggestion!

 

then use the tin that has been filled with petrol to pour into the tank and head to the nearest petrol kiosk or JB

Valve cleaner to clean your valves and carb every quarterly (that's what I usually do). It gives good results in term of response, FC and nice crisp exhaust sound.

Well, head down to Equipment Extreme to get your LiquiMoly 4T-Bike-Additiv a.k.a valve cleaner.

[thrasher]

lets see... my fc has improved a WHOLE LOT. im riding vtec 3. i pump only petronas ron 97. i don't open vtec unless necessary these days. riding on expressways 80% of the time. maintain rpm at 6. occassionally 6.5 to 7. no excessive revving. no harsh gear changes. i'm getting 345km before i hit reserve. riding with pillion 75% of the time. combined weight is about 160kg. 1 thing to note is, my mileage fc improved after using AP engine oil. im very surprised really. satisfied? definitely.

 

Superstock. No grounding. No Additives. No aftermarket endcans/fullsystem. Stock exhaust was modified by previous owner.

[thrasher]

previously i was getting 300km before i hit reserve

thanks for the advice!

[Fazli]

No prob... Just sharing how I troubleshoot my bike...

[fluzzy]

UPDATE! i ride without valve cleaner i get about 300+ for 15l.

 

so with valve cleaner im getting more mileage with the same riding style VTEC must open then change gear

 

it works for my bike. not sure about others
