[Discussion] Technical - Fuel Consumption

[Lau Teck Seng]

You said $300, then $150-$200, uh so which is it eh?

 

Dear d.r.i,

 

cost is 300--If have many part worn out, need to change!

usally cost about 150~200-- less part to change!

less then 100 if no part to replace/change.

time for waiting is abt 4~5 hours, cos need time for cool down yr bike temp....

[Lau Teck Seng]

Already monitor 4 tank and avarrage 1 full tank is 400k (+- 20km) or 21.7~ 24km/l. calculate base on 17.5l every time fuel added.

Speed for riding between 90~100km/h.

myword is no meanings, try out yr self and you will know it.

Notice: go early like 10~1030am once bike shop is open! cos if go late will more bike come-in.

Who knows, might be running lean on the air fuel ratio. Nevertheless, good for you.

the lesser i take care of my spec 2, the better its FC gets. now im getting avg 23 to 24km/l. most recent tank, 374km in 15.6L, = 23.9km/L. mostly expressway riding style 90-100, semi aggressive with occassional opening of vtec.

 

- at least 2 months never wash bike / lube chain.

- tyre pump once in a long while,

- spark plugs and EO last change was over 12000km ago.

- chain & sprocket last change was 22000km ago

- more than one year never service air filter

As long as VTEC doesn't kick in, the cb400 fuel consumption is actually low. My previous super 4 spec 2 fuel consumption was about 24km/l, which is quite good already.

[gethype]

How can you guys resist not opening vtec? At highway speeds 100km/h on my spec 3 is already within vtec opening range. hehehee

 

Managed to clock 340km on about 15L of fuel. Bone stock except for BMC air filter and GPR end can.
