is 27km per litre good?

[mojito]

Hi all.. I just bought a 125cc suzuki bike, just want to know whether is 27km per litre petrol consumption good? or just average?

 

I ride not more than 60 on normal roads, expressway around 70-80

 

do advise.. thank you!!

[YanYan]

heya..

 

for 2b bikes..27km/l is pretty o-k i guess..

 

cups should top at 40km/l..

 

sportsbikes mid twenties...

 

rxz 33km/l..

 

thats jus my opinion anyways..

 

most important is personal affordability bro... if u can pay, 10km/l also no issues...

 

cheers!

[loufu]

hmm.. mayb abit on the high side... last time my TA150 ard 30km/l.... unless urs is RS125, then 27km/l is ok..

[fleaz]

I thought 125cc bikes don't drink so much petrol?

thats what i understand so far too.. thats why i quite concerned about it..

 

further more i had my carb serviced and such.. so i m puzzled..

[zell_teo]

27km/l for me on a 2b bike is like drink water... cause i my fuel comsup also also there.. but that is i nv wack on pick up.. got to ride damn slow to hit that... comp wif ta200 they wack liao stil can get at least 30km/l.. so of course not that good.. too bad we bought the wrong bike..

[paiseh]

hi, it really depends on wat type of 2b bikes. base on my experience,

 

1. 2strokes (150cc i get 13km/litre to 26km./litre)

2. 4strokes (180cc i get 40km/litre to 53km/l)

3. Vtwin (no comments on this but a 400cc vtwin shaft driven i get 20 - 22km/l)

4. auto transmission (200cc scooter i get 22km - 26km/litre)

[deckard]

get a pulsar! 50km/L almost 2 twice what you are getting! save a lot in the long run.

so i guess mine is quite average..

thanks bro.. but just got the bike not more than 1 month.. so i guess i still have to ride it for a while..

[paiseh]

so i guess mine is quite average..

 

not really. coz u just got ur bike, probably u got to ride a few more times and get used to it. so u have to adjust ur riding habits b4 u can judge ur FC.

true,.. haaha.. cause i still havent really get used to the bike yet

maybe after a while when i can handle better the i can really seee how much my FC is..

[buttbutt8]

To TS: i tink ur FC of 27km/l is very very poor for a 4 stroke 2b bike

[fattsum]

my wave is about 25 - 30 only leh... depend on how agresive i ride it... i guess it quite normal ba..

[stsoh]

there r several factors tat affects fc.

1) carb settings.

2) airfilter.

3) habits of your riding (throttling).

 

1) carb settings:

there r three main adjustments:

a) pilot or air screw setting, this adjust fuel meters into the engine at 0~1/2 throttle.

b) jet-needle's eclip at which slot, normally there r 5 slots on the jet-needle where top is lean n bottom is rich, this meters fuel flow at 1/4~3/4 throttle.

c) main-jet orific comes in various hole sizes in nos. like #98, #100, #102, etc. this meters fuel to engine at max throttle.

 

2) airfilter:

oem filters r normally made of paper element n dispose after 20,000km.

if u r using recycle airfilters like KNN or BMC, it is washable with their cleaning kit.

choked airfilter will increase fuel consumption, as lesser air r suck into the engine.

 

3) habits of your riding (throttling):

u save 17% if u ride at 80kph compare to riding at 100kph.

save more fc if u ride at 60 kph constant speed.

all bikes/cars/trucks/buses vehicle catalogue with printed average fuel consumption r tested at speed of 45 kph.

tat is why they look so good on papers.

[zell_teo]

haha.. im riding scooter.. the fuel is like drinking sia comp to S4 which normally hit 21-22km/l... if got money i may consider puslar.. petrol saving one mth to 2wk go station once nia.. hahah

[YEN96]

my krr doing about 27-30 km/L

 

Tat means full tank easily hit 300km and above

 

tat is conservative riding...RPM max 5000....change gear abt 4000

[JetGrey]

Yeah.. Even CBR150 can get 40++ km/l. And I'm whacking 70 km/h on normal road, 100 km/h on expressways.

27km/l for me on a 2b bike is like drink water... cause i my fuel comsup also also there.. but that is i nv wack on pick up.. got to ride damn slow to hit that... comp wif ta200 they wack liao stil can get at least 30km/l.. so of course not that good.. too bad we bought the wrong bike..

 

then wad is 12.5km/l ??? petrol doraemon?
