[pyro13]

guys..wat contributes to bad FC ar??

 

my spark FC like quite cialat..

 

36km per litre..

 

normal average sppeed abt 100 to 110 bah

[SmallCC]

"Great engine power, comes great fuel consumption".

The air filter affects FC, stock paper filter can barely let air past through.

Throttle style. If you are like those when turns green light and chiong until no tomorrow style of riding.

Like to rev until the engine cannot tahan then change gear.

Chiong and brake then chiong and brake.....

In the wrong gear and still open throttle fully.

 

All these increase FC.

My KSR FC is 55km per litre. Full tank can tahan 400km.

[pyro13]

wait, ;ets sat gear 4 but at sped 40..den whack ful..still FC affected??

[SmallCC]

Not sure. Depends on your gear ratio.

[Cool-Clown]

I was wondering why suddenly my fuel wen to Reserved.......yest.

 

I forgot that, the last time i top up my fuel was last Friday. hahahha. wat stupid of mee.....Juz now morning that realise the truth.

Six ways to ride fuel-efficiently

 

 

 

• Ride using the bike's momentum and do not pin the throttle wide open. You need to ride smoothly.
  
• Avoid red-lining your motorcycle, as there's no advantage to be gained doing this. The higher you rev, the more petrol you use.
  
• Keep your tyres correctly inflated and your motorcycle chain correctly tightened. This will cause less drag when you're riding.
  
• Do not brake or accelerate suddenly. And do not overload your motorcycle. Boxes create a lot of drag when you ride.
  
• Get your motorcycle serviced regularly to ensure that your engine is running efficiently. Problems with the fuel line, clogged air filter or even worn parts in the engine can increase petrol consumption.
  
• Do not keep your motorcycle idling for too long. If you're not moving or waiting for somebody, turn the ignition off or just park your motorcycle.

Here are some tricks to help you get your money's worth.

 

 

 

1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning when the temperature is still cool. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. In

the petroleum business, the specific gravity and temperature of the fuel (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products) are significant. Every truckload that we load is temperature-compensated so that the indicated gallonage is actually the amount pumped. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations don't have temperature compensation at their pumps.

 

 

 

2. If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up

when gas is being delivered, and you might be transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank.

 

 

 

3. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty), because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm. (Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 'roof' membrane to act as a barrier between the gas and the atmosphere, thereby minimizing evaporation.)

 

 

 

4. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting. You should be pumping at the slow setting, thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered. If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains more vapor, which is being sucked back into the underground tank, so you're getting less gas for your money.

 

 

 

Hope this will help ease your pain at the pump! Worth the try
