Maintain Speed with a pillon as same RPM

[silverwing73]

Hi

 

Just wanna find out whether if we are riding with a pillon travelling at 5K RPM; would that actually fuel ecomical as compared going at higher RPM say 6K RPM or it is actually consuming more petrol instead reving at 5K RPM to carry the pillon?

 

I know that with pillon, more petrol is needed to push the bike but to maintain it constant around 5 - 5.5K RPm, would that consume even more ?

 

Just really curious.

I think the consumption should be the same or a bit less. It is only during moving do you have press more petrol. Once reach Terminal Velocity should be OK. It will take longer time to reach your target speed. This also depends on who you are hauling. Shape and size do play an important part. But should be almost same consumption if you ride alone.

Terminal Velocity?

how fast u going brother?

hahah

Gravity still exists though~ definitely more than if u are riding alone.

think it shd be straight forward..once got pillion sure FC go up..e energy needed to carry e extra load must come from somewhere...

 

but i agree with IvikaRazI..once reach high speed, bike feels " lighter"..so u might feel that you are not using too much petrol...feel only,true or not, im not too sure...

X9hopeful, put it simply is this. the faster the acceleration, the more petrol burned. The heavier the load, all the more petrol burned. Example: The faster you run 100m, the more energy burned. If you carry a heavy bag and run the same timing, you'll burn even more energy, right? Simple physics.

 

Force downwards = 9.81 X Mass(kg). The greater the force, the more energy needed.
