News FeedHere are some quick suggestions on how you can get the best mileage from your bike:
Bike maintenance
First off, you need to keep your bike well tuned with timely servicing. Keep all the parts of your vehicle oiled and get your bike serviced at recommended intervals. This is because regular servicing is like a regular health check for your bike.
Speed
Maintain optimum speed. For bikes it is economical to go in the 40-60 kmph speed. If you increase speed beyond this, more fuel gets consumed for the same distance.
Riding at slower pace than the optimum at low gears is a very bad practice and it gives a poor mileage to your bike. Therefore, avoid riding bike in low gear as much as possible and always go at optimum speed at the top gear. Gear change at right time gives enhanced mileage for your bike.
Air pressure
Air pressure in tyres should always be maintained at the optimum, as mentioned by the bike manufacturing company. Less air in the tyres leads to increased friction between the road surface and tyres which demands more fuel. Keeping the air pressure of tyres at optimum helps in ensuring less resistance thereby also increasing the fuel efficiency.
Braking
Avoid applying sudden brakes to the extent possible because it tends to waste more energy. It is better to reduce the speed by easing the throttle rather than applying sudden brakes. ‘Smooth’ should be the keyword in accelerating or reducing the speed.
Throttle and clutch
Throttle opening also is important, never open it wide and part open is what gives the best fuel efficiency. Maintain the clutch well, because slipping of clutch wastes lot of fuel.
Starting
Another great tip for proper oil circulation in the engine is to self start the engine and leaving it for a while so the oil gets heated up and can flow easily up to the top of the engine.
Excess is bad
Excess gadgetry such as over sized horns, lights as well as bigger sized tyres too can be a drain on fuel. Avoid adding weight to the bike through heavier guards, heavier visors, crash guards etc. It does have a lot of impact on the mileage.
Fuel filling
Refill the fuel tank during early morning hours as petrol expands by volume with increase in temperature which is a likely result during noon. Additionally, never fill the tank up to the brim of the tank and allow room for expansion.
High octane petrol
Traffic
Then, when you’ve to wait at traffic signals, switch off the engine. Avoid choked roads and if ever possible take on the broad roads and highways where you can enjoy better mileage of your motorbike.
this is good article and you can learn from this
youngsters need to learn from this article, seventy percent of them are extremely poor bikers and dont regard mileage. check the mileage and save the economy!
i wanna tl that never increase u r rpm more than 4-5..and avoid too much use of clutch…and tll u all that i just bought a 180 pulsar and m trying these things my pulsar is giving 40+ milage…without any service..so this out u ll surely get better results…..and always refil u r tank with speed petrol..
sure, i see most of my friends and collegemates performing uneconomical stunts which waste fuel and damage bikes , i rthink you are right, most of our parents and old people are quite, creful and dont cherish speed and stunts, cheers >
Its an good article and Its not only for youngster it is for any one who need good milage and i don’t know from where innocent oyori got the value of 70 percent youngsters r extremly poor bikers just an funny comment by an funny old man… i believe milage conscious is not the only criteria for judging ability of an driver…
i think innocent might be right, we youngsters have got passuion for speed and love racing, although i can say seventy percent may be an approximation of majority but some young people are good bikers.
dev pretends to be ignorant of the fact that youngstars are poor bikers, i know the fact of the matterbvthat at one instance he might have been a victim, for these research search google and make analysis,on accident rates , and age factor analysis, then tell me. for your knowlegde am a young intelligent teenager from a foreign copuntry doing my research and studies, in india. watch out on your provocative language and work hard to improve your english mistakes you wrote here. your language is not fit for an article.
Very gud article… It defines about bike good maintenance and Performance… every one will be benefited by reading dis article…
Hey idiot innocent oyori …Mileage is not atall a criteria to judge a Biker …What Dev said is obvious correct and U r stupid …And Do u need a teenager to ride his brand new Sporty looking bike at low speeds..And Dev didn write an article here..Its juz a comment ..We don bother good english for a comment ..U better go with ur useless research in India and don think u r a superior human..bcxoz u r not..
i understand your feelings but you should not blame yourself because of your race, you should strive to achieve what other indians are doing, race is nothing and i admire many indians for their ingenuity and contribution to humanity and the world as a whole, but as for you, i think you are just a hooligan and a piece of rotten bread coming from some village where you think in terms of rice farms , watch out !
i think tamee is quite arrogant, we were only advising each other on milage and not abusing each otjher.
good article,such a way that yuth can learn
All are flow the artical,save fuel next genaration,
Save fuel – Save Life
ITS VRY GOOD TO HAVE THE HELP LIKE THIS. THE ARTICLES LIKE THIS WILL HELP NEW BIKES TO PERFORM BETTER.
THANKS TEAM
KEEP UPDATING.
i tend to agree with alls in what your discussing here but actually i think tamee sounds rude and uncivilised, your thinking is small and you suld not abuses here, discuss issues and dont be racist, i think your coming is from village.
