We will talk about 5 easy tips, which can improve the fuel efficiency of your bike from day one.
1. Regular servicing and cleaning
Get the bike serviced every 2500-3000 km or 3-4 months. Keep the air filter clean, get the spark plugs checked, change the engine oil timely and get the carburetor/fuel injection tuned. Dirty air filter or bad spark plugs can reduce mileage by 10-15%. Keeping the bike clean makes the engine run better and saves fuel.
2. Maintain correct tire pressure
Check the tire air pressure every week and fill it as per the company’s standard (usually 28-32 PSI front, 32-36 PSI rear). Less air increases rolling resistance and consumes more fuel. Correct pressure can improve mileage by 5-10% and safety is also maintained.
3. Use economy speed and correct gear
Most bikes get their best mileage at a speed of 40-60 kmph. Do not drive faster than 80 kmph and change gears at the right time. Running at low RPM in high gear burns less fuel. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking, smooth riding can save up to 15-20%.
4. Correct use of clutch and idle
Do not drive in half clutch and stop pressing and releasing the clutch repeatedly in traffic. If you have to wait at the signal for more than 30-40 seconds, stop the engine. After starting in the morning, warm up only for 20-30 seconds, a cold engine consumes more petrol.
5. Keep the bike light and fill with good fuel
Do not place unnecessary luggage, extra carrier or weight on the passenger seat. Excess weight reduces mileage. Keep the chain clean and lubricated. Always fill from a good petrol pump, avoid adulterated fuel. These small habits make a big difference in the long run. By adopting these 5 easy tips, you will be able to easily increase the mileage of your bike.
