a. Maintain your Motorbike |
| |
|
| |
 |
Keep air filters clean |
| |
Check your air filters regularly and replace the clogged ones |
| |
|
|
Check Tyre pressure |
| |
Not only is a properly inflated tyre safer, but it also boosts your mileage. |
|
| |
|
| |
b. Ride Efficiently |
| |
|
| |
|
Avoid aggressive riding |
| |
The less gears you shift, the less jerking back and forth you do, the more fuel conservation. |
| |
|
|
Try to keep your RPM’s within the power band |
| |
In different makes and different models this will be slightly different, experiment a bit to find that sweet RPM spot where your bike operates optimally. |
| |
|
|
Cut down on the revving |
| |
This is one of the best ways to save on fuel consumption so save the money! |
| |
|
|
Make your bike lighter |
| |
The lighter your bike, the less the engine needs to work to propel you through the space time continuum - thus, the less fuel you’ll burn. |
| |
|
|
Tighten up |
| |
Zip your jacket and if your helmet has a face mask pull it down. Clothes flapping in the wind, or anything for that matter, will increase your air friction and decrease your fuel mileage. |
|
| |
|
| |
c. Plan your rides |
| |
|
| |
| |
Do your best to avoid traveling when the roads are going to be packed and filled with other traffic. The more obstructions on the road, the less you’ll be able to adhere to other fuel saving tips and the more fuel you’ll be burning. |
|
| |
|
| |
d. Smart Fuelling |
| |
|
| |
|
Buy Fuel in the Morning |
| |
Fuel is denser during the morning when temperatures are colder. Petrol pumps measure and charge by volume, not density. You’ll be getting more solid fuel rather than vapors for your money. |
| |
|
|
Avoid Topping-Off |
| |
Wait until your tank is at least half-full before you fill it up. You pay extra for short- bursts of fuel. |
| |
|
|
Tighten the Fuel Cap |
| |
Twist the cap until you hear it click. This prevents fuel from evaporating and escaping. |
