Tips for a better mileage
1. Prompt servicing
Give your vehicle to service when the right time comes. You really dont want your engine components to die and this also includes the filter in your bike. A good filter will give you a good mileage.
2. Throttle
Use the throttle respectfully. Sometimes I find people throttle their vehicle at third gear when the engine is at idle RPM. It will work and the engine will move but why make a small gear in the input shaft move a large one in the output shaft when the engine RPM is too low? That leads to unwanted fuel wastage coz your are forcing the engine to increase its RPM stuck at the third gear.
3. Release the clutch man. Don't keep sticking it towards you all the time....
Ok you are in the first gear, let go off the clutch as your throttle, and release it FULLY when you find that the engine RPM is above 1000. Nothing is gonna damn happen at this stage since it is only in the first gear. A small gear in the input shaft will be stable enough to move a large gear in the output shaft with ease. If you keep pressing the clutch your tend to detach the two shafts and the result is a sheer waste of engine energy and fuel. Why not make use of it.
4. Use the right gear at the right speed
At 25kmph using the fifth gear is insane.
1st Gear - 15 kmph
2nd Gear - 25 kmph
3rd Gear - 35 kmph
4th Gear - 35 - 40 kmph
5th Gear - above 45 kmph
Back shift in the same fashion. Happy riding.
