Useful tips to save gas when riding a motorbike

According to research, driving at high speed and then suddenly slowing down will consume about 40% more fuel. Because after braking suddenly, the car will "eat" more gas to accelerate again. In addition, suddenly increasing and decreasing the throttle will cause the excess gas to not be burned completely and be released outside.

You should maintain a steady speed, avoid sudden braking or sudden acceleration. On urban roads, you need to keep a distance of about 2 meters from the vehicle in front, observe red lights from afar to gradually reduce the throttle.

Keep the truck at a moderate weight.

When you carry too much weight on your vehicle, the engine will have to work harder and this leads to more fuel consumption. Therefore, when riding a motorbike, if not necessary, you should only carry a moderate load.

Start the vehicle regularly every morning or after long periods of non-use.

Before operating the vehicle in the morning, you should start the engine, hold the throttle for about 60 - 90 seconds and then go so that oil is pumped into the engine, helping to lubricate the parts and burn fuel better.

If you start and drive immediately, the parts will not have time to pump grease, causing rapid wear. On the other hand, the gasoline will spray a lot but evaporate poorly, low efficiency and consume a lot of fuel. Pay attention to this and make it a habit when driving.

Tire pressure

The amount of air in the tire is maintained at a moderate level, not too soft, which will help the vehicle not to use too much traction when operating, saving a significant amount of fuel. In addition, if the tire pressure is too high, the wheel will wear out quickly, wasting fuel, reducing the life of the vehicle.

Turn off the engine at red lights

Turning off the engine when stopping at a red light for too long not only saves fuel but also helps protect the environment. When stopping at a red light, the car still consumes a certain amount of fuel when moving if the engine is not turned off. But if the red light is less than 30 seconds, you should not turn off the engine because restarting the car will consume more fuel.

In addition, turning off the engine when stopping at a red light to save gas also depends on the type of vehicle as well as the cylinder capacity. If your vehicle is over 150cc, turn off the engine to save gas, if the cylinder capacity is less than 150cc like normal vehicles, let the vehicle idle normally, and should not turn off the engine and then have to restart it when the green light is turned on.

Regular oil changes

Changing motorcycle oil periodically every 1,000 - 1,500 km helps the engine operate stably, cools and protects machine parts, and reduces fuel consumption while traveling.

Avoid potholes on the road

The potholes on the road will cause damage to the engine, sudden changes in speed, and rapid reduction in throttle, causing more fuel consumption. Therefore, when driving, please pay attention to avoid potholes.
