Mistakes that make motorbikes consume more gas

Fuel consumption is a common phenomenon in old motorbikes when the fuel conversion efficiency of the vehicle is reduced. In addition, fuel consumption also comes from some habits of the driver.

Using the brakes too much, braking suddenly often

Many drivers have the habit of going fast and braking suddenly when encountering obstacles. Braking suddenly and continuously causes the system to quickly lose inertia, thereby increasing fuel consumption.

This habit also causes the unburned gasoline to suddenly stop, the kinetic energy turns into heat energy and overheats the engine, causing the car to consume more gasoline than usual.

Screw the gas to go when the light is green

Many people have the habit of accelerating to move forward when the green light comes on. In fact, the faster you accelerate, the more fuel you consume. Therefore, to save gas, the driver should accelerate slowly until reaching the required speed. Accelerating slowly and shifting gears smoothly will help save gas and protect the engine and gearbox.

Not shifting when needed

Manual motorbikes usually have 4 gears to suit different speeds. If the driver does not downshift when the motorbike encounters an obstacle, stops or climbs a hill, the motorbike will lose power and consume more fuel.

If the car goes slower than the gear, the car will be sluggish, heavy, difficult to move and also consumes fuel. You should use the appropriate gear for the speed to ensure that the fuel is burned moderately, not wasting fuel.

Leave the engine running at red lights

Some people have the habit of leaving the engine running when stopping at a red light because they think restarting it will consume more gas. This may be true, but with the new electronic fuel injection system equipped on many motorbike models, each time the engine is started, it uses very little gas, in case the engine has been warmed up.

Meanwhile, every minute the car is idling will consume nearly 1 km more fuel. However, that does not mean that the engine should always be turned off when stopping the car. If the time is short, it is better to let the car run.

Overload

One of the habits of users that leads to abnormal fuel consumption is overloading the vehicle. This puts a lot of pressure on the vehicle's operating system, causing the gasoline engine to burn more fuel, and the vehicle uses more gasoline.

Therefore, you should only carry the correct load recommended by the manufacturer to keep the vehicle durable and operate more stably.

Under- or over-inflated tires

Very few car owners pay attention to tire pressure. They only pump up when the tire is too low, which not only causes the car to wear out quickly, but also easily leads to dangerous situations and wastes a lot of fuel.

When the tire is over-inflated or under-inflated, it will cause the tire surface to rub against the road more, increasing the tire's stiffness and burning more fuel.

Ride unevenly

The habit of driving at an irregular speed will hinder the fuel conversion system and cause it to operate unstably. At that time, more fuel is pushed into the combustion chamber.
