Fatal mistakes of users cause motorbikes to consume gas abnormally
Using the brakes too much, braking suddenly, leaving the air filter too dirty... are mistakes that make motorbikes consume gas abnormally.
Fuel consumption is a common phenomenon with many motorbikes after a long period of use. However, many new motorbikes that have not been in use for long still experience this phenomenon. The cause may be due to user error.
Driving on the road using too much brake, sudden brake
Many people have the habit of always holding the brake on their motorbike. Although this action ensures safety in case of an accident, if overused, it will quickly damage the vehicle.
In addition, sudden braking also causes the system to reduce inertia, increase speed and increase power consumption. At the same time, sudden braking causes the fuel that has not been burned to suddenly stop, the kinetic energy turns into heat energy, heating the engine, causing the vehicle's fuel consumption system to consume more fuel.

Let the air filter get too dirty
Leaving the air filter system too dirty without regular cleaning will hinder the vehicle's fuel conversion process, causing it to consume more gas when filtering the air.
Driving with over- or under-inflated tires
Many people often do not pay attention to tires, so they often leave them too low or too high, which is not good. Under-inflated or over-inflated tires cause the tire surface to rub more against the road, increasing the tire's resistance, causing more fuel consumption.
Not downshifting when needed
Manual transmission vehicles usually have 4 gears with different speeds. If you use the right speed and gear, fuel is burned moderately without wasting gas. If you drive faster than the gear, the vehicle will be weaker and more aggressive, and if you drive slower than the gear, the vehicle will be sluggish, making the vehicle heavier, making it difficult for you to drive and consuming more gas.
Improper use of handcuffs and throttle cables
When the throttle cable is squeaky, you have to move it a little further and then release it immediately, causing the vehicle to consume more fuel.
Not changing spark plugs regularly
Spark plugs are the ignition part of the car. If not replaced regularly, the ignition will be poor, making it harder to start the car and consuming more gas.
Do not turn off the engine when stopping the car
When stopping the car, not turning off the engine but still leaving it running is a habit that many people have. This makes the fuel consumption more because the car is designed to run on the road, so if the car is left standing, it will waste fuel.
Riding a motorbike without steady speed
Driving at an irregular speed is an erratic and difficult to control vehicle that puts the vehicle owner in danger and hinders the fuel conversion system.
Signs of abnormal fuel consumption in motorbikes
When a motorbike consumes gas abnormally, there will also be many signs that users need to pay attention to in order to handle it promptly:
Every time starting a motorbike, it usually takes more time, takes longer to start, and is harder to start than before. While driving, the motorbike suddenly turns off, stops, and is difficult to start again.
Frequent spark plug problems and black or wet spark plugs.
When the car slows down, there is a noise like an explosion in the car. The car has difficulty accelerating, has a low load capacity, and often makes strange noises.
When checking, the engine is abnormally hot during operation or the car smoke is black and makes the user's eyes sting. The valve stem is worn, pitted or dirty.
Sometimes there are signs of the car's brakes being stuck or difficult to brake. The exhaust when driving makes an unusual popping sound.
