Fatal mistakes of users cause motorbikes to consume gas abnormally

Fuel consumption is a common phenomenon with many motorbikes after a long time 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 the brakes too much, braking suddenly

Many people have the habit of always holding the brake pedal 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 yet burned to stop suddenly, 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 cleaning it regularly 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 with the road surface, increasing the tire's resistance, causing more fuel consumption.

Not downshifting when necessary

Manual transmission vehicles usually have 4 gears with different speeds. If you use the right speed and gear, fuel is burned moderately without wasting gasoline. If you drive faster than the gear, the vehicle will be weaker and more powerful, 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 gasoline.

Improper use of handcuffs and throttle cables

When the throttle cable is squeaky, you have to move it a greater distance 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 fuel consumption more because the designer produces the car to run on the road, so if the car is left standing, it will waste fuel.

Riding a motorbike without steady throttle

Driving at an irregular speed, making it difficult to control the vehicle, is dangerous for the vehicle owner 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 usually takes more time, takes longer to start, is harder to start than before. While driving, the motorbike often suddenly turns off, stops and is difficult to start again.

Frequent spark plug problems and spark plugs that are black or wet.

When the car slows down, there is a noise like an explosion in the car. The car has difficulty accelerating, has low payload, and often makes strange noises.

When checking, the engine is abnormally hot during operation or the smoke is black and makes the user's eyes sting. The valve is worn, pitted or dirty.

Sometimes there are signs of the car's brakes being stuck or having difficulty braking. The exhaust makes an unusual popping sound when driving.
