FUEL ECONOMY FOR A MOTORBIKE – DO’S & DONT’S

In order to get the maximum mileage from your motorcycle you should keep the following points in mind.

DO’s

• Drive at steady speed (between 40 to 50 km/hr)
• Maintain correct tyre pressure
• Adjust drive chain tension correctly
• Get your engine tuned and motorcycle serviced regularly by a Hero Honda authorized dealer

• Do not keep the clutch lever pressed while riding
• Do not run the engine in low gear for long times
• Do not park your motorcycle under direct sunlight as it causes evaporation of petrol
• Do not keep brake pedal pressed while riding
• Do not raise the engine rpm during traffic halts
• Switch off the engine if the halt is for more than 30 seconds
• Do not cover Inlet of Air Filter assembly
• Do not cover the engine in the front and sides. This may restrict the smooth air flow to the engine fins required for air cooling and the engine may run at a higher temperature.
