Start with the essentials
Record distance and litres over several comparable fill-ups. Traffic, load, route and riding style affect the result, so compare similar journeys. A sudden unexplained change is a reason to inspect the bike.
What you can do
- Maintain tyre pressures specified for your load, checking them when the tyres are cold.
- Use smooth acceleration and avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
- Follow the service schedule for filters, brakes and drive components.
Keep in mind
Do not switch off the engine while moving or coast with reduced control. Savings vary; there is no guaranteed percentage improvement.
