How you use your motorcycle will determine its fuel efficiency. Here are some tips.

1. Avoid too much acceleration and putting brakes suddenly as these affect mileage, damage the mechanics and waste fuel.

2. Drive at a constant steady speed. You can expect an average of 85-90 miles per gallon from an 80cc 4-stroke motorcycle. Cars cannot beat the fuel efficiency of a sports bike that can give something like 35 mpg because it is so designed and low in weight.

3. Cut down on unnecessary trips on your motorcycle.

4. Jot down changes in mileage that the bike offers.

5. If you use your motorcycle to go to work, avoid driving during peak hours when traffic is high. You can change your route to one that has lesser chances of traffic jams. Stop and start functions increase the fuel consumption of any vehicle.

6. Maintain a service record of the motorcycle.

7. If waiting at traffic lights or caught in a traffic jam, switch off engine.

8. Always go for good quality engine oil as impure oil can reduce fuel efficiency. Same rule also applies for gas.

9. Regular cleaning and servicing of the motorcycle keeps fuel efficiency at high levels.

10. Regularly checking the pressure of air in the tires helps avoid friction on roads. This reduces the use of acceleration power thus giving a better mileage to the vehicle.

11. Organize trips so that you can reduce the number of stoppages.

12. Highway travel offers roads that are flat, where it is easy to maintain a steady driving speed without unnecessary acceleration and this is a sure way to increase the mileage you get out of your motorcycle.

13. Avoid keeping the engine idling over long periods. This can be a drain on fuel.

14. Organize your routine so that you do not allow the engine to cool off too long before starting the engine again.
A cold engine consumes more fuel to warm up.

15. All these tips will keep your motorcycle in good shape and offer high fuel efficiency.
