How to Improve the Fuel Efficiency of Your Motorcycle

Riding your bike down an open road can be a thing of pure joy, but all that riding around guzzles up fuel. After a while, that can get pretty costly. We’re sure you’ve wondered how to make your motorcycle more fuel efficient and we have some easy recommendations for you in this brief guide.

Keep a Track of the Mileage

The first step in making your bike more fuel efficient is to keep an eye on the numbers. You should have a fair idea of how much fuel your bike consumes per mile. Any dip in the number could mean you have to take your bike for an inspection by a mechanic. Changes in fuel consumption will also show you how your riding habits affect your efficiency. You can make a few adjustments to your riding style to improve fuel efficiency.

Keep the Air Filter Clean

When your motorcycle is running on a dirty air filter, it has to work twice as hard to get the job done. And this increases your fuel consumption. Simply cleaning the air filter can drastically improve your motorcycle’s performance. When you perform maintenance, make it a point to also replace the filter.

Maintain The Engine

Keeping your engine in tip-top condition should be a no-brainer. An engine that’s not serviced regularly is only going to consume much more fuel. Pay close attention to your motorcycle engine. Any odd sounds, vibrations, or poor performance issues should be addressed immediately.
