Are Motorcycles Fuel-Consuming?
1 Answers
Motorcycle enthusiasts often notice during daily use that motorcycles of the same displacement can exhibit different fuel consumption performances. This is mainly related to the following factors. 1. Engine: The motorcycle engine determines the vehicle's performance, and the engine technology directly affects the fuel consumption performance. Therefore, the motorcycle's fuel consumption is primarily related to the engine technology. 2. Fuel supply system: In theory, fuel-injected models are certainly more fuel-efficient than carburetor models. Although there may be differences in actual use, these differences are still caused by the technology of the fuel injection system. Hence, the technology of the fuel supply system directly determines the vehicle's fuel consumption performance. 3. Vehicle weight: The lighter the motorcycle's own weight, the lower the corresponding fuel consumption performance. This is mainly because when the vehicle's load is reduced, the driving resistance decreases. 4. Tire specifications: The vehicle's tire specifications are also directly related to the fuel consumption performance. The main reason here is the direct relationship with the vehicle's driving resistance, as wider tires result in greater driving resistance, and vice versa.
