How to Check How Much Fuel is Left in a Motorcycle?
2 Answers
Reset the odometer to zero after each refueling and record how much fuel was used for how many kilometers traveled, or download a fuel consumption calculation app to compute the fuel consumption through the software. Here is some extended information about motorcycles: 1. Pros and Cons of Oil-Cooled Motorcycle Engines: (1) Advantages: Significant cooling effect with low failure rate; lower oil temperature can reduce the viscosity degradation of oil at high temperatures. (2) Disadvantages: There are restrictions on the engine oil quantity; the oil cooler cannot be too large, as an oversized cooler may cause excessive oil to flow into it, leading to insufficient lubrication at the engine bottom. 2. Precautions: (1) The oil cooling area should be reasonably selected, and the installation position must also be appropriate; the installation method must be correct. (2) The specific oil cooling effect varies with each machine; oil cooling tests should be conducted under the guidance of professionals.
I've been riding motorcycles for decades, and experience tells me that checking fuel levels requires attention to detail. Most bikes have a fuel gauge on the dashboard—after starting, simply check the needle or digital display, where 'E' means empty and 'F' means full, making it clear at a glance. For older models without a fuel gauge, the reserve fuel switch is a lifesaver: if the bike suddenly loses power while riding, turning the switch to the reserve position allows you to use the reserved fuel at the bottom to ride another ten kilometers or so, but don’t wait until that moment to act. Another method is to open the fuel tank cap after parking and turning off the engine, visually estimating the fuel level or using a dipstick to check the scale. Remember to make it a habit to check fuel levels before riding; for long trips, note the mileage after filling up to estimate the remaining distance. Depending on the bike’s fuel consumption, city riding averages 15-20 kilometers per liter, while highway riding can exceed 25 kilometers. Generally, refuel when the level drops below a quarter to avoid the hassle of running out of fuel mid-ride.
