What Are the Reasons for High Fuel Consumption in Scooter Motorcycles?

[DeColeman]

Motorcycle fuel consumption may be high due to excessive idling speed or low tire pressure causing increased friction between the tires and the ground. Generally, a motorcycle's fuel consumption should fall within the range specified in the manual. However, improper use, maintenance, or adjustments can often lead to a significant increase in fuel consumption. Below are additional details regarding fuel consumption: Incorrect ignition timing (too late or too early): If ignition occurs too early, the air-fuel mixture burns prematurely, creating resistance against the piston's upward movement and wasting some effective thermal energy, resulting in reduced engine power and increased fuel consumption. Low fuel octane rating: Using gasoline with too low an octane rating can easily lead to higher fuel consumption. Generally, gasoline with a higher octane rating has better combustion performance. Therefore, it is important to select the correct fuel type as specified in the manual.
