What is the fuel consumption of a 125cc motorcycle?
2 Answers
125cc motorcycles consume approximately 12 liters of fuel. A motorcycle is a nimble and fast means of transportation, powered by a gasoline engine and steered by handlebars to control the front wheel's direction. It comes in two or three-wheeled variants, offering light weight, flexibility, and high speed, making it widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transport, and sports equipment. Daily maintenance methods for motorcycles include: 1. During the break-in period, keep the motorcycle idle at 100 RPM; 2. Match the gear with the speed; 3. When braking is required due to obstacles ahead, release the throttle, press the rear brake with your right foot, and gently apply the front brake with your right hand; 4. Regularly inspect the spark plug; 5. When installing a new spark plug, hand-tighten it until it cannot be turned further, then use a spark plug socket to tighten it an additional quarter to half turn; 6. Regularly lubricate the chain.
As a veteran rider of a 125cc motorcycle, I've used this bike on various road conditions and found the fuel consumption typically ranges between 1.8 to 2.5 liters per 100 kilometers. In urban areas with frequent traffic lights, consumption tends to be higher, reaching up to 2.5 liters; while cruising at a steady speed on highways, it can drop to around 1.8 liters. Factors affecting fuel consumption include riding habits—such as aggressive acceleration and frequent braking, which can increase consumption by 0.2-0.3 liters; low tire pressure can add over 0.1 liter; and poor maintenance like a dirty air filter or old spark plugs also raise fuel usage. For daily use, I usually fill up the tank and record my trips, making it easier to estimate maintenance and refueling needs and avoid roadside embarrassments. Additionally, using less air conditioning in summer results in relatively lower fuel consumption, and proper warm-up during winter starts can save fuel.
