What is the fuel consumption of a 400cc motorcycle?
3 Answers
400cc motorcycles typically consume around 4-5L per 100 kilometers. Here is more information about motorcycles: 1. Factors affecting fuel consumption: engine displacement, engine tuning techniques, structural composition, technical level, later riding conditions, and driving habits. 2. Brief description: 400cc displacement motorcycles are all twin-cylinder motorcycles, with a maximum engine power of 30.5/9500 and a maximum torque of 35.4/7650. 400cc displacement motorcycles are absolutely sufficient in terms of power, and motorcycles of this displacement are more than adequate as a means of transportation, as they can basically meet the needs of high-speed driving and overtaking. However, the noise of the motorcycle is relatively loud when the engine is running at high speeds.
I know all about the fuel consumption of 400cc motorcycles, having ridden bikes for over a decade and tried various brands. Generally, fuel efficiency ranges between 20 to 40 kilometers per liter. Traffic jams in urban areas are particularly fuel-intensive, sometimes yielding barely over 20 kilometers per liter, while highway cruising can exceed 35 kilometers. Take my Yamaha 400 series for example—it averages between 25 to 30 kilometers per liter. If you frequently accelerate hard and brake aggressively, fuel consumption spikes immediately. However, maintaining proper tire pressure, regular oil changes, and keeping the engine clean can save you a significant amount on fuel. The 400cc displacement strikes a good balance, making it ideal for daily riding with more consistent fuel efficiency compared to smaller or larger displacements. On long trips, I’ve tested it myself—a full tank easily covers 200 kilometers, and the monthly fuel cost averages just around a hundred bucks, making it both economical and hassle-free.
I just got a 400cc motorcycle and I'm quite concerned about fuel consumption. The dealer said it averages about 25 to 30 kilometers per liter, and after riding my new bike for a few weeks, I found it's actually around 28 km/L. There are many influencing factors: in the city with frequent traffic lights, it drops to just over 20 km/L; on suburban roads with smoother rides, it can go up to 30 km/L. As a beginner, aggressive acceleration or braking can easily spike fuel consumption, so I've learned to ride more gently. Monthly fuel costs are quite low, roughly half that of a car, and I don't have to worry about parking. When choosing the bike, I considered the engine type—water-cooled with electronic fuel injection tends to be more fuel-efficient. Overall, the fuel consumption is manageable, making it great for daily rides.
