What is the fuel consumption of the 250nk?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of this motorcycle is between 3.2-3.6L per 100 kilometers in urban areas. The fuel consumption of a motorcycle is not only related to the motorcycle itself but also closely tied to the rider's driving habits and the road conditions. The reasons for increasing fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Temperature effects causing fuel consumption fluctuations: Generally, in winter when temperatures are low, fuel consumption increases, almost comparable to the consumption when using air conditioning in summer. This is because lower temperatures cause the engine to dissipate more heat. 2. Lack of regular vehicle maintenance: Dirty engine oil and air filters can also lead to increased fuel consumption. Dirty oil results in poor lubrication, increasing resistance in the engine's moving parts and requiring more energy to overcome this resistance, thus raising fuel consumption. 3. Spark plug replacement needed: Spark plugs are often overlooked. Even if they can still function, worn spark plugs may cause delayed ignition due to insufficient energy, missing the optimal ignition timing.
As someone who frequently commutes on a 250NK, the actual fuel consumption is most reliable at 4-4.5 liters per 100 kilometers. The official figure of 2.1 liters was achieved on a test bench, which is impossible to reach in daily riding. The most fuel-consuming phases are during acceleration and hard-throttle overtaking, with urban areas featuring frequent traffic lights pushing consumption to over 5 liters. Some riders have installed OBD monitors and found that maintaining around 6,000 RPM is the most fuel-efficient, though prolonged use at this RPM isn’t good for the engine. Those who’ve modified their exhaust or flashed the ECU should take note—fuel consumption increases by about 0.8 liters. When I first bought the bike, I tested it: filling up with 11 liters of 95-octane gasoline, the fuel light typically came on after 250 kilometers.
