What is the fuel tank capacity of a underbone motorcycle in liters?
3 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of an underbone motorcycle ranges from 3.5 liters to 4.5 liters. Relevant information about fuel tank capacity is as follows: Fuel tank capacity (L) refers to the size of the fuel tank, which measures a vehicle's ability to carry fuel. Function: The fuel tank capacity determines the driving range. For two cars with identical engines, the one with a larger fuel tank can travel farther. Relevant information about motorcycles is as follows: Motorcycle: A two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle driven by a gasoline engine, steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. It is lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrol, passenger and cargo transportation, and also serves as sports equipment. Classification: Motorcycles are divided into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, touring bikes, etc.
Last time I went on a motorcycle trip with my underbone bike, I realized this issue! Most underbone bikes have fuel tanks between 8-15 liters. For example, the common Yamaha Exciter only has a 4.2-liter tank but is extremely fuel-efficient. When choosing a bike, I specifically compared models: the Honda Winner X has about 7.8 liters, while the Suzuki Raider can reach 12 liters. When refueling, be careful not to fill it up to the tank opening—leave some room for expansion. Once I overfilled it, and under the scorching sun, gasoline overflowed directly from the pressure relief tube. A roadside vendor even thought my bike was leaking oil. Underbone bikes have small tanks but make up for it with low fuel consumption. A full tank can cover over 200 kilometers, which is sufficient. Just remember to check the navigation for gas station distances on long trips.
A motorcycle mechanic with ten years of experience told me that the fuel tanks of underbone bikes in Southeast Asia are generally smaller than those of European models. For example, the Honda Wave125 only has a 3.7-liter tank, but it's sufficient for commuting. Nowadays, the material used is mostly resin plastic, which is lightweight and rust-proof. Some customers often complain about frequent refueling, but upon inspection, it was found that the aging rubber seal on the fuel tank cap caused accelerated fuel evaporation. After replacing the seal, they could ride an extra thirty kilometers per fill-up, so maintenance details are crucial. It's recommended to replace the fuel tank hoses every two years, as rubber parts naturally age and may leak.
