What is the normal fuel consumption per kilometer for a 125cc motorcycle?
2 Answers
Common 125cc cross-type motorcycles generally consume about 2.2 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, while 125cc scooters consume around 3 liters per 100 kilometers. Notes on motorcycle maintenance: 1. Pay attention to daily maintenance: In the daily maintenance of scooters, frequent oil changes and air filter replacements are crucial. Oil should be changed approximately every 1,500 kilometers (using high-quality oil), and the air filter should be replaced every 2,000 kilometers. 2. Choose high-quality tires: Durable tires are a good choice, and since scooters have a lower chassis, tires are particularly important. 3. Pay attention to speed and force when riding: Avoid frequent stopping and accelerating while riding; maintaining a relatively steady speed is essential. A speed between 40-60 km/h is most appropriate.
Having ridden 125cc motorcycles for over 20 years, the normal fuel consumption is generally around 0.02 liters per kilometer, which translates to about 2 liters per 100 kilometers; the exact figure varies from person to person. During my daily urban commuting with frequent stops and starts, the fuel consumption tends to be higher, reaching up to 0.025 liters per kilometer. However, when cruising at a steady speed of 60-70 km/h on highways, the fuel consumption drops to 0.018 liters per kilometer. There are many influencing factors—for instance, my habit of rapid acceleration increases fuel consumption, but after changing to new tires, it improved significantly. Regular maintenance is crucial; I clean the air filter and adjust the ignition timing every three months, keeping the fuel consumption stable at a low level. I recommend avoiding overloading, as winter winds also affect fuel consumption. Calculated, the fuel cost per kilometer is just over 10 cents, making it both economical and environmentally friendly.
