Why is the fuel consumption of Yamaha Fuxi so high?

[VonKaden]

Yamaha Fuxi's fuel consumption is approximately 2 liters per 100 kilometers, which is relatively not high in itself. However, if the fuel consumption suddenly increases, it usually indicates a problem with the motorcycle. For example, low tire pressure, excessively high oil viscosity, or a dirty air filter can all contribute to this issue. If you notice an increase in fuel consumption, the first thing to check is the tire pressure. If the pressure is too low, it will increase the resistance encountered while driving, naturally leading to higher fuel consumption. In this case, you should inflate the tires to the normal pressure range. If the engine oil viscosity is too high, it will also increase the resistance the engine faces during operation, similarly resulting in higher fuel consumption. Therefore, when selecting engine oil, it is essential to choose the type suitable for the motorcycle engine. During regular use, it is crucial to replace the air filter on time. If the air filter is not replaced for an extended period, it can cause insufficient air intake into the engine, leading to a decrease in engine power. With reduced power, the rider may feel a lack of power and increase the throttle opening, which will also result in higher fuel consumption.
