Have you ever wonder how your friend gets more kilometers per liter , Even though having same bike as you ?  well then you are on right place we'll tell you 5 ways to improve fuel efficiency of your bike.
        1. key to success
 Riding  slow is key of success here. It's very first step towards going green. Accelerate your bike with slow manner and try to stay in top gear while maintaining your rpm good 2.5 to 5k  below your peak power depending your available power band, after all we're discussing about fuel saving !
 

2. Apply less brakes 
Braking hard is isn't always necessary instead you can ride your bike with slow manner so as to slow down bike with more engine braking than your safety brakes. watch out for speed bumps and starts to slow down machine from 70 to 120 meters behind bump, leave your accelerator and pull your clutch till reaching bump or drop down gear if distance is less.
 
Examine and rectify problems with major parts

3.Air Filter   

          There are many types of small but crucial factors regarding your bike that most of people don't know. Air filter, you can say air filter is lung of your bike. cause when intake port takes air through open air it needs to be filter before entering in combustion chamber, that filtering process is done by air filter. The cleaning frequency of this filter is six months but most of people ignores this process and let bike run for years and years and there big problem occurs. When air filter gets chock by dust particles , flow of fresh air towards engine dramatically reduces and end result is bikes engine unable to produce its require power to due which more fuel gets waste because of rich type air/fuel mixture. So there for proper care of Air filter is necessary , at least open it once in 7-10 months interval or change if required to cause dirty air filter could be reason behind shutting down your bikes engine.


4.Carburetor        

               
Carburetor in short Carb is plays very important role behind running your bike carb sends air and fuel mixture together in engines combustion chamber there are various types of jet needles inside carb, most of carbs have pilot jet and idle air screw for idle to 1/4 accelerator and engine idle, slide needle adjustment for 1/4 to 3/4 accelerator and main jet for 3/4 to full accelerator action. Main jet and pilot jets should be clean for proper engine response also there is float and float needle at bottom side of most carbs which must be cleaned and tuned from good mechanic. Just as air filter gets chock, carb also gets chock due to various reasons such as unrefined fuel or rust from petrol tank. carburetor plays major role in bikes behavior as well as fuel efficiency. remember clean and well tune carb always gives satisfactory Kilometers per liters.

5.Engine oil
                                      

All the lubrication work of engine is done by engine oil thus changing engine oil time to time is very important. engine oil should be change at 4.5 k to 7k kilometers if you ride bike with slow peace or it should be under 4k kilometers if you're racer type . If you can afford fill semi or fully synthetic oil in your bike which have less mechanical frictional property which helps to achieve better fuel efficiency. choose engine oil with proper grading eg. some manufacturers recommends 20w40 oil for their bikes while others says to go with 20w50 remember wrong engine oil grading could damage your engine. Change oil filter at the time of changing engine oil.      

So try these things right now if you're interested to achieve better average from your bike.
