Efficiency tips
-
Keep tires properly inflated: Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance by up to 3%. Check cold tire pressure weekly.
-
Change air filter on schedule: A clogged air filter reduces fuel efficiency by 10-15%. Replace every 8,000-12,000 miles.
-
Use the correct grade engine oil: Using the manufacturer-recommended oil viscosity can improve fuel economy by 1-2%.
-
Keep spark plugs fresh: Worn spark plugs reduce combustion efficiency. Replace per the maintenance schedule.
-
Maintain a steady throttle: Aggressive acceleration and hard braking consumes 20-30% more fuel. Smooth throttle inputs save gas.
-
Reduce wind drag: At highway speeds, wind drag is the #1 fuel consumer. Tuck behind the screen and avoid luggage on short rides.
-
Keep chain properly adjusted & lubed: A slack or dry chain creates drivetrain losses of 5-10%. Check slack and lube every 500 miles.
-
Warm up briefly, then ride: Long idling wastes fuel. Warm up 30-60 seconds, then ride gently for the first mile.
