While waiting for someone or stopping in signals for
long time, if the engine is kept running at idle speed, it
causes unnecessary wastage of fuel.
Check and ensure drive chain slackness. Excess
slackness leads to higher fuel consumption (refer
page no. 76).
Wheels free movement
Check and ensure the free movement of wheels by
rotating the them at least once in a week to avoid
wastage of fuel.
A racing start from rest at full throttle will waste fuel
and damage the engine. It also creates a potentially
dangerous traffic situation. Fuel is wasted whenever
the rider suddenly accelerate or apply brake.
Fast starting from rest wastes fuel
Chain slackness
Avoid unnecessary idling
Anticipate corners and slopes as well as the traffic
conditions. Unnecessary and frequent braking
reduces the fuel economy.
Avoid frequent braking
