Get the tappets adjusted. Misaligned tappets are usually the main culprits. Dealers don't adjust them properly coz the mechanic needs a lot of experience and training to adjust them well.

I had the same problem with my Unicorn and I stopped giving my bike to the A.S.S. after the 3rd service. To hell with the warranty. 3 years, 40,000 kms later and with a private mechanic, it rides like a dream.

Harsha is my mechanic and he is very good. His garage is in Banashankari opp Yediyur lake. His garage name is Honda Automated something (Top Gear). From Kanakapura Road, take the lane next to the flagstaff (the lane between the flagstaff and an apartment block) just opp to Yediyur lake. If the lake is on your right, then the lane is on the left and BEFORE the flagstaff. His garage is close to the KR Road end of the lane. Excellent mech and very reasonable pricing too. Been giving my motorcycle for over 3 years.

I own a Dazzler and have been facing this problem ever since the first service!

I get an exact mileage of 40 (plus minus 1) and have been getting the same since the bike completed 800km.

I have tried every trick in the book, everything from over inflated tyres, to riding around like a bunny rabbit, to adding acetone in petrol, filling the tank full rather than keeping half empty, you name it!

I check the mileage using reserve to reserve method, which according to me is THE MOST consistent and reliable method which gives real world mileage figures. The only other method which compares is filling up your tank to FULL and then running it to either reserve or dry.

According to me any method which involves bottles strapped to your tank is plain silly if not stupid and any method which uses 1) low amount of fuel (not statistically valid) or 2) runs engine at constant RPM in neutral (not real world) is bound to give wrong mileage figure! If you use any of these kinds of methods then you are simple fooling yourself. Let your money talk rather than these figures.

My bike has finished more than 7000km in a year and I calculated that I paid around Rs4500 in this year extra on petrol which I would have saved if i got 50kmpl.

I am looking for a good private mechanic to check the valve clearance. That is the only thing left for me to do now! If that does not work then I am going to accept this reality and live with (just like all CBZ owners/ FZ owners/ and many Pulsar owners)

@threadstarter If you solve your problem then please contribute on this thread or else in the Dazzler Owners thread. It will be of great help. This problem plagues almost half of the Dazzler owners I have met. Thanks a ton!

Hi Guys ,

I wish to say you something.

100 ML test can should give almost near to the mileage but it wont give exact.

I was struggling with mileage problem for the past 1 year and sorted out just before.Mine is pulsar 150. It gave me exactly around 55kmpl at the beginning.The service center guy during 3rd service tuned my bike.I started getting 35kmpl.Then I wen to the center and complained they put a 100ml test.In this it returned 4.5kmpl for 100ml which is 45kmpl for 1 litre.

See always this 100ml test can calculation is very easy for the service center guys. Now let us see the calculation in real.

100ml can = 4.5km (that is 45km for 1litre) > should give 45kmpl in tank.
But you should minus 1km if you are doing this testing.

100ml can = 4.5km -1km = 3.5km > this 3.5km gives 35kmpl in tank exactly.


And one more important thing is. when you fill 100ml petrol in the test can you will be disconnecting the petrol flow from tank to carburetor and will be connecting this 100ml test to the carburetor. which means 100ml petrol + some amount of petrol in the carburetor. So the mileage will return as follows for you bike.

100ml = 6.0km [ am I right ]

100ml = 5.0km will be returned + 1.0km from your carb

As per your 100ml = 5.0km you must be getting around 40 - 45 kmpl on using the petrol tank. Now try this.

Dont trust these Service center. Just learn the tuning.

1) switch off the petrol flow from tank to carb
2) drive till your bike gets off
3) Fill the 100ml petrol in the can and connect to the carb
4) Drive in the normal conditions. Between 10 - 45kmph speed with various gears and in traffic as well as in empty roads.The driving conditions to be realistic as you drive in normal life.
5) now check to see the mileage.It should return 6.0 so that you will get atleast 50kmpl or plus.

Now with petrol well past Rs 80, we need to know badly that how was your issue sorted out.
