Maximizing Mileage
What is the rpm range @ 5th gear on a zma-R to obtain the very maximum mileage while cruising? 3k-3.5k or 4.5-5k? Or some other range?
Is it true that mileage will be best nearing Max Engine torque rpm range? In that case 5K-6K rpm on zma should give best mileage We can use this thread to post the rpm range @ top gear to obtain maximum mileage for various Bike makes.

i heard from somewhere that in zma 3.5K revs are best for mileage as the main circuit of the carb hasn't kicked in yet then. anything above 4.5 - 5 k will result in a drop.
how true is that? I've read many users advising on a cruising speed of 80-90 kmph on zma ~ 4.5-5.5 K revs, for maximum mileage. and what about the notion of riding near to max engine torque rpm? does that really give max mileage?

For Pulsars, the economy range is 3k~5k rpm.
For the Zma, U have the required gear etched on the speedo for a range of speeds. Stick to first half of a particular range for each gear for better FE .

In fact, the kinetic honda's and scooty pep's that run a belt cvt are configured to operate at the max engine torque rpms for most driving situations.
