  • Mileage woes on Apache RTR 160

    I ride an RTR 160 (2011), done 6500 kms. All free services have been completed (last one was in July), and I checked the mileage recently. It is only 31 kmpl (did this with a really long sample, ie. full tank to reserve)
    I do 75% city riding (Bangalore), the rest being longer trips on weekends.

    What are the things to check for, just to make sure the low mileage isn't due to any faults on the bike itself? If everything checks out and it is simply due to riding conditions, then I'm ok with it.

    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
