    Now that's not great in making fun. I believe if you don't know a science don't question it. I drive my bike with only one prime objective, to get maximum mileage and save fuel & money.

    I've Nulon oil additive added regularly with the engine oil and it helps a lot making bike more smooth and gives effective increase in mileage. Further, I maintain a constant speed of around 50-60km/hr, moreover I live in a place where there is less traffic.

    Besides this I keep the air filter cleaned and ever weekend I clean the spark plugs, I do not spend money changing engine oils after 1000kms, I change them when I feel they have lost viscosity.

    If you are a good biker, getting 65 ain't at all a big deal.

    hmm therz no science involved in this dude...and better u don't talk about science with me ....we know that if a bike maintained well can give good mileages....i had extracted 90 out of my calliber ..and method u said is no different dude .. we check these things regularly..and only thing differentiates between u and us is the speed and additives ..ur main aim is to get good mileage but itz not appropriate to point down a biker as good or bad on the basis of the speed..

    get a dose of humour buddy ...don't take it seriously

      The point I raised about Science was to Sandymanviper, for saying "pushing the bike 1 way back home??".
      I dare won't talk about Science with you, if that's what you want me to say. C'mon man, this is a bunch in here to share knowledge and experience where creativity comes in with solid results and all on the grounds of Science. A superior statement from you sounded nothing else than you being a MIT graduate with 10yrs of experience designing Engines at Harley.

      I respect the people who have knowledge and share it without broadening their chests about their superiority. And about the statement being a joke, I don't follow such humors. Maybe a strong reason for me to stay away from community forums.

      However, if I can be of any help to anyone in here, I would surely like to facilitate, if superior human beings like you think its not required then I would immediately stop.


      @moeed
      I understand. It was good that you asked, gave me a chance to explain how I got that number. I'm not sure whether you will get anything above 91kmpl on Platina, but using additives do make engine smooth and in turn they enhance fuel economy. I would say its better not to ask anything beyond what you got, else the manufacturer would start calling you asking for your bike.

        Thanks for your reply bro. Actually I want to extract all that 108 kilometers out of a liter of petrol. I would be the happiest person if my bike gives me a mileage of 108 or even more than that(Even Bajaj would be happy with me).

          and also i think that air is escaping from rear tyre...i refilled it then again its escaping ,but not excessively ..just a liltle bit..

          i think it could be the problem ..but then a loss of 40km ..that means a lot

          from past few days rpm needle ios fluctuatiing..the normal idling rpm is around 1.5k ...from past few days its flucytuating and it returns to 1k and whhen i rise the throttle it again raises to 1.5....yoday i checked one screw which is present behind the petrol knob..i gently tightened it ..and i got the 1.5k idling ropm on the metre..

          is there any link between the screw( i think its a fuel-air mixture control) and the mileage....??
          Hi, I suggest you don't 'screw' around with the setting screws on the carb without any know how. get it to a trained guy. if your rpm is fluctuating, then check:
          * the slow jet for blockage.
          * valve clearances & seats.
          * if the choke cable is jammed or the choke assly in the carb is malfunctioning.
          * if the o'ring, washer & spring is fitted right on the the air screw & check the o'ring on the main jet tube
          u haven't mentioned anything about your clutch plates. lastly, if the fluctuation started after filling up fuel, the petrol pump is suspect.

            @Caesar: Did your problem get solved? Its a 5 min job and just take it to the mechanic. And yes get him to clean the spark plugs as well.

            @moeed: You get 91 kmpl from Platina? Amazing. Sorry I do not know much about commuting bikes. But are such averages normal? Maybe you can touch 100 kmpl.

            I never knew such mileages were possible. Although I did have a friend who extracted 75 or 80 kmpl from a Boxer once.

                i appreciate ur polite reply dude...but neither iam a graduate in MIT nor an engineer at harley...the point i wanted to make is dont underestimate other members knowledge here...Sandymanviper said "pushing the bike 1 way back home??". that was merely a joke..i was amazed that u hit back on him just bcoz he made that statement..and it was a shocker for me that you already estimated his knowledge on science with that one statement...iam not the one who roams here and there with chest puffed up ..neither i have a reason to do that ..even if i have knowledge i won't do that ...infact the statement u made "if u don't know a science ,don't question it" sounded like you being a graduate in MIT or an engineer at harley

                and this one "get the dose of humour buddy,don't take it seriously" this was not pointed to the statement that i made but was pointed to you to take SANDYMANVIPER'S statement lightly...

                and u made a statement that "good bikers drive slow" i politely disagree with you..but then this not the place to start a debate..

                thx for your help we noobies( in this field) always need people like you direct us in a good path...i never quoted that i never need help from you.....superior human beings this is a big word for me coz iam not into this field of bikes... i dont know even small punny things thats why iam here to ask help...suppose if i were a superior human being what is the need for me to ask you people..and would not like to be called as a superior even if am superior....so donot ry to embarass me with such big words ....

                  That's the max I could extract out of my bike. I checked for 4-5 times and I got the mileage figures as 88-91 kmpl. I guess that's the maximum mileage which I can get from my bike. I had to ride at 30-35 kmph with minimum braking to achieve that. I normally get around 60-70 kmpl(thanks to my ripping).

                    yes there was a bad smell coming from the engine ...like burning of a fuel..and then mileage ws pathetic 30km/litre and it showed lesser acceleration too..dunno how these stock settings changed ..but i got it done from SC ...he turtned a screw on the carb as u said ..thts it
