What happens above is u reset trip as soon as last bar blinks, use up 1litre fuel. Fill 5 liters in a nearby pump makes usable 4 liters(1litre is compensated to used up reserve) and u have 4 liters for use after which last bar blinks again. So u basically you use up all 5 litres

GOLDEN RULE: Reset trip as soon as last bar blinks and refuel whenever possible

Got your point now
Yes, this method should serve the purpose very well, provided you keep an eye on the fuel meter all the time. If you are riding in a group or probably get distracted, the readings can go awry.

@samarth ... bro I followed fulltank method and your method(which I thought earlier that I'm only following often :P ) on both of my bikes fz and cbr..and yes you are correct mileage figure fluctuation is far less on your method(70% of time mine also ).. but my freinds says that this method is incorrect and told me to follow only full tank ..

My explanation goes like this. - last bar blinks , you reset your trip and u ride 30kms(using 1lite fuel approx) to reach a near by pump and fill 5 litre fuel. So what happens is one litre used up in reserve is filled first and remaining 4 liters is the extra fuel filled.

It's a bit complex and unacceptable for starters but I kindly suggest you to try this a few times and u will gradually understand how it works. I have been checking FE the same way since 8 odd years but of course accuracy in FE vehicles depends on fuel gauage which I find reasonably accurate on the Cbr. I get constant mileage n figures are (from past 4 refuels ) 33.59, 33.66, 33.78 , 33.65 which is very near an accurate

Well here is what I do to track fuel efficiency. As soon as last line starts blinking I reset trip to zero and say I fill petrol of 600rs and keep in mind fuel price per litre while filling(75.20) .Again when last line (in fuel guage) blinks I write down the value say around 260kms ,,. Now the formula I use is

Kms run(260) / Fuel filled (600rs)* Price of petrol per litre

using this method my mileage is constant and varies only in .xx kms. So I find this method most accurate as there is not much fluctuation in mileage I am getting.
Doesnt matter how much fuel u fill , just consider the above method once.

Sorry about the length.
I knew exactly this question would be asked. Many argue at my answers but realise the same after few days. To check accuracy on the method said try the procedure twice and I assure u that the readings will be accurate.

what i do is i fill my petrol tank upto the inner brim and note down kilometers , petrol quantity and rupees. then after that whenever it blinks i again fill it upto the inner brim with kilometers, petrol quantity and rupees (rupees doesnt affect calculation)
for example
1. petrol 9.25ltr and 12000kms(full tank)
2. petrol 10ltr and 12320kms(full tank)

so 320kms 10 ltrs equal to 32kmpl.
have always get 19 - 26 kmpl

What speed do you follow while riding these 320kms ??
kmpls matters on lots of factor bro...

last time when i did Delhi Agra trip i used same method and i got an average of 19kmpl i was continuosly cruising on speed between 90 - 110 kmph and 135 kmph touched once for 2 mins. in city i always get 24- 26kmpl(max).

These days I am pretty much stabilized at 30-31kpl in city and 35 on highways.

Could anyone tell me about the brakes in the CBR? I've heard that the front brakes are a bit disappointing and that the front suspension is too soft. How much does this affect the rideability of the bike? Also I know that Honda recalled some of the Std CBRs to fix the brakes(if I remember right). Have these been fixed in the current 2013 C-ABS models?

you can always switch to DOT4 brake fluid and steel braided brake lines.

24-26 in city is ok...but 19 on a highway? That's impossible!!!
Maybe the fuel bunk guys conned you with lesser fuel than what you paid for - or maybe you had very low pressure...

I get 35-36 when I cruise at 80-90 and definitely get 30+ as long as I don't cross 120km/h.

Can you guide me where to get steel braided lines for CBR. Heard tht P220 lines a little lengthier than ours.

Had exchanged few mails with Hel Performance an international steel braided lines manufacturing company,their local counterpart replied that it will cost 5300/- INR for a set of CBR`s std brake lines in any color I want.
If anyone interested will post the link.
