Surely Shaswata. Here it is.

Absolutely., Your bike needs more pulling power to pull the additional weight (here pillion),so more fuel is burnt to achieve the additional power required to pull the additional weight in the same speed you do without a pillion...

Yes.



The more load on the bike, more the energy required to pull the load. Hence, To achieve a better fuel efficiency, reduce the load. Some GSPians resort to removing the Kick-rod, Crash guard and saree guards to reduce the weight. The best way would be to remove the pillion.
International racing teams require riders to maintain their weight within specified limits although that is to achieve better acceleration but the concept remains the same.
Lesser load=relaxed engine.

@gmahesh14
Thanks for that info,my fuel efficiency wil be lesser than others since I am a bit heavy

I'm worried because of being skinny and you in opposite way..

@msb - what is the average you're getting?

So ,can we say that two riders having a similar riding style ,road conditions and speed,one is about 65kgs is getting a FE of 53 or 55 km/l and the one who is 90kgs will get about 45 or 48 Km/l????

Weight of Rider and Pillion will affect,
1. Fuel Efficiency as engine will require more power for displacement, which it gets by burning more fuel.
2. Speed - Lighter the vehicle more displacement per sec, compare vechicles with same power.
3. Efficiency of Soccobser : If more weight (Rider + Pillion), it would be pressed to some extent, thus giving very less compression n expansion.

I am not really worried since am over 6 foot,but just wanted to know the effect

GS150R owners details


Sorry for the inconvenience. Now can be edited by anyone. Please Do Not change the details of other riders. Thank you.

Weight difference of 20-30 kg wont have much difference. There are other factors also which might affect FE.

If that so then, an addition of Pillion rider of 75kg approx will decrease FE by 15kmph... so final FE : 30KMPH (45-15)

Yes weight plays an important role in FE.
Sadly I fall in the later category exactly getting around 45-49kmpl...Solo riding most of the times..

90kg weight will not affect FE if ridden w/o pillion and gradual acceleration and deceleration should be strictly followed.. Since our bike has XTP it could pull this weight with ease..
You've to consider on other factors like proper shifting, always prefer to do full clutch while shifting gears.,

it took less than 10 minutes for me, here is the list take it bro.....

@madhu,
How did you manage to collect that??
Now the real task it to fill up that spreadsheet

Yes Magesh, I am aware of the other things and I am not at all complaining about my milage
My daily commuting is around 40+ kms in thick Bangalore traffic and around 20% of it one cannot ride even in 4th gear
