Shocking mileage

My bike beats the Ninja 250 .. yup.. not in top end not in accelaration but in mileage

Recently i observed my bike is giving a mileage 22-24 km /litre

i didnt noticed it till i went for the Road trip ..
i checked it atleast 5 times and yes i am right . The mileage i get varies from 20-24 depends on the speed i ride. When i ride at 60-70 the mileage i am getting is 24 . I already told this to service centre guys they have no idea . they serviced it and told eveything is ok now but no change.

Airfilter is new , spark plug is NGk iridium . All other things are stock .
No modifications except Michelin tyres. Any one any idea ?
clutch plates are 16 K old but i dont feel any accelaration or top end reduction . earlier bike used to tocuh 130 now it is touching 120 eventhough there is a slight missing feeling at 120 's

Any suggestion?

definetly requires some serious check up from a good mechanic.

have anyone screwed the AFR setting?

**Jithu** · 08-18-2010, 07:11 PM

if some one played with AFR the idlign RPM will not be normal right?
what i observe is my engine oil level is also reducing at much faster pace

sometimes it doesn't happen.

if engine oil is getting low then there is definitely some issue with engine oil.

Oh bad. How did u meet with an accident first of all. Isn't ur bike brand new??
I would request you to keep ur language under control on the forum and I still

wonder what "B.C" means bro "Before Christ" ??

Whats Chipya??

Request you to refrain from using sms lingo here.

well, it was brand new before some old guy on a activa was coming wrong way and went from the left side of the road to the right side when i was really close to him in which i ended up in a cycle wala and my bike flew in the air and got damaged. it hasnt even been a month yet... Also, "Chipya" means the handle is bent so if my wheel is straight, my handle is waay off. i forgot the word for it. Also, i used "b.c." once and your getting sarcastic remarks about that bro? Have you been to the other parts of the forums? There have been people using SMS lingo in every other word. No offense but i though i had to point that out. And the language thing is my bad, im pretty sure you would be mad too if your bike has been screwed within less then a month because of some old guy that doesnt know how to drive. What made me even MORE mad was that i yelled at him to stop but he RAN AWAY...

i serviced my zma-r last week, and the svc mechanic told me that regarding the cold start issue, he advisd me to pull choke only 1/4th[AVOID FULL CHOKE OPERATION AS IT ACCUMULATES CARBON] of total and open throttle slightly, then press starter.

to my surpise the bike starting without a hitch at just a notch even in heavy delhi rains.

so this method should be tried by those who are suffering from cold start issues.

luckily i don't have any such issues in my 3 years old ZMA....the bike starts in 1st attempt even in chilling winters

Get ur carb cleaned properly, all the jets cleaned and the Air Fuel mixture corrected. Make sure that it is tuned by someone who does a good job. I dont trust the SVc guys one bit.
I get a constant mileage of 32kmpl. But on highways, I get close to 37.

I hate these ppl who come in opposite directions. They're such a pain in the wrong end. and they assume they own the road.

OT: Well, I was not sarcastic dude. thats the only thing I know for B.C.
Well, I know that there are people on the forum who use sms Lingo. I just wanted to help u and the forum maintain a sense of maturity. No offences bro. nothing personal Ok. ??

And yeah, I understand what u must be going through because of this hit.
Take a chill pill, things will be alright in no time and u will be munching miles on ur ZMA-r again.

Cheers man.
