Calculating mileage of your bike?

[fayad555]

I can't use the reserve method coz my uni doesn't use up all the fuel in reserve, it leaves roughly half litre fuel in the tank the reserve capacity is 1.3l so not exactly how much it can actually use out of that.

You need not use up all the fuel in reserve.
Reset the tripmeter when u reach reserve, then fill some amount of petrol, ride till it comes to reserve again. Note the trip meter reading and divide it by the amount of petrol u had filled, thats your mileage in kmpl.
The accuracy will be more if the amount of fuel u filled is more.

Help needed in making a DIY fuel economy measuring fuel bottle

Had to check the fuel economy of my motorcycle. So hooked up a 500ml coke can with a 10mm clear PU pipe to the carb, by passing the tank-carb fuel line.

Was just wondering whether I require to control the flow-rate of the fuel. In this set-up the fuel from the bottle flows unrestricted to the carb. Attached is a sketch to give an idea.




I am not sure whether the fuel from the tank flows likewise. Was lazy to measure the flow rate from the fuel tank.

For a correct reading, do I need to match the flow rate of my set up to that of the tank?

Re: Calculating mileage of your bike?

I recently bought a Pulsar NS200 , and the bike has been giving me a grief on mileage terms . In the beginning I use to get 13 -15 KMPL .after tinkering by Bajaj SVC problem wasn't solved , then visited a different Bajaj centre and asked them to replace the air filter , now I am getting 25 -30 KMPL.
But the thing is bajaj SVC always told me that reserve to reserve check of 1 liters is not accurate , instead I should fill the petrol to top and run it till dry or use 3 liters for reserve to reserve check .
