I would like to share how to increase the mileage for your bike and I am not gonna give advice about tuning setting, or ride at economy speed, remove the saree guard, maintain tyre pressure, servicing bike in time, extreme use of clutch, etc, etc.

These are the the things which usually increase the bike's mileage and you are very well familiar with it but I want to add something more which will surely increase your bike's mileage atleast by 2km minimum before what you got.

Let's start then


USE CHOKE..........Many bikers boast about their bike with their friends that my bike starts with single kick early morning (cold start) and I don't use choke etc. etc.

But I tell after you and your bike slept all night for 6-8 hours and you both wanna start your day.....Kick start your bike by holding choke and don't throttle

Let it go for 15 seconds, even if it irritates your neighbor but your bike will like it.........Let your bike's engine get well lubricated....Let it get warmed up, just as Usain Bolt warms up before his 100 m race.

Now after doing this, now ride the bike for atleast 5 kms without using too much throttle. ( I mean don't zoom). Keep your nerves cool atleast for 5 km

After 5 kms you can go in your own way..................

That's it ...............

You will have extra mileage and also you are maintaining the life of your bike's engine.

My uncle wants to add something to this

He wants the petrol knob to keep it off when the bike is not running.

and I don't know how much it works but surely it is good idea for old bikes because we don't know how the petrol may evaporate.

Good luck then

What he says is right.

The major percentage of engine's piston rings & liner wear will take place in your first ride..So it will be better if you don rev the engine hard at morn for some km..Also warm your engine before riding it every day

this will definitely improve engine life
