After a period of operation, it is difficult for the vehicle to reach the original level of constant heat consumption. However, if the vehicle suddenly consumes abnormal fuel and operates somewhat sluggishly and heavily, you should immediately check the following details to diagnose the correct problem in the vehicle.
The causes of fuel consumption in motorbikes come from many different reasons. Therefore, vehicle drivers need to pay attention to observe the signs below to have appropriate solutions to help save fuel when operating the vehicle.
1. Lack of engine cooling water
Coolant leaking out or being burned inside will exhaust or run out of mechanical coolant. Lack of coolant will cause the engine to heat up, reduce energy conversion efficiency and can be dangerous, reducing the life of the engine.
2. Temperature sensor is faulty
On new models of vehicles, the signal of the coolant temperature sensor is used by the ECU (Engine Control Unit) to control the amount of fuel injected into the combustion chamber. Therefore, when the sensor is faulty, the signal sent to the ECU is incorrect and causes the ECU to incorrectly determine the temperature of the engine system and not make the fan operate to cool the radiator.
3. Spark plugs are of poor quality, not up to standard and have worn terminals
Motorcycle spark plugs are a part of the ignition system that helps ignite the air and fuel mixture from the pre-loaded carburetor into the combustion chamber. If a motorcycle spark plug is too old, is exposed due to worn terminals, or has a lot of soot, it will affect the ability to ignite, causing the vehicle to waste fuel and overheat the engine.
4. Tires lack air and low pressure
Tire pressure that is too low (under-inflated tires) will increase the contact area between the tires and the road surface, causing the vehicle engine to need to work harder to move, causing fuel consumption.
5. .Going for a long time without changing the oil
Not changing the oil regularly is one of the causes of fuel wastage in motorbikes. Oil’s main uses are to lubricate, cool, reduce wear as well as increase the life of the motorbike engine. Therefore, if you do not regularly change your motorbike’s oil, the quality of the oil will decrease, causing poor heat dissipation, the vehicle engine will heat up, and its capacity will decrease, causing fuel consumption.
6. A dirty brake system causes the brake pads to bind and jam
Locked or stuck brakes will increase friction between the brake pads and make the engine run harder, thus consuming more fuel.
7. Refusing to clean or replace the air filter
A dirty engine air filter is also one of the causes of fuel consumption in motorbikes. When the air filter is clogged, it is difficult for air to pass through, the amount of air circulation will decrease, the fuel will not burn completely and escape through the exhaust system with black smoke. To overcome this situation, car owners should clean the air filter or replace it if necessary.
8. Finally, it is due to improper driving habits
Sudden acceleration of the vehicle will also cause more fuel to be consumed. Therefore, to save fuel, you should turn the throttle slowly until you reach the required speed. This not only helps save fuel but also protects the engine.
