New Delhi. Most of the people who ride bikes complain that they never get as much mileage as the company says. Many people are also worried that they get their bike serviced on time and maintain it well but still the bike does not give good mileage. But as much as the mileage of a bike depends on the condition of its engine, the way you ride also affects the mileage.
If you also have the same problem, then let us tell you that the mileage mentioned by the company is achieved only by riding the bike at the right speed and RPM. If you want good mileage from your bike then you must know about safe RPM and safe speed range.
Run the bike at safe RPM for better mileage
People often ride the bike at very low or very high RPM. Due to this mistake, bikes and scooters always get less mileage. By increasing RPM the engine works more quickly. This provides more power but also reduces the mileage. However, if the RPM is too low then the speed will reduce and even in this case you will not get better mileage.
Talking about safe RPM, generally the safe RPM of the bike is around 40-60% of its RPM range, at which the engine of the bike performs best. For example, if the maximum RPM limit of your bike is 9000 RPM, then the safe RPM range will be around 3600-5400 RPM. Running the bike in a safe RPM range does not put much pressure on the engine and also prolongs its life.
Ride the bike in safe speed range for mileage
Like safe RPM, safe speed range is equally important for mileage. For most bikes, safe speed is considered to be 40-60% of their maximum speed. For example, if the maximum speed of the bike is 100 km/h, then the safe speed will be between 40-60 km/h. Riding the bike at this speed not only saves fuel but also reduces the chances of an accident.
suggestion
Always keep RPM in mind while changing gears. Riding the bike at very high RPM increases the pressure on the engine and also increases fuel consumption.
Before setting out on a long journey, know the maximum RPM and safe speed of your bike, which is given in the manual book of the bike.
