The car has been used for a long time, and the fuel consumption is getting higher and higher? Is it caused by natural aging or improper operation?
In fact, the problem of motorcycle fuel consumption is mostly caused by the hidden problem of vehicles. Today, leaving aside the road conditions and driving habits, Xiaobian will talk to you about what hidden problems of vehicles cause increased fuel consumption.
1. Low tire pressure
The working pressure of the tire is too low, the sinkage is increased, the load on the tread edge is increased, and the tire shoulder is worn prematurely, which improves the rolling resistance, which is not good for fuel saving and tire saving. It is necessary to check the tire pressure regularly in terms of safety and fuel economy.
For motorcycles of different specifications, the tire pressure is different, and the tire pressure required for front and rear wheels, single person and double person driving is also different, but generally, the tire pressure is not adjusted every single person or double person driving.
If you are more professional, you can judge according to the pressure gauge and the tire pressure on the tire. Xiaobian takes household motorcycles as an example. The front tire of straddle and bent beam with displacement of about 125 is about 2.25, the rear tire is about 2.75, the front tire of scooter is about 2.00, and the rear tire is about 2.50.
2. The air filter has not been replaced for a long time
The air filter has not been cleaned or replaced for a long time, which may seriously affect the air intake of the engine, resulting in insufficient engine power and increased fuel consumption. It is suggested that all vehicle owners clean or replace the air filter on time.
3. High oil viscosity
Oil with high viscosity will increase the internal running resistance of the engine, and the oil flow rate is slow, resulting in increased fuel consumption. Selecting the oil with suitable viscosity can also effectively control fuel consumption. If you don't know what viscosity oil is suitable for your car, you can refer to the vehicle manual.
4. Oxygen sensor fault
When the oxygen sensor fails, the oil-gas mixing ratio may be affected, which not only obviously consumes oil, but also may deepen the color of exhaust gas, unqualified emission, surge of carbon deposition and so on.
5. Poor spark plug condition
If the spark plug is used for a long time, the carbon deposit increases and the spark plug gap increases, which can lead to poor ignition performance, reduced engine power and increased fuel consumption. It is suggested that you distinguish the replacement cycle according to different spark plug materials: 30000 km for ordinary (copper core or nickel alloy), 60000 km for platinum (Platinum) and 100000 km for iridium. (for reference only)
6. Engine carbon deposition
As long as the car is driven, it will naturally produce carbon deposition, and it is everywhere. The most essential solution is to do a full range of engine carbon cleaning for your car regularly, but there seems to be no professional place for motorcycle engine carbon cleaning. Even if there is this service, the price is very expensive. It is proposed to regularly and moderately add genuine maintenance or cleaning fuel additives to the fuel tank of your car to prevent long-term low-speed riding and occasionally pulling high-speed, which can effectively reduce carbon deposition.
The fuel consumption of motorcycle is not only related to your money bag, but also reflects the running state of your car from the side.
Pay attention to the running state of the motorcycle anytime and anywhere, so as to eliminate the potential hidden dangers as soon as possible. Only by paying more attention to the details can we reduce the situation of losing your temper and leaving you on the way.
