i realised that my fuel consumption raised to about 225km per 9L compared to last time 240km per 9L.....
last time i used to turn off the fueltap whenever i park, but now i heck care liao...does this lead to wastage of petrol??
another point is that, after i went for carb, valve, block n piston servicing, my fuel consumption also increased liao leh..

after running in the bike the petrol consumption will increase by abit. it is normal.

have you been pushing your bike harder lately? after "lun-ning" for the whole run-in period, perhaps you push the bike a little higher, leading to higher consumption.. normal also leh... Smile

It does! Let say your idling is at 1200 rpm, then it means your psiton is moving at a higher speed so needs more petrol and 2t lor.
It's like you working out, the more you do, the more energy you use, therefore the more food and water you need to take.
