Yes, riding your bike at high RPMs can reduce fuel efficiency and mileage. When you ride at higher RPMs, the engine has to work harder and consume more fuel to maintain that level of performance. This increased fuel consumption can result in reduced mileage or fuel efficiency.

Generally, motorcycles tend to achieve their optimal fuel efficiency in a specific RPM range, often referred to as the "economy range" or "cruising range." This range varies depending on the specific bike and engine design, but it is typically lower RPMs where the engine operates smoothly and efficiently.

If you consistently ride your bike at high RPMs, such as during aggressive acceleration or maintaining high speeds, you will likely experience lower fuel efficiency compared to riding in the recommended cruising range. To maximize fuel efficiency and mileage, it is advisable to ride within the manufacturer's recommended RPM range and adopt smooth and controlled riding techniques.

It's important to note that other factors, such as aerodynamics, road conditions, weight, and riding style, can also influence fuel efficiency. Maintaining proper tire pressure, reducing unnecessary weight, and employing fuel-efficient riding practices, such as avoiding sudden acceleration and maintaining a steady speed, can further help optimize fuel efficiency and mileage.
