To check the mileage (fuel efficiency) of a Suzuki Gixxer or any motorcycle, you can follow these steps:
Fill up the fuel tank: Start with a full tank of fuel to accurately measure the mileage. Note the odometer reading or reset the trip meter to zero.
Ride under normal conditions: Ride the Gixxer as you normally would, ensuring you maintain consistent riding habits and conditions during the test period. This includes regular traffic conditions, average speeds, and typical riding styles.
Record the distance traveled: After riding for a considerable distance (e.g., 100 kilometers), refuel the tank. Note the amount of fuel added and the odometer reading or the distance covered according to the trip meter.
Calculate the mileage: To calculate the mileage, divide the distance traveled by the amount of fuel consumed. For example, if you traveled 100 kilometers and consumed 5 liters of fuel, the mileage would be 20 kilometers per liter (100 km รท 5 L = 20 km/L).
Remember that fuel efficiency can vary based on factors like riding style, traffic conditions, terrain, and maintenance. It's recommended to perform multiple tests over different riding conditions to get a more accurate average mileage. Additionally, keep in mind that mileage can change as the motorcycle ages and undergoes regular maintenance or modifications.
