Relationship Between Fuel Economy And Constant Speed
How can you reduce the consumption of fuel on a long ride? I am an avid rider who loves to go on long rides, especially the early morning rides with the cool breeze and reduced or nil traffic issues. Every time I went on a long ride I got 43-45 km/l on my YZF-R15 which was fairly a bit more than what I get in the city, or sometimes it’s the same. So I wanted to figure out a way on how to get more economy and reach my destination sooner.
Finally, after a really long time, we got to see Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May review cars, make fun of each other and blow sh*t up. To be frank, I really missed their show, that’s one of the few things that I watched online. I don’t watch TV because they show too much stupid stuff on it and because I’m traveling most of the time. So you know how eager I was to see these three on The Grand Tour by Amazon. After The Grand Tour released on 18 November, It broke records of all other shows featured on Amazon Prime.
There are lots of factors that either directly or indirectly affect the handling of your ride. Apart from your skills to handle motorcycle or any two wheeler there are numerous factors that involve in ride quality and handling of your ride. Let's check it out what are those factors and how they affect the handling.
The life of a battery, apart from its original design and use, depends on a large extent on the attention which is given for its proper maintenance. The battery of your ride must be checked periodically, be it commuter or a superbike. The following points must be taken care of in order to maintain your battery in a good state especially if it is a Non-Maintenance Free or Non Dry Type battery.
Every tire consists of two parts mainly the tread and the carcass. The tread is the part of the tire that contacts the road surface when the wheel rolls, it serves to transmit the forces from the ground to various parts of the wheel. The carcass is the part of the tyre, that takes up various loads and consists of various piles wound in a particular fashion from the cords of rayon or suitable material. Treads will be discussed in detail in the article.
So Honda did something very surprising by unveiling upgrades to its cruiser motorcycles. What was even more surprising was the fact that both cruisers are 300cc and 500cc each, I thought Honda only made minor sticker upgrades to these mid and low capacity engines but not this time.
After a successful end to the 2016 World Championship, all teams stayed for a two day Official Test at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia. This marks the very first outing for the newly signed riders on their respective bikes and teams.
We have all wondered why the fuel economy and road grip goes low as the tire’s running increases and the tire gets flat. We are going to focus on the rolling force caused by the tires. Energy is consumed by the tire as it travels a specified distance.
Speaking of adventure touring motorcycles, well I really feel that any motorcycle today has the capability to be called an adventure touring motorcycle. It doesn’t need to have long travel suspension, upright riding position, pannier racks, loads of torque, comfort or any of the other stuff these manufacturers sell in the name of adventure.
If Kawasaki’s Versys- X300 and BMW’s G310 GS weren’t enough a choice to be happy with, well then Suzuki too has joined the small capacity adventure tourer segment, or let’s just say small capacity tourer segment. Next year, these motorcycles could literally create a row in the market but I think it would be a scenario of great excitement. It would be fun to observe and understand market dynamics as per what people choose from the three contenders, contenders of a niche motorcycle market just being born. I wish KTM India too had joined this bandwagon but they have, erm other priorities.
