1. Keeping the engine RPM below the torque peak range helps save fuel by avoiding excess fuel consumption. 2. Riding with partial clutch engagement or "half clutching" wears out clutch parts quickly and reduces power transmission, requiring more frequent refueling and clutch replacement. 3. Selecting the appropriate gear is important for fuel efficiency - under-gearing or over-gearing increases fuel consumption, so shift gears appropriately for speed and engine RPM.

1. How to save Fuel
1.If you see a bike's specification there will be a section about the vehicle's torque @ certain rpm.
Torque denotes the pulling force that the vehicle can offer at that particular engine speed. Every engine
has certain rpm range where it can offer maximum torque. Try to keep below that range (not too low)
so that you don't burn a lot of fuel.
2. Clutch riding / half clutch tends to wear out the clutch facing quickly. This considerably reduces the
power transmitted from the engine. Some adjust the play to half clutch owing to the reason that it is
easier to drive in slow moving traffic, but they won't realize that they are doing it at the cost of frequent
fuel refills and clutch replacement.
3. Selection of appropriate gear is mandatory. Under-gearing / over-gearing are not good friends of
fuel economy. Riding in higher gears at very low speeds (by clutch partially engaged) and lower gears
at high speeds tends to draw more fuel. So don't hesitate to shift gears appropriately.
4. Starting earlier to work/college will also help saving fuel indirectly. As the peak hour approaches
the traffic density increases and it demands frequent stops and crawling speed. So why waste your
precious time and fuel?
5. Always ensure that your vehicle's transmission is sufficiently lubricated. This is because if there is
more friction between the parts the engine will draw more fuel to compensate your speed demand.
Also friction is not healthy exercise to the parts.
6. The engine can not only be used for moving the vehicle but also to slow it down. This is called
engine braking When the throttle is released only idling amount of fuel will be supplied to engine and
the power will be transmitted from wheels to the engine. Thus the vehicle slows down due to the
resistance offered by the engine. There are some places to use this phenomenon like when you are
about to stop for an obstacle which is say some 10-50 meters (Note: this range depends on your speed)
ahead of you just release the throttle rather than breaking hard near it and let the 'engine braking' work
its magic (can also be employed in slow moving traffic). You can also down shift if you need to. This
thereby reduces unwanted fuel consumption and also saves brakes from wearing out.
7. Don't have your head lamps turned unnecessarily ON which in turn demands more fuel by the
engine to charge the battery/run the alternator. Unwanted electrical accessories can also be avoided.
8. Make sure that your vehicle's idling speed is set as per the manufacturer's specification. If set higher
intakes excess fuel during idling and if set lower engine tends to stall frequently this in turn needs
richer mixture to start the vehicle. At times when you have to wait in a traffic signal for more than 30
secs switch OFF your engine. If you have self starter try alternating between kick starter also to avoid
heavy load acting on battery frequently.
9. Above all these maintain a log book about your fuel refills, type of journey distance covered per
journey (even if it is very short), fuel consumption per liter to know about your driving performance so
that you can improve further.
