The car has been used for a long time, and the fuel consumption is getting higher and higher? Is it caused by natural aging or improper use?

　　In fact, the problem of motorcycle fuel consumption is mostly caused by the hidden problem of vehicles. Now, leaving aside the road conditions and driving habits, Xiaobian will talk to us about the hidden problems of vehicles that lead to increased fuel consumption.

　　1. Low tire pressure

　　The working pressure of the tire is too low, the sinkage increases, the marginal load of the tread increases, the tire shoulder is worn prematurely, which increases the rolling resistance, which is bad for fuel saving and tire saving. It is necessary to check the tire pressure regularly, both in terms of safety and fuel economy.

　　Different types of motorcycles have different tire pressures, and the tire pressure required for front and rear wheels and single or double driving is also different, but it is generally impossible to adjust the tire pressure every time single or double driving.

　　Professionally, it can be judged according to the tire pressure on the barometer and tires. Xiaobian takes household motorcycles as an example. The front tire of straddle and bent beam with displacement of about 125 is about 2.25, the rear tire is about 2.75, the front tire of scooter is about 2.00, and the rear tire is about 2.50.

　　2. High oil viscosity

　　The engine oil with high viscosity will increase the resistance of the internal operation of the engine, and the engine oil moves slowly, resulting in an increase in fuel consumption. Selecting the oil with suitable viscosity can also effectively control fuel consumption. If you don't know what viscosity oil is suitable for your car, you can refer to the vehicle manual.

　　3. The air filter has not been replaced for a long time

　　If the air filter is not cleaned or replaced for a long time, it will seriously affect the air intake of the engine, resulting in lack of engine power and increased fuel consumption. Advocate that all car owners clean or replace the air filter on schedule.

　　4. Poor spark plug condition

　　The use of spark plugs for a long time increases carbon deposition and spark plug gap, which can lead to poor incineration performance, reduced starting power and increased fuel consumption. It is suggested that we distinguish the replacement cycle according to different spark plug materials: generally 30000 km (copper core or nickel alloy), 60000 km (Platinum) and 100000 km (iridium). (for reference only)

　　5. Oxygen sensor fault

　　When the oxygen sensor fails, the oil-gas mixture ratio will be affected, which will not only consume fuel obviously, but also present the conditions of deepening exhaust color, unqualified emission, surge of carbon deposition and so on.

　　6. Carbon deposition in the engine

　　As long as the car is driven, carbon deposition will naturally occur, and it is still everywhere. The fundamental solution is to do a multi-directional carbon cleaning of the motorcycle starter regularly. However, there seems to be no professional place for the carbon cleaning of the motorcycle starter. Even if there is this service, the price is appropriate and expensive. It is suggested to add maintenance type or cleaning type fuel additive to the fuel tank of your car regularly and properly, so as to avoid long-term low-speed riding and occasionally pulling high-speed, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of carbon deposition.

　　epilogue

　　Motorcycle fuel consumption is not only about your money bag, but also reflects the operation of your car from the side.

　　Pay attention to the operation of the motorcycle at any time to remove the potential hazards in time. Only by paying more attention to the details can we reduce the situation of losing your temper and leaving you on the way.
