Fuel consumption, environmental
pollution and wear of the engine, brakes
and tires depend on various factors.
Your personal riding style is highly
determinate for economical fuel
consumption, exhaust gas and noise
generation.
While idling, the engine takes a long time
to warm up to operational temperature.
In the warm-up phase, however, the
wear level and pollutant emissions are
very high. It is therefore best to start
riding immediately after start-up.
Avoid rapid acceleration
Open the throttle not further than
needed, in order to reduce fuel
consumption as well as pollution and
wear levels.
Do not use excessive revs; change up as
soon as possible and do not change
down until it is necessary to do so.
Ride as evenly as possible and look
ahead as far as possible.
Unnecessary acceleration and hard
braking cause high fuel consumption and
increased pollution levels.
Turn the engine off when waiting in
traffic.
Different riding conditions affect fuel
consumption. The following conditions
are unfavorable for fuel consumption:
- High traffic density, especially in big
cities with many stops for traffic lights.
- Frequent short rides with repeated
starts and warm-ups of the engine.
- Riding in a column of scooters at low
speed, meaning riding with relatively
high revs.
Plan rides ahead of time in order to avoid
heavy traffic.
Fuel consumption is also affected by
conditions that are out of your control,
for instance, poor road conditions,
hills, riding in winter.
Observe the following aspects for
economical fuel consumption:
- The planned inspection intervals
must be closely observed.
- Regular service by a specialized
dealer will guarantee not only
continued operability, but also
economical fuel consumption, low
environmental pollution and a long
lifespan.
- Check the tire pressure every two
weeks
Low tire pressure increases rolling
resistance. This increases fuel
consumption and tire wear and
adversely affects riding behavior.
- Continually check fuel consumption.
- Frequently check the oil.
