Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:

Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.

Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the en-
gine.

Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).
