hi i just bought a second hand spark and wanted to know how to reduce fuel consumption . My current fuel consumption is roughly 30km/l or less(thats bad for a spark right ?) . Normally riding on expressway 90-120km/h just to get to work and home . 2 days i will travel a total of roughly 88-90+km and having to top up 3-3.5l of petrol .
FZ block
FZ piston ring
FZ piston
sp carb
CDI BRT
Aftermarket pipe .
fuel used spc 98
idle speed at 1.5rpm
Bought a spark hoping for it to be fuel saving but ended up spending more . Any help/feedback is much appreciated :D what should i change to reduce fuel consumption ?

In your case you need to visit your shop, have your carburetor clean, tune up and change spark plug as well.

And since that you are using a 150cc block it will consume a little bit more then the stock 135cc block..iif you want a good fuel consumption I say switch back to stock block. With powerful engine more fuel will consume , am I wrong ?

yes its better to be on stock engine modified accessories hehehehe for better gas consumption, regular change oil, spark plug replacement and air filter plus at least once a year cleaning of carburetor and tune up

i hope this will help bro. .try to consider changing your rear sprocket to a smaller one or change your front sprocket to a bigger one. .
rear sprocket - minus 3 teeth to your current sprocket. .
front sprocket - add 1 tooth to your current sprocket. .

hope this will help. .

by doing this, you'll have a better top speed and a decent acceleration. .
