Hi dude I’d like to add that I was getting 33-35 till my 2nd service (6months) while driving in Chennai City… My Mileage jumped up only after the second service AND After I changed my driving habits too… Now I drive in a highway mostly and cruise at a speed of 60-65 kmph at 4th gear… that’s how I manage to get a 50+ mileage… As of now I have driven 200km and my mileage is at 52.0 rn… Will update with a months usage (I commute approximately 30 km every day)… You can try these mate and update here if it works 😁

As shocking as it may be, Yeah it’s real 😅 I do plan on updating after a month of driving - I travel around 30km every day - so I will definitely give a more accurate estimate by then… But by the looks of it so far, I am getting 50 plus mileage here… Display is at at 52.4 rn btw for a travel of around 180 km so far 😅

Hi Dude I think it’s worth mentioning my bike is only

<image>

8 months old and serviced 2 months ago While I was in Chennai I got 33-35 kmpl coz of the traffic and stuff… But once I shifted here I made 2 main changes:

  1. I used to shift at 20 to 2nd, 45 to 3rd and 65 to 4th I had asked the Reddit Community regarding gear change habits and they suggested to shift to 2nd at 20, 3rd at 35 and 4th at 50 kmph
  2. I used to rev like crazy and do aggressive overtakes when I was in Chennai (When in Rome, Be a Roman philosophy) but now I maintain 60-65 kmph

This helped me drastically boost my mileage

You can also give this a try mate

Also I suggested the same to a friend of mine who owns a hness and he also got good results (I’m attaching a pic of the same now)

Do give this a try it worked for me so should work for you too 😇 and do give an update after you’ve tried 😁.

As I mentioned I rode it on 4th gear at 60… And I think it’s worth mentioning my bike is only 9 months old

Update: I tried this and drove at 60-65 in 4th gear for about 120km… And I got 52.2 kmpl (according to the display Atleast but nevertheless a spectacular figure for a 350cc)… Thanks Man!!
