Rising petrol costs - ways to save money

We already know that you can save massive amounts of money on petrol, compared to driving a car by getting on a motorcycle but did you know that you can save even more by following a few simple rules?

We at Get on like saving you money, especially at the pumps! Get out of those petrol stations and get on your motorcycle!

Constant speeds

When you accellerate your engine is working at its hardest and when you brake, you are losing energy. Riding at a constant speed means your engine doesn't have to work as hard as it would if you're speeding up and slowing down all the time. To this end, accellerating and braking gently when you need to do so also helps.

Fuel and air filters

In order to run efficiently, a motorcycle engine needs to maintain a good fuel/air mix. Making sure your filters are in good condition helps to maintain that balance and keep your motorcycle happy.

Tyres

Friction created by flat or out of condition tyres wastes huge amounts of energy, not to mention that it's also very unsafe to ride on bad tyres! This is pure common sense, guys! Check your tyres every time you get on your bike!

General maintenance

A healthy engine is a happy engine and a happy engine is a fuel efficient engine. Keeping your motorcycle regularly serviced will keep all the moving parts inside your engine and elsewhere on your bike working as they should. Every little piece of your motorcycle plays a little part in your fuel economy. Keep your engine happy and keep your fuel costs down.
