Spark Plugs

[GoldOxide_imp]

My long term average consumption is around 5.3L/100 kms. However, my experience is that it moves around a bit depending on traffic weather, mood and heaven knows what else. My clever mate, noroomtomove, solved the problem of how far one has to go before puttering to a halt with what has become known as his first law of motion and fuel consumption. It's set out in [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=11741]this thread and has stood me in very good stead on a number of occasions since. All it requires to work is the discipline to reset one of the trip meters whenever you fill up.

Mine is 4,6l/100kms with a 2013 5speed CB. I agree with the mentioned factors for fuel consumption. In addition speed has a very large impact on it. Also short riding over short distances with a lot of automatic warm up running of the engine. This will heavily raise fuel consumption to a large degree. In winter much more than in summer.

Btw the second set of spark plugs is working for 36.000km without any problems as the first did. But this time I leave them longer mounted and don't change. The engine still starts and runs fine as with old ones.

I concur in both cases for the '14 CB1100. If extra conservative, 4.6L/100 was achieved (region rural roads and highways). My typical rate was in the range of 5.0 to 5.4L/100 for spirited riding and freeways.
