Hello friends welcome to Rajesh Technical Blog, today I will tell you that how to improve the mileage of your BS6 Splendor Plus by following 12 real and practical tips. These tips are tested on Indian roads and are easy to apply — no expensive parts or special tools needed. Read carefully and apply step by step.
How to Improve BS6 Splendor Plus Mileage — 12 Practical Tips
1. Ride Smooth and Avoid Sudden Acceleration
Smooth throttle control saves fuel. Avoid jerky moves, anticipate traffic, and accelerate gently. When you maintain a steady speed and avoid unnecessary revving, the engine burns fuel more efficiently.
2. Keep Correct Tyre Pressure
Under-inflated tyres increase rolling resistance and reduce mileage. Check tyre pressure weekly with a good gauge. Use the manufacturer’s recommended PSI for front and rear tyres — keeping pressure correct gives immediate improvement.
3. Maintain Chain Tension and Lubrication
A loose or dry chain wastes power. Adjust chain slack as per manual and lubricate it every 500–800 km or after riding in rain. A well-lubed chain transmits more power and helps mileage.
4. Clean or Replace the Air Filter
In dusty areas the air filter clogs quickly. Clean a reusable filter often; replace paper filters at scheduled intervals. Better airflow equals better combustion and better mileage.
5. Fuel System Care — Injector and Lines
BS6 bikes rely on precise fuel delivery. If the bike hesitates or idles rough, consider fuel-injector cleaning or a fuel system check. A clean injector restores pickup and improves economy.
6. Use Recommended Engine Oil
Always use the oil grade recommended in the manual (for example, 10W30) and change oil at the suggested intervals. Fresh oil reduces internal friction and helps fuel economy.
7. Inspect Spark Plug Regularly
A fouled spark plug causes misfires and wasted petrol. Check the plug every service interval and replace if carbonised. Proper spark ensures complete combustion.
8. Use the I3S Feature Wisely
I3S (Idle-Stop) saves fuel during long stops in traffic. Let it work in stop-and-go traffic, but understand it’s most useful when idles are long. For short, frequent trips choose riding style accordingly.
9. Shift Gears at the Right Time
Avoid over-revving. Upshift early during cruising so RPM stays moderate. Do not lug the engine in high gear with heavy throttle; both extremes harm mileage.
10. Remove Unnecessary Weight
Every extra kilogram affects fuel consumption. Remove heavy luggage or accessories that are not required daily. Travel light to save fuel.
11. Fill Fuel from Trusted Pumps
Contaminated petrol reduces combustion efficiency. Choose reputable petrol stations and avoid suspiciously cheap fuel. Good fuel helps maintain mileage and engine health.
12. Follow Regular Service Schedule
Small faults reduce mileage silently — dragging brakes, wrong tyre alignment, or a stuck choke. Regular service catches these early. If mileage drops suddenly, get a diagnostic check.
Quick Weekly Checklist (copy-pasteable)
[ ] Check tyre pressures (front & rear)
[ ] Inspect chain tension & lube if needed
[ ] Check engine oil level
[ ] Inspect air filter (clean or replace)
[ ] Check spark plug condition
Common Reasons for Sudden Mileage Drop
Clogged air or fuel filter
Dirty or faulty fuel injector
Low tyre pressure or dragging brakes
Poor quality fuel or old engine oil
Faulty spark plug or ignition issues
Short Tips from the Field
Warm the engine for 20–30 seconds before riding (no long idles).
Use mid-range RPM for steady cruising — avoid high revs.
Plan trips to avoid multiple cold starts in one day.
Keep a small toolkit and tyre gauge in your home; weekly checks take 2–3 minutes.
