What does a fuel tuner do for a motorcycle?
An auto tuner is a unit that helps in adjusting air and fuel, for bikes that use the fuel injection technology. An auto tuner monitors the performance of a motorcycle and constantly tunes the air and fuel ratio to an ideal capacity, hence allowing excellent full delivery and optimum performance of your motorcycle.
How do I tune my bike engine for fuel economy?
Turn the idle settings screw so that rpm reaches about 3000 rpm. Now tune the air/fuel screw to make the mixture leanest as possible. Please refer to the above whether you must turn the screw clockwise or anti clockwise. As you make the mixture leaner, slowly the engine RPM decreases…
How do you maintain a fuel injection bike?
Motorcycle Maintenance Items For Fuel-Injected Bikes
- Air Filters. Your air filter is very important; it allows air to get to the engine to create combustion which powers your bike.
- Engine Oil. All engines need oil to lubricate the moving parts.
- Fuel Filter.
- Check Spark Plugs.
- Check Your Exhaust.
- Tires.
- Coolant.
How do I know if my fuel injected bike is running lean?
The first sign you’ll have of a motorcycle running lean is if you are having a rough idle. If you start the motorcycle and it has a difficult time staying on by itself or you notice a rough sputter while it’s in a stationary position, this is a good indication of a lean mixture.
How do I know if my bike is fuel injected?
That being said, the easiest way to know if it’s fuel injected is to turn the main switch on, then toggle the engine kill switch. If you hear a whine that sounds like it’s coming from inside the right side of the tank, it’s a FI bike. If you hear nothing, it’s carbed.
What should I look for in a bike tune up?
Suspension tuning is one of the more complicated elements of a bike tune-up and if you’re concerned about a major system flaw, you might want to take it in for professional maintenance. Test your brakes: Make sure your brake levers are functioning properly and the pads strike the wheels evenly.
How do you get oil out of a fuel injected bike?
Warm up the engine to operating temperature and shut off the bike. Remove the oil drain plug and allow oil to drain into a big enough pan to hold it. Remove the filler cap from the engine oil or dipstick cap and the oil will drain faster. Do this only after you remove the drain plug so oil doesn’t rush out as quickly on your hand.
Where is the fuel screw on a bike?
There is another screw which sets the idle speed of your bike (it sets the engine rpm at ‘idle’ run) 2 stroke engines have an air screw (located on the carburetor away from the engine) and 4 stroke engines have a fuel screw (located on the carburetor but near the engine)
Where to maintain fuel level on a motorcycle?
Make sure you understand where the level should be maintained depending on whether the engine is hot or cold. Generally, it should be maintained near the upper mark when cold but not right up to the top mark to allow for expansion when warm.
How long does it take to tune a bike carburetor?
Your machine must have finished at least one service ~500kms or more. Also make sure you do not change the fuel type while tuning i.e. Power, Speed, Extra premium, normal unleaded etc. All the single cylinder bikes, 2 stroke or 4 stroke having a carburetor.

Why do I need a leaner ECU on my bike?
More fuel with a given throttle-plate opening makes the air/fuel mixture richer and tends to increase power at the expense of fuel economy. Leaner mixtures improve mpg and help give the catalytic converter less work to do burning unused hydrocarbons, which is why many stock bikes are mapped lean.
How do you get dirt out of a fuel injected bike?
Some people choose to use a blowgun and compressed air to blast dirt buildup off the filtering element at their own risk. It’s not hard to unknowingly poke a hole in the paper with the air blast resulting in leakage of dirty air flow directly into the engine.
