Because properly maintained motorcycles and motorcycle engines can get between 40 and 60 miles per gallon. Smaller scooters get over 90 miles per gallon, pretty good for an economy with $ 4 per gallon gasoline.

Because your chain transfers power from the engine to the rear wheel is very important to be in excellent shape. Watch the chain more of the following:

- Are teeth of the front wheel and the wheels in good condition? If the teeth have grooves or “waves” in them or show other signs of wear, you probably need new sprockets (chain will probably show similar wear and need replacement).

- Check every single section of the chain of signs of wear and proper tension. It should move about an inch when you pull it. Tighten the chain if it is loose, and loosen it if it’s tight. If the links are too tight, you may need to replace the entire chain.

- Clean dirt off the chain with a clean towel or rag before applying lubricant. Be sure to thoroughly lubricate all of the wheel teeth and links.
