Here are some tips for improving the fuel economy of your Vulcan 500:
- Keep your tires properly inflated. Underinflated tires can increase rolling resistance and reduce fuel economy.
- Avoid idling your bike for long periods of time. Idling wastes gas and does not improve performance.
- Accelerate and decelerate gradually. Rapid acceleration and deceleration can waste gas.
- Use the correct octane fuel for your bike. Using a higher octane fuel than recommended can actually decrease fuel economy.
- Keep your bike well-maintained. A properly maintained bike will run more efficiently and get better gas mileage.
