Fuel consumption
At 28000 kms I took the 2012 PCX for a service and had the belt changed. I also changed rollers and air filter. Since then (now on 31000 kms), for some reason, consumption went up significantly. I used to cover 220 kms easily with a tank, at a push even 235 kms. Now the bike struggles to cover 190 kms
. Any ideas what this can be due to? Thanks guys.

Check tyre pressures and brakes for binding first

Re: Fuel consumption
Also note that you posted in the Forza 300 section.
Were the rollers exactly the same before and after?

Re: Fuel consumption
Thanks for the prompt feedback. I've no idea whether the parts were the same. I just ordered what the guy told me to order and had them replaced. The funny thing is that performance seems to be the same. Given that I had the belt changed, I can't help thinking that that might be the cause - perhaps it was fitted too tightly or loosely.
