Should i turn off my bike when i have to wait at the traffic signal for 1 minute ? Does it save petrol or...?

is it for the environment ?

Many times i have to wait at traffic lights and someone told me that if the traffic light is red for a minute or more than a minute i should turn off the bike.

Do we save petrol that way or is it good for the environment ?

No, Turning of your bike and turning it on again, can consume more petrol and energy than waiting while your bike is on. Put your bike in the neutral and dont reeve it up while waiting for the light.

Whats good for the environment? A clean carburator and a clean oil emits cleaner gas.

I wouldn't. You want the engine running in case the vehicle coming up behind you doesn't stop and you need to make an evasive move. If you're sitting there trying to start your bike, you may end up a hood ornament.

No, it will be harder on your starter and the minute amout of fuel you may save is verry small

no not for 100 sec wait
