1.Sounds from the engine.
As soon as is start the vehicle rev it a little as the reving slows down a sound comes from the engine(tan tan tan) am guessing its con-rod.
While running another kind of sound its more constant at 40 - 50 kmph speeds, am guessing its because chain sprocket might have worn out or the engine bearings.

ok that used to happen to my bike as well, but only on the move.. the way i got rid of it was to ride the bike with no idling.. am not kidding.. try this.. remove the idling from the bike.. while riding, let go of the throttle and see while the revs reduce, if the "tan tan" sound remains, it should go away, i
think the older shaolin came with a really light magneto, later models they increased the weights..
if the sound is a rattle (at idle) then its a clearance issue..
not too sure of the second sound.. if the rear sprocket is worn you notice serious amount of slippage while accelerating hard, will be tough to miss

In 2nd and 3rd gear at half the throttle bike starts to choke as if its out of breath and it regains the speed later.(Any one wanna crack this case)
Gear shift is not that smooth either.
