credible step Atul! lets hope it goes well for you. you mentioned the rod is slightly longer n the need for a barrel spacer. then how come the stroke remains the same i wonder.
With parts availability on your side, one could attempt/ experiment as u want.. been with the Shogun for a good 16 years and the RD for 11 years, i have known the value of rare and 'soon to be' rare spares and i wouldnt even think about touching a suzuki engine.. it needs a Big heart to even try doing such a thing on a rare bike. Kudos!

thanks for the heads up man. am trying to preserve functionality as much as possible. The longer road just indicates higher deck height. the main stroke of the crank will not be affected as long as i change the position of the bigend pin.

Availability of spares is also a major concern why someone should take up such a rebuild. With only one std piston available for the shaolin, and no factory/good quality rods in the market, engine grafting is going to be the only way out for these bikes. The owner will have about 5 rebores after this setup, and can use a backup crank for further use. other than that the rest of the spares remain the same, with more displacement, 4 std oversizes

Its the right alternative for people instead of using RX135 pistons too

Hmm.. makes sense as of now.. what have you thought about the intake?

psycho 98 · 07-25-2010, 01:07 PM

Have you planned any mods to the clutch ? heard that rx clutch bell can be fitted,and pls do post some pics after the intake port.

Oh yea. The engine has been completely rebuilt. It runs an RZ reed valve setup. A few clutch mods and a slightly ported crankcase to maintain the CCV with a bigger piston has been done. Transmission stock 5 speed. Im trying to get the cycle parts sorted for now.

The carburetor hasn't been decided upon yet. I will mostly need to make a custom manifold for this setup. To accomodate upto a 30mm carburetor maintaining the same angle to keep straight through carbs and not downdraught

Thats all for now

Cheers
