On saturday, i decided to go for a sprocket change for my shaolin.
14T - RTR 180.
39T - Suzuki Fiero and chain i got from the fiero chain kit.

After opening the engine side cover, what i find is very disturbing.
Near the front sprocket, the chain has slighty grinded the chamber even the mechanic is not sure why this has happened.

am guessing, may be the swingarm is slightly bent.

any info on this.

No help ..... i can understand.

Anyways bike running fine now on a clear highway its just kissing the 100kmph. Engine is smooth better than my samurai actually, every often you will get to hear the crank sound apart from that nothing else.

People do give a 2nd look looking at the stickers and awasome firing the bike has, its an worthwile experience i should say.

hi all,

i have a 96 shogun which is pretty much stock and is in ok condition.

however dopes have some small issues with it but are real annoying
so i have decided to re do the bike including painting and all adding
front disc ,box shape swing arm and all

i am assuming it wud cost me around 10k to do all this
however my better half is dead against it and suggests me to buy a new one instead,however i love this bike and want to keep it as my daily commuter.

my question is is it worth doing all this will the bike be reliable enough for me to trust it while using it in the city.

pls do suggest

@thread starter :hope you dont mind me posting it on your thread didnt wnated to create a new thread for only this.

Ur end its your better half here its my mum n elder brother, all of us go through it in different ways i guess. I can so relate man.

Well as far as your engine is fine doing up the Shigun cosmetically wont be an issue. Coz body spares you can get. Engine well ull have to look high and low. But you can get it

So go for it man re-build the pioneer fire starter

Hi, You can tell your better half to talk about things which she understands.. thats what i usually do. Theres nothing that compares to a fast and reliable 2-stroker.. its definately worth the buck spent.. I have a '94 Shogun with similar mods.

shougun

yup but my question is....will it be reliable enough after the rebulid
note:the engine is sealed never opened till now only issues with wiring and body parts

if the compression is good.. you dont need to touch the engine! a new wiring loom should not be difficult to source.. new body parts can be used from the samurai with new paint and Shogun stickering. check out 'Big Bore's' newly painted Shogun.

You are one lucky guy in 110 crores population to have a Shogun with a virgin engine and you are wondering what to do?

Dude, I would suggest to keep the Shogun as a weekend bike. You cannot afford to stress it too much. Spares are becoming scarce day by day. For daily commute just go for any regular 4-stroke ones that you feel comfortable with.

Whatever work is needed on the Shogun, plan it in phases and accomplish. That way you do not have to spend too much in one shot. Just take your time with it. But keep it good.
