Shaolin Help Topic Approved and Moved

Thanks for approving

Hey thanks for approving it that much soon...

Overkill? Not sure I understood; anyday disc brakes are better compared to drums. I'm no expert to mix & match, but here's a tip - you may want to check if Apache's/Fiero's fork & discs are a direct match.


IMO, if you need that roaring sound, you need to change the cylinder, head, crankshaft, exhaust, reeds, carbs; but if you change all these you'll also need to change the frame & axle & finally end up changing your motorcycle.
Point - you cannot expect a cat to bark like dog or dog to mew like cat. Pls see this thread who asked something similar to this.


though I've no experience with Shaolin, 26 is way too less; check your motorcycle thoroughly checked at TVS A.S.S & especially with the one who knows about the motorcycle as most of the folks in TVS A.S.S will be familiar only with 4 strokes.

Ok will see to it

Hey thanks man... Will check it with the T.V.S A.S.S as you said...
I accept disc brakes are better than drum brakes but what would be the approximate cost for fitting disc brakes ??

i have found out and the price for the fork and the disc is costing 5k here in bangalore

It will be wise idea to go for a disc breaks only if you plan to have this one for next some years, otherwise it will of no use. As you say you its mileage is just 26kmpl you have a chance to get frustrated with the bikes mileage in next some days.

So what i say is that first try to do something which make the mileage to touch 35kmpl at least and after that go for other physical changes.

And again getting better mileage i have to quote the ideas of "aargee" and it is the only thing you can do for getting a better mileage.

hey man.. i've got a shaolin with a disc brake.. fit hte original suzuki fiero disc. i would suggest te fiero f2 disc(the one on the right hand side) parts for my version are a bit of a pain. to get the speedo worm to wokrk i have to cut open a new worm and replace the mechanicals . so i'd suggest trying out a f2 disc kit.

want it to be louder? try out a shogun free flow. i had that for a while, but it was a bit too loud for me.

i've got a brand new bore kit running. done maybe 3000 km with it. during running in(keeping rpm less than 4k) i would get over 50kmpl. touring i get a mileage of around 40(maintaining speeds of 70-80). open up the engine see if its seized. you could replace the piston.. suzuki never sold oversize pistons, but a forum member managed to ocated the correct oversize pistons and imported them. that could be an option for you

Thanks for the suggestion

Hey man ,

Thanks for the suggestion... Can u tell me the price that will cost me approximately to fix that f2 disc brakes??

Will check my engine if its seized with the help of my mechanic and get back with you for more help if necessary...

Thanks again
