Hello Everyone!
I am a new member of this forum.This is my first post on xbhp.
I recently bought a Suzuki shogun (1996). The bike looks good but there are few problems in the the bike.
I have almost gone through every thread on this forum on shogun. I had bought a shogun which I sold after using it for 2 months as it required an engine overhaul,cosmetic upgrade.I wasn't aware of the unavailability of the spares then and after searching for parts and hearing outrageous price quoted by many I decided to sell my gun for an YEZDI B type. After few weeks, I regreted my decision for selling my gun and that sound of that exhaust remained in my ears. So my hunt began for a good condition shogun and finally after going through a lot of pain I came across a good condition bike. I bought it for immediately.
The problems of the bikes are as follow:
The sound of the exhaust is different from my previous gun. I have attached the pictures of my gun below.
After speaking to my mechanic he said the the block will require a boring job. I am aware that OS ART pistons with SGP rings are impossible to get but can any of you suggest any other brand of piston which we do a fairly good job? Also,I don't know if the block has been rebored before but the guy from which i bought the bike claimed that it has standard block.
Also the fairing is aftermarket but it doesn't have the stickers on it. As of now,riding it the way it is and figuring out what more needs to be done.Will start the rebuild only after collecting the required parts.
Any comments from members will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

The problems of the bikes are as follow:
- There is little piston slap in the engine.
- The engine feels a little stressed when riding with a pillion.
- The bike flutters after 80km/h.
- It revs hard but doesn't move that fast.
- The tachometer doesn't work.
- Oil pump doesn't work.
- Signal indicators are different.
- Missing oil tank.
