Ask your friend to go for modern age bikes. Two strokes era already facing the extinction. Spares do not come easily and you'll have to hunt across cities. Unless he is so inclined to get 2stroke I would not suggest, save your friend from jumping into the world of surprises (2stroke). It is not worth right now to go for 2stroke bikes where there are many offerings in 4 stroke with better technology. No doubt that 2strokes gives more kick than 4 stroke, however, you'll need lot of money to maintain one.

hez crazy abt 2 strokes bro,,he already has a Bullet in his stable.he needs a new bike rx or shaolin or shogun,,,so hez in a confusion which one is the best one to buy.. mileage and maintenance is not an issue...he just need a 2 stroke bike to scream through traffic..so throw some light bro

I think guys we are drifiting off the topic of the thread here. Vinoob plz discuss this on this thread http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/thumpers...i-shaolin.html for example. Will be far more relevant. .

Peace. . .

thnkzz bro...i went through that thread...was quite helpful

Lets get into some serious Shaolin discussions now. . .

Require Help

Guys

Need stickers & a silencer for Shaolin, can somebody help me out pls....

Lol.....eagerly opened this link...fine will wait till April

try puthupet in chennai it should be available there also try ksr at puthupet

Tried in Pudupet but couldnt get a decent one (Silencer)...have asked one of my friends to check in Coimbatore, there is a shop called Latch Automobiles he had some time back...let me check all known sources and see...

What Sriram has pointed out here is somewhat correct. I will not be so negative in my approach, but the bottom line is, if you can't live without 2-strokes, only then go for it. And to be able to make it perform they way it should, it really requires lot of patience than money.

I will give an example, one of my best friend needed a brand new OEM RX135 5-Speed cylinder kit (4TL10) & was even ready to shell out close to Rs.15,000/-, but it was not about money anymore, i just couldn't find it. I later convinced him to go for a 4-speed bore & get it stage 2+ ported & that is what he did.

So i would say do a market research first & get the first hand situation regarding spares. If you can't find some spares for 2-strokes in Bangalore, 90% chances are that you wont find them anywhere else.

Another aspect regarding price, let us assume that a Shogun Crank assembly was costing Rs.1500/- in the year 1998 (This is just an assumption) & today after 13Yrs, you can't expect to get that same crank at the same price !!!! Even the company hikes their prices every 3-4 Yrs with a percentage of maybe 30-40% on the material. So calculating based on 40% hike every 4 years, we end up at a figure of Rs.3900/- for the year 2011. This is nothing but inflation. Everybody adds their margin and this is pure business. Now when an individual is making up his margin based on the year of purchase, it becomes a crime. Lets get real & practical here, you can't have different rules for an individual and a company.
