My next project is Daksh Pratap Singh's Suzuki Shaolin. Its a full rebuild with a few tweaks here and there to the engine as the parts available are expensive and bad quality at the same time. Was considering a few import options for engine parts and here they are
1. This is the Yamaha VR150 piston kit which uses almost the same dimensions as the Suzuki Shaolin. Here's a Comparo with the Shaolin piston in LHS
Split the cases and got the crankshaft out. Interesting how it has the webs cut from the factory.
Also to update the reed valve system trying to see if a TZR250 6-petal reed valve intake system will work with this setup or not.
Will update soon
Regards

ReplyDeleteThe standard vr 150's piston exceeds the final 1.00mm oversize piston of Suzuki Shaolin by .1XX mm. Stick onto vr150's piston after you have ended all possible oversizes of Suzuki pistons. I have one such setup on my Shaolin since 7 years with toppro vr 150's 0.25mm oversized piston.! To accommodate that piston, vehicle needs few mods!
ReplyDelete1. The vr 150 piston is lengthy from the true centre of gudgeon pin towads bottom end, so one must shave the piston bottom to avoid piston making contact with crank case
2.shaolin Con rod cannot accommodate the vr150's gudgeon pin. One has to find alternative solution for that as well (I switched to rx135's con rod coupled with Suzuki shaolin's crank; shaved barrel to match top dead centre of the altered piston and crank con setup)
Bottom line: one needs competent mechanic who has good experience with aftermarket mods and yes, a precise workshop too:)
Cheers to two strokes:)
