2500 KM ownership Upgrade

I have been riding the gun as my primary commuter & she completed 2500 kms today.
So far she has been a hoot to ride, and i am sure my entire neighborhood curse me, when i roar in at 4 AM in the morning back from work.

Few of things i observed so far
1. The performance is closely related to the type of fuel used, Indian OIL (normal) + STP octane booster is the very best so far.

2. 2t oil consumption has been on the higher side due to the brand new bore/piston & the setting. so far 4.5 ltrs for 2500kms.

3.The nuts & bolts do need tightening every 1000 kms.

4.Spare part availability is not that big a issue, once you get your contacts

Is it a direct fit? What is the cost of Swingram? Any considerable difference in stability?

@adi..did you get the cdi kit installed?

adityasiera · 4th January 2011, 01:27

Gun completed 3500kms yesterday

few things that came to light so far.

Engine has opened up nicely, revs cleanly to 11k RPM.
2T Oil usage is about 1L/1000k.
Removed the original headlight assembly & put on the Yezdi Roadking head lamp unit.(400 rs+100 rs for installation).The result is +10 meter illumination.

The CDI kit project is put on hold, as i have run in to issues, shoehorning the rx pulser unit on the shogun magento.

and that's why the query.

you guys are talking about what is known as the "Shogun Shadow" they were black in color.
I suppose 200 to 250 of these were made as "factory specials". They were sold off the counter during a motocross race and i think the race was held in nashik. needless to say, they were all sold out in a few hours max.

would have to dig around a little bit to find out more.

This thread brought back lots of old memories ! Loved my black Shogun to bits .. had it for 5 years and then sold it (shoulder and arm pain, docs advise). Whattabike !

Yes, I do recall reading about this version.

adityasiera · 6th January 2011, 21:40

I have a Muffler unit for the shogun, brand new. any one interested please PM me.

Shogun V2.0 Update

Finally after more than a year & 9000 KM later, she got what she deserved. A better front suspension(Off a Bajaj Disco 125, with a Brembo Disc Setup)

Mudguard changed to matte black, new side panels(4th one) and engine clean up.. Was pleasantly surprised as a lot of guys came up to me at stop lights, complimented & then the question ( do you plan to sell it :O).

I will upload the pics tomorrow. Boy i am in love all over again, getting out of the bed to catch a glimpse, taking her out for spin early in the morning.

2 Strokes provide the instant go. And the feeling of a de-clutch on a 2 stroke with an expansion chamber is the best feeling compared to something similar experienced when done on a sports bike of 600+ cc. The gun, shaolin, Rx's, Z's all shall be missed !

rust_in_peace · 9th January 2012, 22:24

You really reminded me of my first ride.
A 94 model shogun,
It was my soul for long 10 years and i sold it on 2004 with a heavy heart.
The availability of spare parts was a very big issue.
Really appriciate the effort to bring back her in shape. Congrats on the rebuild.
Here i am sharing you the picture of my 94 Shogun
