My new ride... RD350 :D

Rice_tuner · 16th January 2006, 17:19

h'lo...just back from the garage... seems the crank has been rebuilt(by sum "Rd mech" in new mumbai) the mech says there wont be any "bearing noise" now...

@Steeroid:- hey...is chinoy based in banglore? cuz i asked the guy i bought my bike from n he does'nt have too much of a clue on which cdi kit it is except that its made by someone in banglore...so hoping its chinoy's!

the pic will be up by wednesday
any "RD tips" are totally welcome..

cheers!

Lets just say that if it was from Chinoy, HE WOULD KNOW. This is probably some Shogun unit pushed into the RD.

You dont come across Chinoy's kit by accident.

best way to check.
chinoys kit is a white transparent box.
a little round thing.

very clean and distinct looking.
the chances that you are running a chinoy Cdi are almost nil.

moreover if your running that CDi the difference can very well be felt.

im going to be coming to see your shogun tomorrow.so ill confirm for you

cheers

Rice_tuner · 17th January 2006, 08:24

yea...guess ur right...did do a little groundwork n found out its weirdly impossible rather difficult to get a kit from chinoy...

i dont have a digicam yet, so will take pix thru a cell or sumthin in the next couple of days
sorry bout the delay for the pix...

the shoguns been overhauled bout 1100 km back (rebored engine with a new piston,new clutch plates,new cdi unit)
the engine is very sound...cosmetically, it needs a bit of tightening here and there..

zulfikar · 17th January 2006, 09:28

well
first of all congrats on ur Buy...

i had 2 RD's
1st 84 HT with CDI use to give me 20-22Kmpl...very well maintained.

2nd 86 or 88 LT Dont rember the year with CB Points use to give me 24-25...(trust me on that Figures)

i had lot of Problems with the LT had to get the CB Points set evey few days once in 2 weeks...
other than that NO Problems...

i had a Mech who use to come From Bhopal and Service my bikes in Hyd...
i Belive few of the guys here Might know him...

devarshi84 · 18th January 2006, 05:42

there are many few mechanics who are genuine with their reputation to service with the RD. Try asking other RD owners where they get their RD serviced. It will be helpful.

Otherwise I know many people who have had their RD's spoiled by the mechanics who dunno how to service and repair a twin cylinder bike.

That is Chinoy's old listing of parts...he doesnt sell parts anymore. At least not locally. You'll find a more complete listing on his new site rddreams
