About the TVS Shaolin
Overview
The TVS Shaolin is a motorcycle from TVS Motor. It has been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. With a 138 cc engine it sits in the 125–150 cc class.
Engine and performance
Power comes from a 138 cc air-cooled engine that makes 12.0 PS at 6,750 rpm and 12.3 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. Its bore is wider than its stroke (57.6 x 53.0 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 105 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. It has kick start only.
Gearbox
It has a 5-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel.
Chassis, brakes and tyres
Braking is by a 130 mm drum at the front and a 130 mm drum at the rear. It rides on 18-inch wheels — 2.50 x 18, 4/6PR at the front and 2.75 x 18, 4/8PR at the rear.
Size, comfort and range
It weighs 114 kg ready to ride, light enough to push around and park easily. It is 1,865 mm long, with 1,208 mm between the axles. It carries 12.0 L of fuel.

Maintaining the TVS Shaolin
Routine servicing
Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Engine oil & filter
Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
Brake inspection
With Drum, 130 mm and Drum, 130 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
Chain cleaning & lubrication
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
Air filter & spark plug
A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.
Tyre inspection
This bike runs 2.50 x 18, 4/6PR / 2.75 x 18, 4/8PR tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
Battery & electricals
Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

TVS Shaolin specs explained
What the technical terms on this page mean.
- Air cooling
- The engine is cooled by air flowing over its fins. It is simpler and needs no coolant, which keeps upkeep straightforward.
- Kerb weight
- The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
- Bore x stroke
- The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
