Suzuki AX200 2 Stroke Parallel Twin from 2 Singles

By Paul Crowe

AX200 twin from 2 singles by Renjith RaoRenjith Rao, one of The Kneeslider’s readers in India, has taken his Suzuki AX100 single cylinder 2 stroke and turned it into a parallel twin. The crankshafts are mechanically connected inside the joined cases and run at 180 degrees. Though a 200cc engine may be small over here, it’s a big jump from the small displacement engines of the type common in India.

The appearance of the engine after all of the work is pretty clean and is one more indication that builders with their own idea can do some very nice modifications as long as they start with sufficient motivation. Ingenuity doesn’t require fully equipped machine shops, it requires ambition and perseverance. Nice work, Renjith!

    Hmmm, Suzuki RD 200. Somebody should send this guy some instructions on how to build expansion chambers.

    That engine looks like it belongs in there, nice work indeed.

    Ok that’s pretty neat, and as Paul points out, it’s done by a cat with perhaps limited resources compared to the rest of us. I was also impressed by the fellow who built the V-twin Enfield. Again….very cool!

    He should indeed throw some chambers on that beastie!

    Well done. I’m always impressed with how some people can do such technical work with limited resources.

    Nice work Renjith! How about a video that includes the sound of the new powerplant?

    thnx all. Comments have been really encouraging that you all are pretty aware of the ‘resources’ front prevalent here. The pic is of the first test proto, It currently features twin exhaust pipes & most importantly runs a 90 degree crank setup. Would put a videolink soon.

    Hi
    Thats terrific !! I have long dreamed of taking singles and making them twins – only thing is I am mechanically challenged – dont know how to do this. I am good for basic stuff like maintenance but when it comes to playing with engines I dont have the knowledge.
    Can anyone tell me how the bottom end is worked out ? also the gears ? Does the gear box remain the same ?
    If anyone has mr Renjith’s number or email pl send it to me at nadirkaranjia@mac.com
    thanks
