Which motorcycle is better, our esteemed Izh Jupiter 5 or is it Izh Planet 5? Here it is worth considering some facts, such as the power of the motorcycle, its top speed, and of course, the appearance, which is excellent for our respected bike - planet 5.

Let's start from the very beginning, and this is the power of motorcycle technology. If we take into account Jupiter 5. then there are more horses here. And why? Because this technique is two-cylinder. But, however, this can be a big problem when one of the cylinders is inoperative. Here the planet is already acting as the best motorcycle.

If we talk about speed, then Izh Jupiter 5 wins again, because its speed sometimes reaches up to 140 kilometers per hour, which is a fairly good result. And the planet barely stretches one hundred and twenty kilometers. And all again because of the cylinders.

However, Izh planet 5 tuning is never left behind, as improving the motorcycle leads to superiority. Especially when you consider the design, then by making some interventions, you can be sure that the planet wins Jupiter, as tuning does great things. Do you doubt this? Then you should try it yourself! It's not easy, but the result is meaningful!

For tuning, you can use some great chips. For example, painting the gas tank or painting the side guards in your favorite color. It is best to use a metallic finish that shines gracefully in the sun. And shine is the key to the beauty of a motorcycle. Probably every biker dreams of making his motorcycle technology different from the rest. Is that so? Is not it? Nowadays motorcycle racers strive for uniqueness. Uniqueness is in vogue now, and if not, then soon it will be. So, the better you tune your motorcycle, the more perfect it will look.

Especially if you improve the running gear, and for example, make the engine forcing, then the motorcycle will definitely "run". So, let's say we improved the appearance, and also made the internal tuning of the planet 5, then it is already clear to everyone that the planet will be 100 times better than Jupiter. It's that simple!

IZH Jupiter-5, like all IZH motorcycles, is undoubtedly produced by the Izhevsk plant "Izhmash-Moto". The production of this motorcycle began in 1985. Motorcycle IZH Jupiter-5 is operated both with a side trailer and without it - as a loner. By its design and execution it is very close to IZH Planeta-5, but it has a very big difference in the engine. The engine of the IZH Jupiter-5 motorcycle is a two-cylinder two-stroke in-line arrangement of cylinders and looks more solid than a single-cylinder one. The maximum power that the IZH Jupiter-5 engine develops reaches 25 horsepower, which is 3 horses more than that of the IZH Planet-5 single-cylinder brother. IZH Jupiter-5 is very good in dynamics and speed, and as for acceleration, the IZH Jupiter-5 is quite faster than its single-cylinder brother. The IZH Jupiter-5 engine is quite agile - up to 5000 rpm. Unlike heavy motorcycles, such as "Dnepr" or "Ural", IZH Jupiter-5 has one carburetor for two cylinders, respectively, fuel consumption is lower, and the stability of both cylinders is better. IZH Jupiter-5 is driven to the rear wheel by means of a chain, which makes the motorcycle ride quite easy. The maximum speed that IZH Jupiter-5 can reach ranges from 125 to 130 km / h. The bike is really good for those who like to ride. In the latest modifications, liquid cooling is installed on the IZH Jupiter-5 instead of the previous air cooling, which significantly reduces the possibility of engine overheating and, thus, significantly increases the service life. Also in the latest changes to the IZH Jupiter-5 is also the fact that now it has disc brakes on the front wheel, and this is a big plus in safety when driving. In general, IZH Jupiter-5 is an excellent motorcycle for speed lovers, but it also has more than enough power and traction. Tuning such a motorcycle as IZH Jupiter-5 requires from the owner only a desire to change something for the better. Installing all kinds of stylish and useful things on IZH Jupiter-5 can significantly embellish a motorcycle, and give it a completely different stylish look. Even such minor tuning as the installation of original rear-view mirrors will already betray a different look of IZH Jupiter-5. Another change with regard to optics is xenon: after such tuning is done, IZH Jupiter-5 will see like a cat in the dark, yes, and will stand out among others. And how original the neon will look ... - expensive, but attractive tuning. For originality, IZH Jupiter-5 can be installed on the saddle headrest from the car, such tuning betrays not only an attractive appearance, but also convenience to the passenger. To give more shine, then chrome tuning is needed, that is, chrome plating of individual motorcycle parts, respectively, the effect is stunning. Installing roll bars along with mud guards is an excellent tuning not only for beauty, but also for benefit. In general, IZH Jupiter-5 is a huge potential for tuning, the main thing is to know what to do and how to do it, and then the tuning will be good.

Contactless ignition system

He was cheated on contactless ignition, and this is not nonsense. Of course, if you put up with the constant "headache" and periodically adjust the gap and clean the contacts, then the traditional "battery" system works.

fig. 2. Schematic diagram of contactless ignition: 1 - spark plugs, 2 - ignition coils, 3 - switches 4 - Hall sensor connectors, 5 - ignition switch, 6 - battery
But as soon as the battery "gets hooked", starting a cold engine turns into torture. The motorcycle usually waits for me at the dacha for a week, if not more, and every time I need to charge the battery, it takes time, but oh, I really don't want to lose it .. . "Laziness drives progress" - so the idea was born to adapt electronic ignition to "dropsy" - I will be independent of the state of the battery. In one of the issues of "Moto" a description of the installation of the Kovrov generator and ignition on various domestic motorcycles was given. But changing the standard "Izhevsk" one with its 140 watts for 90 watts "Zida" is illogical: the energy of the "lighter" will decrease, and the lighting will "dim". Another drawback: the Kov-Rov generators "pull" in the store for almost one and a half thousand rubles, and still have to spend money on the manufacture of a transitional faceplate. I was advised to use the contactless ignition parts from "VAZ-2108". He was not greedy and installed two Hall sensors and two switches - for each cylinder. This good cost only 500 rubles. It turned out to be a simple matter to symmetrically "put" the sensors in place of the remote contacts-breakers: four plates from the children's designer perfectly hold the entire assembly (photo 1). It remains to make a breaker (modulator) and fix it on the generator rotor shaft. a plate with a hole for a fastening bolt with a spring washer (Fig. 1). I saw the connection diagram of the ignition elements in a car handbook. True, I have two of them, and they work in parallel - each candle is serviced by its own autonomous system (Fig. 2) After loosening the bolt, the modulator plate moves freely, so it is easy to adjust the ignition timing - just set the plate to the sparking position - when the piston approaches TDC. Both switches are located on the frame under the motorcycle seat - next to the generator stabilizer (photo 2) . Field tests were successful. The spark appeared immediately, even more powerful than m before. Later I replaced the ignition coils with "Planet" ones - they are specially designed for contactless ignition. Since the beginning of the season I have traveled about three thousand kilometers. The result is not a single failure and not a single adjustment. The engine runs smoother, the spark plugs become cleaner and last longer - they are also not. I have never changed it. Now, even with a semi-discharged battery, the engine starts easily.
EDITORIAL OPINION
Not only the motorcycle industry, but also automobile plants stubbornly continue to equip engines with an outdated contact ignition system. Its only advantage is its simplicity of design. There are much more disadvantages: electrical and mechanical wear of the contacts occurs, it remains necessary to frequently service them, the energy of the spark drops when the rotation of the knees of the motor shaft accelerates, as well as when the engine is started. The system proposed by the author is more perfect and reliable: it retains all the advantages of a powerful battery ignition (spark energy - 12-20 mJ, discharge duration - 1.5-2.5 msec) over capacitor ignition (4-10 mJ and 0.3 -0.5 msec) - traditional for light motorcycles, including "Zida". In addition, contactless ignition with a Hall sensor ensures normal sparking when the battery voltage drops to 6 V. The circuit is somewhat overloaded - one two-channel switch could be used or two output coil. But there is a silver lining: if a spark "disappeared", for diagnostics, a "parallel" ignition branch serving another cylinder is at hand, and VAZ spare parts are always on sale both in the city and in the roadside store (which cannot be said about "Izhevsk"). Simplicity and relatively low cost of rework is another advantage. Our resolution: the presented development is worthy of a "five plus" rating.

The motorcycle "Izh Jupiter" is one of the brightest pages of the domestic motorcycle industry. He decorated the streets of Soviet cities and villages for several decades. Over the years, a bike with numerous advantages and disadvantages has managed to become desirable and driven, eclipsing some and never reaching others.

The name "Jupiter" in Izhevsk was called a road bike, which differed from another model of the same class ("Izh Planet") only in the number of engine cylinders. The names of both models were fully consistent with the spirit of the era of space exploration. One incident is associated with the name “Jupiter”: on the motorcycle tank, designers have placed an emblem with a stylistic image of a planet with planetary rings, in which it is easily recognizable not Jupiter, but Saturn. In total, five generations of "Jupiters" saw the light and a large number of their modifications, which sometimes differed very insignificantly.

The first motorcycle of the same name was first presented to the general public as "Izh-58" and only then was renamed "Jupiter". The first generation of the model was produced from 1961 to 1966.

Izh Jupiter

The two-cylinder, in-line, two-stroke, 347cc, overhead air-cooled engine (standard on all generations) in the first generation produced only 18 hp. maximum power. It allowed you to move at a maximum speed of 110 km / h, and the average fuel consumption on the highway was about 4 l / 100 km. From the beginning of production and until the closure of production, all Jupiters were equipped with front telescopic and rear pendulum suspensions. The wheelchair modification of the motorcycle was designated by the index "K" in the name (Izh Jupiter-K).

Izh Jupiter-4

New generations of Jupiter appeared at intervals of 3-6 years, constantly adding to the engine power and getting a more modern appearance. The fourth generation became the most powerful - the Izh Jupiter-4 engine was capable of developing 28 hp. maximum power at 5600 rpm. According to this indicator, he surpassed even the "icon" of the entire socialist camp - the Jawa 350 motorcycle (26-27 hp depending on the modification), almost not inferior to him in maximum speed (125 versus 130-133 km / h). The technical characteristics of the bike were quite comparable with some budget models of well-known foreign manufacturers.

Disadvantages of Izh Jupiter

It's no secret that Jupiters have been criticized for their unreliability and poor build quality. It was considered a common situation when the owner of the motorcycle immediately after the purchase reached out all the threaded connections himself, eliminated minor problems (oil leak, poor contact or wiring short circuit). Several thousand kilometers later (sometimes earlier), it was necessary to solve the eternal problem of synchronizing the operation of cylinders, which the single-cylinder Izh Planeta did not have. In this regard, the "Izhevsk single-barrel" was more reliable and, accordingly, in demand.

In the fifth generation, power was sacrificed for improved mid-range torque characteristics. The release of the "Izh Jupiter-5-020-03" modification with a liquid cooling system became the culmination and at the same time the "swan song" of the manufacturer. In 2008, the production of motorcycles in Izhevsk was curtailed.

The specifics of the Soviet industry forced manufacturers to unify the designs of different models as much as possible. As a result, the Jupiter frames and many other components are interchangeable with each other, and in terms of CPG details, the motorcycles are unified with the K-175 (Kovrovets) and other ZID (Voskhod) models.

Tuning Izh Jupiter

Like other Soviet motorcycles, the Jupiter has repeatedly become an object for experiments and improvements. As a result, more or less successful "cross" (long fork from Java, another rear swingarm, rubber, fenders) and forced (cleaning the inlet outlet windows of the cylinder, cutting off the "excess" from the pistons and even "facing" the cylinder heads) apparatus were obtained.

Nowadays, it is rare that a family does not have a car. The car has long ceased to be a luxury, becoming just a means of transportation. Motorcycles on our roads are becoming less common. But it was not always so. During the last few decades of the last century, a completely opposite picture was observed. The car was practically inaccessible to the common man. Many people had to dream of at least a motorcycle. The motorcycle boom fell on 80-90s... The most popular were motorcycles Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant... Of them IZH Jupiter-5 became the most popular model.

General information about the motorcycle

Motorcycle Izh Jupiter-5 is a middle-class road car, adapted for driving on city, highway and country roads. Produced 23 years old, starting out since 1985... The base car had a factory designation IZH 6.113-010-01 with trade name Izh Jupiter-5... The side trailer had IZH 6.114-010-01 under the trade name Izh Jupiter 5K-01.

The engine on a motorcycle is gasoline, carburetor, two-stroke, two-cylinder air-cooled, power 24 l.from. with a volume of 350 cm 3... Battery type ignition system with battery and alternator. All electrical devices are rated for voltage DC 12V.

Rear driving wheel, chain drive. The multi-plate clutch is in an oil bath. Transmission 4-speed with semi-automatic clutch.

Single motorcycle weight - 160 kg, with a stroller -. Maximum speed without sidecar - 125 km / h, with a stroller - 95 km / h... Average fuel mixture consumption, respectively - 5.9 / 7.1 l / 100 km... A mixture of AI-92 gasoline with engine oil in the proportion 1:25 .

The front wheel is mounted in a telescopic fork with hydraulic shock absorbers and springs. Fork travel - 200 mm... The rear wheel has a link suspension with spring hydraulic shock absorbers. Suspension travel 85 mm... The wheels are equipped with tube tires with a standard size of 3.5x18 ″. Distance between wheels 1450 mm... Drum brakes with mechanical drive are installed on both wheels of the motorcycle, the wheel of the side trailer.

In Soviet times, the cost of a motorcycle with a side trailer was 1050 rbl... For motorists, this price was relatively affordable. The average wage level in the country was 140-160 rub. per month... The cheapest VAZ-2101, VAZ-21011 cost 5-6 times more, was completely inaccessible to the majority of the population either in price or in the possibility of acquiring it.

Main advantages

Motorcycles IZH Jupiter -5 were quite simple in design, did not require high maintenance costs... Today, there are many who want to criticize this technique without looking back at times, but the model was in great demand among the population. It is not forgotten even now. On the secondary market only, on Avito websites, it is offered for sale every day more than 2000 pieces of equipment... The main reasons for its popularity are:

• Maintainability and simplicity of design.
• The presence of a semi-automatic clutch.
• Smooth running, comfortable movement.
• Possibility of operation with and without a side trailer.
• Good vehicle dynamics without sidecar.
• Robust welded tubular frame.
• Reliable and simple gearbox.
• Powerful alternator, good light.
• Confident start of the engine in all weather conditions.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of the outstanding qualities of the machine.

The motorcycle has the highest level of maintainability... The scarcity of spare parts of that time gave way to their abundance in our days. Any components can be purchased through online stores or in the markets at affordable prices. With a small set of tools, a motorcycle of the simplest design can easily be sorted out on the road. Replacement of parts of the cylinder-piston group is carried out without problems right in the field. More complex repairs associated with the removal and complete disassembly of the engine is possible in a garage without the involvement of large specialists or special tools.

The motorcycle is equipped semiautomatic clutch, which greatly facilitates the work of the driver. Gear shifting is possible without squeezing the clutch lever on the steering wheel. The clutch release mechanism works automatically when the gearshift foot is pressed. Before pressing the foot, it is advisable to release the throttle - shifting will take place smoothly, without a jerk of the transmission. No other domestic motorcycle has such a system anymore.

The machine is different smooth running in single mode and with a side trailer. Riding a motorbike in good condition is a pleasure. The driver's position is comfortable and ergonomic. The passenger in the side trailer feels comfortable, closed from the flow of oncoming air and dust with a high transparent plastic reflector, a soft durable leatherette awning. The trailer wheel has a spring-hydraulic shock absorber, effectively damping uneven road surfaces.

A motorcycle with an Izh Jupiter-5K-01 index can be operated with or without a side trailer... Operation of a motorcycle with a trailer is possible only if there is a corresponding mark in the technical passport when registering with the traffic police. When installing a trailer, the gear ratio of the main drive is changed by installing a drive sprocket of a smaller diameter by 16 teeth. In this case, the thrust force of the engine increases significantly due to the increase in the number of revolutions of the crankshaft. A 19-tooth drive sprocket is installed on a single motorcycle, increasing the speed of the motorcycle.

Without a sidecar, the machine has good dynamic capabilities. The two-cylinder engine quickly picks up speed, is able to accelerate the car from the parking lot to 100 km / h in 12 sec... This indicator is 0.5-1.0 seconds better than that of the most advanced VAZ-2109 car at that time or a popular imported motorcycle Java-350.

The motorcycle is assembled on robust tubular frame, which is simply impossible to damage if used correctly. The side trailer has its own, no less sturdy frame, made of thick-walled steel pipes.

The gearbox is assembled in one housing with the engine and has your crankcase... The unit is powerful, reliable, always working without problems throughout the life of the motorcycle. On the side cover of the driven clutch mechanism there is an inspection hatch for checking the oil level in the clutch housing and transmission.

The electrical equipment is powered by a powerful modern alternator at 12 in... The alternating current is converted to direct current by a diode bridge. All the old problems associated with the operation of the 6-volt DC generators installed on the previous machines have been eliminated. The electrical system has become much more reliable. Halogen optics are installed in the headlamp, giving a sufficiently powerful stream of light.

The engine starts reliably at any time of the year due to the installation of an emergency start system that supports starting with a weakly charged battery.

Disadvantages and childhood illnesses

The car is not without its drawbacks, for which many do not like it. Most of them are manifested as a result of improper operation or overheating of the engine in difficult road conditions. The most annoying are the following disadvantages:

• Rapid wear of parts of the cylinder-piston group and crankshafts.
• Low resource of chain drive parts.
• Uneven cylinder operation.
• Poor-quality electrical connectors.
• Imperfect, archaic saddle-to-frame design.

The wear of the main engine parts is the most problematic for motorcycle owners. Even correct and careful operation is accompanied by early wear of pistons, cylinders, and crankshaft parts. A new engine after a run 15-20 thousand km there are extraneous metal sounds that increase over time. They can be caused by one or more reasons:

1. Worn bushing of the upper connecting rod head.
2. Cylinder wear.
3. Piston skirt worn.
4. Falling out of the lock from the groove of the piston ring with its break.
5. Destruction of the connecting rod needle bearing on the crankshaft.

The indicated defects can be eliminated only by replacing parts of the next repair size, by boring the cylinders and bushings. All these works, except for replacing the crankshafts, can be done without removing the engine.

Poor quality chains or inattention to the condition of the rubber covers lead to rapid wear of the drive... In this case, the driving sprocket also wears out just as quickly, which must be replaced along with the chain. The rear gear lasts longer and can survive 3 or even 4 chains.

Rarely does a motor have perfect cylinder uniformity. The primitive mechanism for adjusting the distribution of the fuel mixture flows over the cylinders does not allow accurate adjustment of the feed. As a result, each cylinder fulfills its torque... The difference, although not great, but the load on the crank system is not uniform and balanced. As a result, it works with a skew in the values \u200b\u200bof the force vectors, the more loaded crankshaft quickly fails. The presence of unevenness is easy to detect by candle color... The color of the carbon deposits on the candles should be the same, if there is a significant difference, then this primarily indicates the uneven operation of the cylinders. It can be adjusted, but the regular process is poorly managed and laborious.

Electrical wiring completed low quality wires and connectors... Cases of oxidation of contacts or breakage of wires as a result of vibration of a loose connection have a massive phenomenon.

The design of fastening the saddle to the frame has not changed since the appearance of the first IZHs of a similar arrangement in the early 60s. After a short operation, the lock loosens from vibration, an unpleasant backlash appears in the joints. Under the saddle are the connectors from the wires going to the rear guard optics and to the side trailer. Many owners, forgetting about this, simply tear the wires under the saddle when removing it. The rear wheel cannot be removed without removing the seat.

Conclusion

In the secondary market, the youngest and most decent motorcycle Izh Jupiter-5 can be purchased for 35-50 thousand rubles... Today, foreign models are more popular among young people. Relatively inexpensive products from the Middle Kingdom seized our market, finally strangling the domestic manufacturer. However, older people prefer old domestic motorcycles to Chinese consumer goods. There are new developments in the country, but modern models of our motorcycles are very expensive. People are willing to restore and use old cars.

In this regard, an imported car competes with Jupiter-5. Java-350... But it, in a comparable condition, is 2 or even 3 times more expensive. Heavy motorcycles like Ural or Dnipro difficult to operate without a side trailer, they are less maneuverable and mobile, more complex in design and expensive to maintain. They competed with Izh-Jupiter-5 only in Soviet times with cheap gasoline and fuels and lubricants.

Motorcycle Izh Jupiter-5 can and should be bought by people capable of carry out maintenance and repairs yourself... A tuned machine, with a careful and careful attitude, will bring many more benefits to people, will delight with its reliability, maneuverability and comfort. Such an acquisition will be especially valuable for rural residents. A single motorcycle Izh Jupiter-5 was created for rural roads, behaves well in urban conditions and on the highway.

People who do not want to delve into the intricacies of the structure of their two-wheeled friend and do not have locksmith skills should not buy a domestic motorcycle, including the most modern one.

The history of the IZH motorcycle plant started in 1929, when it released the first experimental series of motorcycles. The classification of large motorcycles includes the classic model.
In the history of the creation of Izh motorcycles, there is a special stamped frame, which is equipped with two cylinders and a strong muffler body, which is located in the side of the frame. These specifications were present across the entire range of motorcycles that were shipped in that year. The transport surprised me with its characteristics and engine configuration. But nothing has been heard about the history of the name il.

Motorcycle engine IZH

Engines with an unusual in-line arrangement of two cylinders, a four-stroke B-shaped engine, the power of which is 1200 cc. see and permissible performance of 24 hp.
The engine parts assembly was positioned vertically, a three-speed transmission was built into the engine block. The vehicle could be equipped with trailers for transporting passengers or transporting goods. Thanks to the propulsion system, the motorcycle can move freely in rural areas.

History of IZH motorcycle models

• bright light;
• reliable steel frame;
• mechanical transmission;
• rear wheel drive;
• corfu, which is located above the rear wheel axle.

Despite the fact that the IZH-2 is more modernized, the IZH-1 is equipped with an additional engine maintenance mechanism. Four passengers could ride on the motorcycle at the same time: the driver and the passenger who sits in the back, as well as two passengers who are in the sidecar.

Motorcycle IZH - 3

To reduce the number of technologies, the workers of the Izhevsk plant improved this transport, a power plant from the transport company Wanderer.

The modern motorcycle surprised:

• A V-twin four-stroke engine, which features a special arrangement of two cylinders, as well as pistons that rotate one common crankshaft;
• a collapsible frame made of pressed metal parts;
• classic front axle suspension;
• parallelogram fork with mechanical spring;
• rear wheel axle;
• front-wheel drive.

Three-speed transmission and special dry clutch, as well as a two-stroke internal combustion engine, with one cylinder in a vertical position. The motor is cooled by the air flow. It is characterized by high performance indicators. This model has participated in a large number of competitive races.

Motorcycle IZH - 8
The car for one passenger is equipped with a single-cylinder engine, in which each cylinder is operated during one revolution of the crankshaft. The motor is influenced not only by the double blowing, but also by the efficient work of cooling with air. This car has repeatedly taken part in competitions and won prizes.

Motorcycle IZH - 9

At the beginning of the 40s in the history of IZH motorcycles, the assembly of this model began at the plant with the name "Red October". It differed from others in that the designers here significantly increased the performance of the motor. The motor is subjected to double blowing and air cooling.

Motorcycle IZH-12

At the same time, documents were sent from Leningrad for the L-8 model, which is equipped with a piston engine. The engine displacement is 348 cc. and the permissible productivity is 13.5 hp. To improve the performance of the new motorcycle, the engineers decided to use a frame, axles, suspension, wheels with tires from Izh-9. In the summer of 41, a large-scale production of a new product was planned. However, the emergence of such a model was prevented by military action.

Motorcycle IZH - 350

In the history of IZH motorcycle bicycles in 46, the plant received equipment from Germany, which was provided at the expense of financial liability, and mastered the production technology of a new vehicle. The German DKW-NZ350 has become a copy of the new model. The engineers decided to start work on a new model at a weapons factory.

Motorcycle IZH-350S

History of IZH motorcycles in 1948 in Izhevsk, a telescopic fork replaced the archaic fork. Based on new modern concepts, a motorcycle of the Izh class was produced. A cast iron liner and a high-quality aluminum cylinder were part of the new engine. Its performance has increased in comparison with the IZH-12 model by 1 hp.

Motorcycle IZH - 49

The design of a single-cylinder engine, in which the work of each of the cylinders is performed in one revolution of the crankshaft. The motor is effectively influenced by double blowing as well as air cooling. The concept of a new transport was invented in Leningrad, at a plant called "Red October". Three-speed gearbox with sliding gear pair transmitting motion. The machine is excellent for transporting on rural roads, thanks to the unique shock absorbers of the rear axle suspension and the telescopic fork. The soft ride is provided by the rear wheel suspension and telescopic fork. A stamped frame adorned this model, then it was discontinued and no longer installed on other motorcycles.

Motorcycle IZH-55

This model began to be mass-produced in the late 50s. The new model has positioned itself in the history of IZH motorcycles as a sports vehicle.

Motorcycle IZH - 56

The stamped irreplaceable frame was nevertheless replaced with a welded, stronger one. The double seat made the vehicle completely new, and it was the beginning of a whole new era of semi-sport motorcycles. The rear axle suspension works great thanks to a swinging fork and a hydraulic spring dampening device. The cushioning is attached to the frame around its axis. The front axle as well as the rear axle replace each other. The motor of this vehicle was equipped with a cylinder, which consists of a bimetallic material with a cast iron liner mounted in it.

Motorcycle IZH - 58

The mechanism of this tool connected two crankshafts, one flywheel was used, which is located in a special chamber between the cylindrical spheres. After a series of tests of the new engine passed, the IZH-58 model became available to users. Engine performance 18 liters. from. The vehicle was originally named IZH-58. After some time, the model was called Jupiter. The motorcycle model was available to buyers in two variations: it could be driven by only one driver, or additionally a trailer could be attached for joint trips.

History of motorcycles Izh Planeta - lineup

Motorcycle IZH Planet

The history of the creation of the IZH Planet motorcycle was not easy. "IZH - Jupiter" formed the basis of a new model, which was seen by a domestic user in 62. An improved version of Jupiter is coming off the assembly line: Izh Planet. IZH Planet 1 characteristics: The new "Planet" differed from the "Jupiter" in the technical features of the tank, where the gasoline was poured, in the driver's seat. Izh planet 1 photo. The front and rear flaps and the exhaust pipe have changed. Thus, the driver's seat, which could not be removed earlier, became easy to remove, the shields became stamped welded.

Motorcycle IZH Planet - 2

Izh planet 2 technical characteristics - increased engine performance and other technical characteristics of the rotating suspension parts. Instead of stamped ones, solid parts were used, which were specially made from aluminum.

Motorcycle IZH Planet - 3

The most successful units "Izh Yu-3" and "Izh Yu-3K" formed the basis of a new motorcycle. Technical characteristics of IZH Planet 3 - changed gasoline tank, tool boxes, stamped shields, a more efficient engine with an upgraded transmission. The steering wheel was at a comfortable distance from the driver, the fit and control mechanism were improved in the model. This motorcycle became famous for the direction indicators, which for the first time adorned the lineup of the Izhevsk plant.

Motorcycle IZH Planet Sport

This transport is intended for individual and group travel. History of IZH Planet sport has come a long way. The vehicle meets the standards of the international and domestic market.
... This model has been improved according to technological criteria, it is safe and comfortable for daily trips, and has striking external characteristics. All these positive features were achieved as a result of the correct arrangement of all elements. Smooth line of gas tank, frame, seat. Different colors are available. The practice of Soviet motorcycle construction for the first time introduced a system that separates engine oil, thanks to an automatic dosing device. This new development made it possible to reduce the chemical toxicity of the elements emitted by the exhaust pipe. Many new technical solutions became the basis for the modernization of all previously released motorcycles. This motorcycle had new dynamic properties - the time during which a vehicle could travel 100 km / h did not exceed 10 seconds. Manufacturers have also reduced fuel consumption, which ensured efficient operation of the transport.
