Despite the fact that since the end of the issueThis model of motorcycles has passed more than 40 years, it continues to drive along bumpy roads of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and other CIS countries. It's about the motorcycle "Izh Planeta-2."
History
Дорожный мотоцикл "Иж Планета-2" выпускался plant "Izhmash" in the period from 1965 to 1971. For 6 years of release of model the world has seen about 245 000 its copies. The "Planet-2" was covered by a guarantee from the manufacturer for a year and a half or 15,000 kilometers of mileage.
Previous model "Izh Planet" was less powerful and comfortable. In addition to increased capacity, Izhmash engineers did not make significant changes to the new Izh Planeta-2 bike.
The subsequent model "Izh Planeta-3" is consideredthe most reliable among all Soviet "Planets". The third model of single-cylinder motorcycles "Izh" has a more modern design in comparison with the previous one. Also, "Planet-3" is equipped with turn signals, the motor has a loopback. The new braking system and improved grip are characteristic for the motorcycle "Izh Planeta-3".
Characteristic
At that time, modern parametersmotorcycle "Izh Planet-2". Technical characteristics are: a two-stroke engine with a capacity of 346 cu. cm drives a 155-kilogram motorcycle. Engine power - 15 horsepower at crankshaft speeds of 4,200-4,600 per minute. The fuel mixture enters the cylinder together with the lubricating oil. After ignition, a compression of about 7 is created in the normal cylinder. The fuel enters the K-36I carburetor by gravity from a tank of 18 liters, after which it is sucked in by the piston in the cylinder.
The maximum speed is 105 kilometers per hour, withThis increases fuel consumption, and the engine resource is significantly reduced. The crankshaft rotation is transmitted by a two-row chain to the clutch, and to the wheels - a two-way, four-speed transmission via a multi-disc clutch system. From the box to the rear wheel, the rotation is transmitted by a chain, the gear ratio of which is 2.33.
The smoothness of the movement is ensured by the systemdepreciation. The front telescopic fork is equipped with a spring mechanism with a hydraulic shock absorber. Rear fork pendular, with the same shock absorber as the front. The frame of the motorcycle is not folding, all-metal, tubular.
Conditions of repair and operation
The motorcycle is designed so that its repair does not require special conditions, tools and equipment. It is desirable, but not necessary, to have during the assembly of the motor, the ignition setting:
- solvent;
- flat screwdriver with a tapping;
- a brush for metal;
- collar heads;
- wrench;
- Compressometer;
- micrometer;
- multimeter;
- a soldering lamp (ideally it is with the help of their fingers inserted into the new pistons);
- scan on 14, etc.
It would seem that the list of instruments and instrumentsthere is not in every garage. In fact, all of the above can be replaced with conventional tools.
