Vladimir, then when you install the stealth one, write how it will work. Thank you in advance
I bought it from TsF, it’s not at all expensive, unlike the Leopardovsky one, I installed it, it fits perfectly, just like my own. 40) and I’ll install them - they will be tougher, I think they’ll last for a long time - the only question is will it withstand the temperature? Everything in our suspension is the same. Everything is installed without modifications.
81451300 I will order. There, the staples are just sharpened a little and that’s it. I wonder how much a caliper from Oka costs in a car shop. Mine fires when I release the gas. I never had any problems on the slopes.
This means you need to buy it right away. Well, it will be seen, maybe it will last for a long time. I’m also thinking about attaching something to the snowflake, maybe I’ll put these round LED lights on it. Then it’s easier to throw out the standard ones and install LED ones.
10 seconds there is an inscription and there are no more inscriptions - on the website where I ordered there is also only the article: Article: 2.9.01.0200 Part number: LU01895. Yes, it is similar, but the price is not much different, in Moscow the original one costs about 1800 rubles, it’s easier to buy it. I added interchangeable parts and mechanisms to the first page, I will transfer all useful information there.
The model was completely developed and manufactured at the Zhukovsky Motorcycle Plant. Let's continue... About cleaning the mesh on the carburetor, unscrew the screw on the right, unscrew the mesh and clean it: 110 111 Putting everything back together. I installed a fine fuel filter, I hope I won’t have to climb into the carburetor anymore. 196 198 I removed the gas tap, connected everything directly, changed the fuel hose to 8 mm, and drilled out a fitting in the gas tank with a 5 mm drill to make it easier for gasoline to flow.
In. And next week I’ll post a report on how I killed Balta Dzhambika first! When I start the engine in the cold, the choke works for the first half a minute, then it needs to be removed and the engine warmed up with the accelerator until it warms up.

Advantages
Do you want to buy a Stealth 600 Leopard ATV, but have doubts? First of all, you should soberly evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of equipment assembled in Russia.
The positive qualities of the model include:
- Low cost, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by buyers on a limited budget.
- Durability of the structure, created with Russian off-road conditions in mind. The powerful steel frame and energy-intensive suspension can successfully withstand high loads.
- A high-torque engine that, thanks to the successful selection of transmission gear ratios, is capable of fully realizing the available power.
- Good cross-country ability, ensured by large strokes of the elastic and energy-intensive suspension.

Types of ATVs from Stels
ATVs are usually divided into two types: utilitarian and sports.
The line of sports ATVs is the most powerful racing equipment, which has impressive parameters and has increased cross-country ability. A striking example of this is the Stealth Cheetah ATV. This model has several varieties that differ in power.
Utilitarian ATVs are designed for amateur riding; they have a less powerful engine, which nevertheless allows you to easily overcome difficult obstacles.
Utilitarian equipment is usually used when traveling for hunting, fishing and just for entertainment. This group also includes children's and teenagers' all-terrain vehicles.
Children's ATVs are a line of all-terrain vehicles that help introduce children to cross-country trips on their own transport. The products are available in several colors and are designed to carry one or two children.
Teenage ATVs are usually purchased for children over ten years of age.
Comparison with competitors
The main opponents of the domestic utility are devices from the Cheetah and Leopard series. Many buyers prefer the more “fresh” and powerful Guepard 800. Of course, the device costs almost 100 thousand rubles. more expensive than its predecessor, but significantly superior in technical characteristics. You can also consider the middle model of the line - Stels 700.
The Guepard and Leopard 650 are not far behind the Stels ATV 650. The cars are very similar both externally and technically. But Cheetah is more versatile. The double unit is suitable for work, leisure and tourism. A single Leopard 650 YL costs only 30 thousand rubles. cheaper than its brother.
The Sportsman 600, developed by Polaris, also competes with the Russian ATV. The athlete, introduced back in 2005, is inferior to the Cheetah in power and maneuverability. The American also loses a little in price. The cost of a Sportsman ranges from 580 to 620 thousand rubles, while the Stels 650 ATV can be purchased for 460-558 thousand rubles.

- declared power at races is not always enough;
- frequent need for repairs.
Most athletes who have tested the Stealth at races are of the same opinion - the ATV is not bad, but it is not suitable for competitions. It is better to use it for walking.
Features of operation
Reviews of the Stealth Leopard 500 ATV are quite contradictory due to minor design flaws. For example, users who bought the Leopard for tourism noted that the frame was a bit short. Driving with a passenger becomes a real challenge.
Also in the Leopard the quality of the fuel system, exhaust pipe, and main lighting is poor. Therefore, the buyer should immediately tune in to upgrading the machine. But despite all the shortcomings, the device is extremely popular.

The owners will also be pleased with the equipment of the ATV. Even the basic set is enough for comfortable driving and work.

Special mention should be made about the 300V model. It is suitable for both beginners and teenagers. Its technical component is similar to the more advanced models 500 and 600. The 300V all-wheel drive ATV is often used on the farm for transporting building materials, snow, etc.

Reviews
The most popular model is the 500GT. Many motorists have managed to purchase and test this Stealth ATV in practice. Reviews are both positive and negative. Although the company is considered quite good in terms of producing utilitarian equipment, not all customers were satisfied with the purchase.
The following shortcomings were noticed:
- not all parts are screwed on well, especially the gear shift lever;
- the signal does not always work;
- the winch is initially dry, there is a coating of rust in places;
- at speeds over 50 km/h, cracks appear in the plastic;
- Driving together is quite dangerous; the space for a passenger is not fully thought out.
Of course, these are not critical shortcomings, and it is quite possible that the percentage of defects is very small. The owners also note the advantages of the equipment:
- ATVs "Stealth" prices are quite affordable.
- Comfortable driver's seat.
- Excellent external data.
- High cross-country ability.
- Economical fuel consumption.
- Ease of repair.
It is worth saying that the Stealth 500 ATV can be easily improved. This applies to the mode of use of the vehicle. Let’s say that for those who like to travel on water, the tires are changed to special ones, which allows the ATV to literally “float”. In addition, tuning centers can add the number of passenger seats, hand warmers and other useful additions.
Flaws
- Modest dynamic performance. The car is unlikely to be suitable for customers who want to satisfy their sporting ambitions. They will have to find something more powerful and faster.
- Quite high fuel consumption. They have to pay for installing a carburetor instead of an injection system, and for good traction with a limited engine volume.
- Build quality. It cannot be called bad, but the manufacturer certainly has some work to do.
Children's line of ATVs
Children's ATVs "Stealth 50c" and 100RS are designed with the safety of the little driver in mind. These vehicles have a remote control with which you can adjust the speed limit. The maximum acceleration on such an ATV is 65 km/h, but manual control allows you to reduce this figure to walking speed.
Many fathers, wanting to instill in their child a love of motorcycles, turn their attention to the Stealth ATV. Reviews from parents indicate that this model is convenient, practical, compact and safe, so even a teenager can operate it.
The 50c and 100RS ATVs have a petrol engine with a displacement of 49.2 cc and 91.3 cc respectively. These models have a carburetor power system and an uncontrolled electric ignition system. Transmission – V-belt variator.
The cost of children's ATVs is 90-150 thousand rubles. Therefore, if the economic situation allows, the models described above for the future driver are a fairly good investment.
