Minsk is a family of motorcycles of Soviet and Belarusian production. Also includes scooters, ATVs and snowmobiles. The first MMVZ model was presented in 1951. In 2007, the brand of the same name was renamed M1NSK. During the years of the USSR, products were available not only within, but also outside the Union. The brand took an active part in motorsports, especially in cross-country and circuit competitions. Thus, the first cross-country model “M-201K” debuted in 1956, and along with it the M-201M enduro class model was introduced. In 1961, production of the first road-ring motorcycle ShK-125 with a 23-horsepower engine began. In 1971, the company introduced its first racing circuit bike, the M-211, with a developed fairing. Its successors are considered to be the MMVZ-3 216 (1977) and MMVZ-3.227 (1986) models.
What oil should be used for a Minsk motorcycle engine
Original
For motorcycles MMVZ-3.113 and MMVZ-3.119, oil for two-stroke engines is recommended - M-12TP (TU 38.401.666-87). In addition, MGD14M (TU 38.101.930-87) is also suitable. For the M1NSK C4 200 motorcycle equipped with a four-stroke engine, Motul 5100 4T 10W-40 oil recommended by the MotoVelo factory is suitable.
Unoriginal
For Minsk motorcycles with two-stroke engines, it is recommended to use mineral or semi-synthetic oil Lukoil Moto 2T or TNK 2T. Viscosity – 10W-40 or 15W-40. All-season liquid M-8B is also suitable. The following oils should be used in four-stroke engines:

Minsk is a truly legendary motorcycle. I haven’t even met people in the city limits of Pskov (everyone here is spoiled by Japanese and Chinese sportbikes) who haven’t ridden or at least heard of this motorcycle. You can talk about him for a long time and only good words, which unfortunately in this case are very few in my vocabulary. Nevertheless. True, I don’t quite remember the specific model of my Minsk. 3.112 or 3.115. But this is not so important, because the changes were not significant in these models. I can’t help but mention one small detail that I fell in love with before I even knew what kind of motorcycle it was. This was long before I acquired a donor and assembled my own. This part is the steering wheel, or rather the jumper on the steering wheel. For some it’s a trifle, but I’m still crazy about it. Why did it get into my head? Because no matter how strange it may sound, it gives a sporty look to the entire motorcycle. The cross-mount ones have a jumper, and this was important for the kid (me). Maybe someone will say that it is useless, but it is not so. For at least one year, my friend and I dried our swimming trunks on the way home from the sea, while others’ swimming trunks were hanging on the mirrors. With every character I type, I miss my beloved macaque more and more. It’s a shame that at the time I owned it, I didn’t have a cell phone with a camera or a digital camera in the family (and no one seemed to have them at all). It's even more of a pity that I didn't have any pictures on this motorcycle. Well, or at least close. Now I would really appreciate them. But I still have one photograph of the “macaque”. True, it is printed and the motorcycle on it is already very battered by time and the only bad accident that I had the opportunity to be in. Oh, if only I could bring here a photograph taken at the moment when I had just painted and assembled my beloved Minsk friend. Kosmonaut Misha

The Minsk motorcycle was produced at the Minsk Motorcycle and Bicycle Plant in domestic times. Many models of this wonderful motorcycle were created. I have a Minsk 3.112 manufactured in 1984. The motorcycle is just a fairy tale. I inherited it and still runs like new. Its weight is about one hundred kilograms, which is not very much, for me it’s a little heavier than a bicycle. One hundred and twenty-five cc two-stroke engine produces as much as 11 horsepower. The most profitable and suitable option for country boys, which I especially am. Also suitable for individual hunting. This beast is capable of driving through any dirt due to its lightness and relative power. Nowadays such motorcycles can rarely be found anywhere, only in villages, among those who like to preserve their equipment for a long time. The maximum stated speed is 95 kilometers per hour, but I reached one hundred and fifteen. I treasure it like the apple of my eye. Many people ask to sell it, but I don’t agree, because if you sell it, then what? Elbows to gnaw?Nikolas1997okush

I've been driving motorcycles (various) since childhood. Minsk has proven itself only on the positive side. I drove it both on asphalt and off-road. Didn't let me down anywhere. If you are a fishing enthusiast and often ride on roads that are difficult to pass. Minsk will not let you down, I assure you. Economical and durable motorcycle. You can practically carry it on yourself in places where there is swamp and mud. Not expensive spare parts. The main thing is not to reboot it. If you are an adult and weigh 65 or more, I do not recommend taking passengers into the forest. On the field and asphalt, 120 kilograms will still be OK. But that’s not advisable either. if you take care of your motorcycle, it will last forever.Zonder
Basic model design[edit | edit code]
The MMVZ-3.112 motorcycle model is a further development of the previous Minsk model MMVZ-3.115. The main differences are a new, more comfortable, wide and long saddle (it hinges to the right along the way and can be removed from the frame), brake drums of both wheels increased to 150 mm in diameter, the use of damping elements in the driven sprocket assembly, and the installation of a pendulum fork on silent blocks, the presence of a new yoke on the frame, making it easier to place the motorcycle on the center stand. The rear brake support plate transmits reaction force to the frame not through stops, but through a reaction rod attached to the pendulum. The brake pedal is mounted on a separate bracket rather than on the footrest tube. The diameter of the wheel hubs and the spokes themselves have also been increased. The spokes became shorter, which overall made the wheel more rigid. The comfort of the motorcycle has been slightly improved.
Engine[edit | edit code]
The engine is single-cylinder, air-cooled and dual-channel return blown. Aluminum alloy cylinder head. The cast iron cylinder liner is pressed into aluminum fins. Advanced finning of the cylinder and head ensures effective cooling in difficult road and weather conditions. The engine runs on a mixture of low-octane gasoline A-76 with almost any type of motor oil. The engine on the MMVZ-3.112 model produced in 1982 developed a power of 12 hp. at 6,300 rpm, in 1986 a new modification appeared - MMVZ-3.112.11 with a derated engine so that the motorcycle could be used not only on highways.
Transmission[edit | edit code]
The gearbox is four-speed. The gear shift mechanism is foot-operated. Multi-disc clutch in oil bath. The drive to the rear wheel is by chain, with the main drive protected by stamped casings and rubber chain covers.
Chassis[edit | edit code]
The frame is tubular, closed type. Telescopic front fork with hydraulic shock absorbers, pendulum type rear suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers.
Electrical equipment[edit | edit code]
Electronic contactless ignition system. The headlight and tail light of the MMVZ-3.112 model are identical to those used on the previous model, the electrical equipment of the MMVZ-3.112 is 6-volt (G427 generator, B-300B ignition coil). In 1984, model 3.112.1 began to be equipped with 12-volt electrical equipment (generator 43.3701, coil 2102.3705, lighting devices that meet the requirements of European standards), which distinguishes them favorably from the MMVZ-3.112 model. In 1995, the plant announced a new 14-volt flywheel-type alternating current generator with a power of 90 watts.

To prepare a new motorcycle for operation: 1. Remove all external preservative grease from parts and assemblies using rag swabs soaked in clean gasoline or kerosene. 2. Secure the steering wheel, rear view mirror, and trunk. 3. Check the oil level in the gearbox housing. The level is checked with a dipstick mounted in the filler plug. The plug is turned out, the probe is wiped and inserted into the hole until the plug stops in the thread. If necessary, add AKZp-10 or AKZp-6 motor oil to the mark on the dipstick. When checking, the motorcycle must stand on its wheels vertically on a horizontal platform. 4. Pour 50 cm3 of automotive oil into the air filter. You should not add more oil, as this impairs engine performance and does not improve air filtration.
Preparing the motorcycle for departure
A thorough check of the motorcycle before departure is the key to trouble-free operation and prevents problems along the way. Before leaving, carry out an external inspection of the motorcycle, check the reliability of all bolts and connections, the operation of the brakes, the oil level in the gearbox and the fuel in the tank.
The fuel tank is filled with a mixture of gasoline and oil in a ratio of 25:1, during the break-in period - 20:1. Before refueling, mix the mixture thoroughly. Automotive and tractor oils AKZp-10 AOp-10 (GOST 1862-63) are recommended for lubrication of the 3.111 engine, but the best are aviation oils of the MS and MK brands, as well as diesel oil D-11. In winter, you can use AKZ-n-6 or ASp-6 oils. When refueling, you should maintain cleanliness, since dirt, threads, and lint that get into the tank with gasoline can clog the passage holes of the gas tap. To avoid this, gasoline should be poured through a funnel with a mesh. The gasoline level in the tank should be 10-15 mm below the edge of the neck. Do not allow water or snow to get into the gas tank.
When checking the oil level in the gearbox, the motorcycle must be standing vertically on a horizontal platform; the oil must settle (after adding oil or stopping the engine) for at least 3 minutes.
Check the tire pressure with a pressure gauge and inflate if necessary.
Having finished inspecting and refueling the motorcycle, proceed to start the engine.
Engine starting
To start the engine you need to:
1. Check whether the gearbox is in neutral position. 2. Open the gas valve (put its handle in the “O” position). The letters on the faucet mean: “3” - the faucet is closed, “O” - the faucet is open, “P” - the faucet is open to spend the reserve (see Fig. 8). 3. By pressing the float stopper, fill the carburetor float chamber, press the trigger lever several times so that the combustible mixture enters the engine cylinder. 4. Turn on the ignition. 5. Turn the throttle towards you no more than a quarter of the way. 6. Press the trigger lever sharply, but without impact, with your foot. After starting, the engine should be warmed up for 20-40 seconds at low speeds, then by turning the throttle handle, slightly increase the engine speed. You should not give the engine high speed immediately after starting.
A normally adjusted and warmed-up engine should operate stably at low speeds.
If, when starting the engine, an excessive amount of fuel enters the cylinder (the so-called “supersuction”), then the over-enriched combustible mixture does not ignite due to lack of air.
In case of “over-suction”, you should close the gas tap, turn the throttle towards you all the way and blow out the engine, smoothly pressing the kickstarter lever, and then start starting, omitting step 3. When starting a hot engine, operation 3 is not performed. If the engine cannot be started after several presses on the starter pedal, you need to find the malfunction (no fuel supply, no ignition, etc.) and eliminate it.
The 3-111 engine, compared to engines of previous models, has a noisier operation, which is typical for modern cars. This is a consequence of vibration of the large cylinder fins and head. Large fins are necessary for cooling, but at the same time they seem to amplify all mechanical noise, which is normal and does not affect the durability of the engine. Therefore, the opinion of even an experienced motorcyclist about the need to disassemble such an engine may turn out to be erroneous.

Engine repair
Assembling a Minsk motorcycle engine is the reverse process to disassembly. Therefore, for a clearer idea of the mechanisms, start working with partial disassembly of the motor. Here's a simple procedure:
If the ball is deformed, it is better to replace it with a new one.
In this easy way, you can partially disassemble the motor . If there are knocks or jolts while riding, it is worth doing a complete disassembly according to the motorcycle operation and maintenance book. In many cases, even simple cleaning of individual elements helps. For example, cleaning your carburetor will provide better fuel delivery without contaminating the mixture. Replacing the air filter will provide a significant flow of air into the engine, which will improve the purity of the fuel-air mixture.
