Installed a diesel engine from a walk-behind tractor on a Dnepr motorcycle
Motorcycle "Dnepr" with a diesel engine from a Chinese walk-behind tractor with a power of 10 hp.
Diesel engines are perhaps not the most suitable option for a motorcycle. Factory designs of diesel motorcycles are practically not produced. But installing diesel engines on motorcycles is a common topic among those who like to make unique motorcycles.
The author decided to replace the gluttonous gasoline engine with a more economical diesel engine.
So, the usual MT-9 was taken as a basis, which initially had a boxer carburetor engine with a power of 32 hp.
The standard engine was dismantled, and a small diesel engine from a Chinese walk-behind tractor took its place. To install this unit, we had to slightly modify the frame and fuel tank.
The frame, for the most part, also remained standard, it was just additionally strengthened in the lower front part. The fuel tank also had to be sawed off from below; externally there are no visible changes in it.
Single-cylinder engine, air vent. Power approximately 10 hp. It starts with an electric starter, but the ability to start with a kick starter remains. Stops using a decompressor. The exhaust pipe is made of stainless steel.
Compared to the standard engine, the motorcycle has lost significantly in power, but due to the torque it moves like a tractor. Claimed fuel consumption is just over 2 liters per 100 km. The motor is not picky about the quality of diesel fuel, and due to forced cooling in the summer it does not overheat.
Transmission. The clutch and gearbox are original, nothing has changed. The gearbox is connected to the engine through an adapter plate. The driveshaft is slightly shortened.
The maximum speed of the motorcycle is now about 60 km/h, but this doesn’t bother the author of the homemade product; you can’t drive it much in the village. At idle, there is strong vibration from the engine.

What's interesting about diesel?
We can start with definitions and names. A diesel engine is a mechanical device based on a classic piston internal combustion engine that runs on diesel fuel. The main difference between such a unit and a conventional gasoline unit is the method of preparing the air-fuel mixture, supplying the mixture to the cylinder and igniting it.
In a traditional gasoline internal combustion engine, fuel is combined with air before it enters the cylinder and is ignited by a spark plug. A diesel engine operates on a different principle. Here, air is first supplied, then the air is compressed under pressure. The air is then heated to temperatures at which the fuel can ignite on its own. Diesel is injected into the cylinders through nozzles under serious pressure. However, these are not all the differences. The main advantage is the increased efficiency of such motors.

everything is fine, but what makes him so sick? need to work on vibration damping
the first thing I noticed. direct vibration massager
What kind of cheap advertising is this? Fu fu fu, you can’t do that.
Yes Lana, there were even production diesel motorcycles.
But the absolute difference not in money is not huge
