"Minsk" (motorcycle). Characteristics and description

"Minsk" M106

- a light road two-seater motorcycle from the Minsk motorcycle family produced by the Minsk Motorcycle and Bicycle Plant (BSSR, Minsk, modern name - Motovelo OJSC). Produced from 1971 to 1973. The predecessor is the Minsk M105 model, the successor is the Minsk MMVZ-3.111.

Device

The M106 motorcycle model is a further development of the previous M105 model. The changes also concern the appearance - the gas tank has acquired a more modern shape and can hold 12 liters of fuel. For the first time, the M-106 motorcycle was equipped with a trunk, which became a mandatory accessory for Minsk motorcycles.

Engine

The engine is single-cylinder, air-cooled and dual-channel return blown. Aluminum alloy cylinder head.

The engine on the M106 model was modified: engine power was increased due to better cylinder filling, the use of a new muffler and a K-36S carburetor with a diffuser diameter of 24 mm, resulting in a power of 9 hp. With. at 5,500 rpm. The engine requires fuel from a mixture of oil and gasoline in a ratio of 1:25.

Transmission

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

The frame is tubular, closed, reinforced (in relation to M105). The wheel hub bearings have been increased from No. 201 to No. 202. The front fork is of a telescopic type with hydraulic shock absorbers. The rear suspension is pendulum type with hydraulic shock absorbers.

Total information

The two-seater M106 “Minsk” is a motorcycle whose characteristics at one time were considered quite progressive. It has won recognition among motorcyclists for its reliability and good qualities. Throughout the entire production period, the M106 was improved, the design was improved along with technical innovations. The shape of the gas tank was changed, its contours became more modern, and the capacity increased from 10 to 12 liters. By the end of the second year of production, the Minsk, a motorcycle whose characteristics were oriented towards further development, received a standard trunk. The presence of the latter was dictated by the need to accommodate small things, without which no journey can be completed. This innovation quickly caught on, and since then, motorcycle racks in various versions have become an integral part of every two-wheeled car. Since the trunk area protruded far beyond the motorcycle, the muffler had to be lengthened.

Java problems - 638 (characteristic “sores”)

What hurts the Jawa 638 - the most common problems among Jawa 638 owners: In order to evaluate the new JAVA model (Jawa 638), we must remember the shortcomings of the previous one: weak six-volt electrical equipment, chronic undercharging of the battery, low-capacity tool boxes and ever-leaking front fork seals. All these “bottlenecks” have been successfully “embroidered” in the new model with index 638. The motorcycle has a rational and finished appearance. The new saddle, which is 50mm wider and 70mm longer, is much more comfortable than the previous one. Unfortunately, few kind words can be said about the engine, which, although it contains successful design discoveries, has serious shortcomings. In general, today among motorcyclists it is generally accepted that the best engine is the ChZ-350 (CZ-350) model “472-6”, which combines the reliability of the Jawa 634 and a 12V generator. The Java 638 engine is well built. Its lightweight aluminum cylinders with well-developed fins provide good cooling...

Road repair of a generator on a Java 634 motorcycle

During a long trip on a YAVA-350 motorcycle model “634.01” the generator suddenly failed. As a result of disassembly and testing using a light bulb and battery, I discovered that one of the armature windings was broken to ground, which caused the generator to produce insufficient voltage. An external inspection could not find the location of the short circuit, so I proceeded as follows. Having wrapped the armature commutator with copper wire (thus connecting all the armature windings in parallel), I connected a powerful 12 V car battery between the commutator and the armature core. The faulty winding quickly heated up, began to smoke and sparked at the point of closure - where the winding wire bends and enters the groove of the core. Then it’s a matter of technology. Moving the wire away from the sharp edge of the core, I insulated the wire and filled the repair area with nail polish. The generator started working. With this anchor I returned home safely, and I’m still traveling to this day. already more than 5000 kilometers, and have not noticed any interruptions or any...

What bearings and seals are used on IZH-Planet and IZH-Jupiter motorcycles

Reader A. Ustinov from Kemerovo asks what bearings and oil seals are used on the IZH-Planet and IZH-Jupiter motorcycles, and asks for their numbers. The crankshaft of the Planet motorcycle (all models) rests on two roller bearings 2505K and for one ball bearing 304 (left). Its trunnions are sealed with an oil seal designated IZH-49 sb. 1-30-1 with cover (right) and seal IZH-49 sb. 1-40-3 (left). The Jupiter crankshaft (also of all models) is mounted on three 205 ball bearings and on 304 ball bearings (left). The oil seals are as follows: right - IZH-49 sb 1-30-3 with a cover, left - IZH-Yu sb. 1-50 and one oil seal IZH-Yu sb. 1-14-1 in each of the two crank chamber covers. The secondary shaft of the gearbox for both Planeta and Jupiter rests on roller bearing 192906 K1M and is sealed with an IZH-49 sb oil seal. 1-28-1.The input shaft of all motorcycles on the left rests on a ball bearing...

If the thread for the spark plug in the cylinder head of IZH-Jupiter-3, 4 or 5 has broken

Installing a liner in the head If the thread for the spark plug in the cylinder head of the IZH-Jupiter-3, “4” or “5” motorcycles has broken off, install, as is customary, a liner (see figure), but only of a larger length so that you can use spark plugs with a long (19 mm) threaded part - A17DV, A17D1 and others intended for Muscovites and Lada cars. We make the fitting from brass and screw it in with BF-2 glue. Installing the fitting in the head. Many years of operation of engines with these spark plugs has shown that they work no worse than with standard ones. Moscow, E. CLOGS 1988N06P33

Ural IMZ - 8.103-10

Modernized Ural From the numerous publications of the magazine about new and modernized models of cars and motorcycles, readers were able to conclude that each car is subject to a certain set of requirements. Comparing the sample with the previous one, its merits are judged by how much fuel consumption has decreased and, at the same time, the emission of toxic substances, the noise level has decreased, how consumer qualities have changed: safety, comfort, cross-country ability, maneuverability and others. Moreover, most of the requirements lend themselves to very specific digital expressions, which are reflected in the characteristics of the new machine. The modernized Ural motorcycle, model IMZ-8.103-10, should also be assessed from these positions. Having inherited from the previous one, IMZ-8.103-30 (“Behind the Wheel”, 1985, No. 3) components that had proven themselves quite well in many years of operation, it also received a number of new ones. First of all, let’s name the K-63U carburetors (description and technical details…

An excerpt characterizing Minsk M106

- Well, what, young man? - he said, sighing and looking into Rostov’s eyes from under raised eyebrows. Some kind of light from the eyes, with the speed of an electric spark, ran from Telyanin’s eyes to Rostov’s eyes and back, back and back, all in an instant. “Come here,” Rostov said, grabbing Telyanin by the hand. He almost dragged him to the window. “This is Denisov’s money, you took it...” he whispered in his ear. – What?... What?... How dare you? What?...” said Telyanin. But these words sounded like a plaintive, desperate cry and a plea for forgiveness. As soon as Rostov heard this sound of the voice, a huge stone of doubt fell from his soul. He felt joy and at the same moment he felt sorry for the unfortunate man standing in front of him; but it was necessary to complete the work begun. “People here, God knows what they might think,” Telyanin muttered, grabbing his cap and heading into a small empty room, “we need to explain ourselves...” “I know this, and I will prove it,” said Rostov. “I... Telyanin’s frightened, pale face began to tremble with all its muscles; the eyes were still running, but somewhere below, not rising to Rostov’s face, sobs were heard. “Count!... don’t ruin the young man... this poor money, take it...” He threw it on the table. - My father is an old man, my mother!... Rostov took the money, avoiding Telyanin’s gaze, and, without saying a word, left the room. But he stopped at the door and turned back. “My God,” he said with tears in his eyes, “how could you do this?” “Count,” said Telyanin, approaching the cadet. “Don’t touch me,” Rostov said, pulling away. - If you need it, take this money. “He threw his wallet at him and ran out of the tavern. In the evening of the same day, there was a lively conversation between the squadron officers at Denisov’s apartment. “And I’m telling you, Rostov, that you need to apologize to the regimental commander,” said a tall staff captain with graying hair, a huge mustache and large features of a wrinkled face, turning to the crimson, excited Rostov. Staff captain Kirsten was demoted to soldier twice for matters of honor and served twice. – I won’t allow anyone to tell me that I’m lying! - Rostov screamed. “He told me I was lying, and I told him he was lying.” It will remain so. He can assign me to duty every day and put me under arrest, but no one will force me to apologize, because if he, as a regimental commander, considers himself unworthy of giving me satisfaction, then... - Just wait, father; “Listen to me,” the captain interrupted the headquarters in his bass voice, calmly smoothing his long mustache. - You tell the regimental commander in front of other officers that the officer stole... - It’s not my fault that the conversation started in front of other officers. Maybe I shouldn’t have spoken in front of them, but I’m not a diplomat. Then I joined the hussars, I thought that there was no need for subtleties, but he tells me that I’m lying... so let him give me satisfaction... - That’s all good, no one thinks that you’re a coward, but that’s not the point. Ask Denisov, does this look like something for a cadet to demand satisfaction from the regimental commander? Denisov, biting his mustache, listened to the conversation with a gloomy look, apparently not wanting to engage in it. When asked by the captain's staff, he shook his head negatively. “You tell the regimental commander about this dirty trick in front of the officers,” the captain continued. - Bogdanych (the regimental commander was called Bogdanych) besieged you. - He didn’t besiege him, but said that I was telling a lie. - Well, yes, and you said something stupid to him, and you need to apologize. - Never! - Rostov shouted. “I didn’t think this from you,” the captain said seriously and sternly. “You don’t want to apologize, but you, father, not only before him, but before the entire regiment, before all of us, you are completely to blame.” Here's how: if only you had thought and consulted on how to deal with this matter, otherwise you would have drunk right in front of the officers. What should the regimental commander do now? Should the officer be put on trial and the entire regiment be soiled? Because of one scoundrel, the whole regiment is disgraced? So, what do you think? But in our opinion, not so. And Bogdanich is great, he told you that you are telling lies. It’s unpleasant, but what can you do, father, they attacked you yourself. And now, as they want to hush up the matter, because of some kind of fanaticism you don’t want to apologize, but want to tell everything. You are offended that you are on duty, but why should you apologize to an old and honest officer! No matter what Bogdanich is, he’s still an honest and brave old colonel, it’s such a shame for you; Is it okay for you to dirty the regiment? – The captain’s voice began to tremble. - You, father, have been in the regiment for a week; today here, tomorrow transferred to adjutants somewhere; you don’t care what they say: “there are thieves among the Pavlograd officers!” But we care. So, what, Denisov? Not all the same?
