Izh "Junker": technical characteristics and reviews

It's hard to remember a good Russian motorcycle, which surprises even at the first meeting. Many will start to object: "Why, because there are so many worthy models." But in fact, all these "candy" (according to the version of the person who never left the garage), such as the "Dnepr", "Planet", "Java", do not even worth mentioning: the uniformity and obsoleteness in this matter is simply off scale . Therefore, it is difficult to assess the Russian engine building concern. But one motorcycle destroyed this disastrous statistics. Although it would be better to call him an idol in his part. IJ Junker is not just two wheels under the saddle, the Junker is a true friend, demanding care and respect (at least because of age).

The beginning of the way

Until 1999, it was difficult to believe in the popularity of the IZH group. The motorcycle "Junker" smashed this stereotype into smithereens. And there is for that. In the distant nineties, in no way was it possible to meet a "normal bike" (of course, by today's standards). Then self-propelled iron "boxes" with carriages, called "vehicles", traveled around. And in this "paradise for designers" hastily burst IZH "Junker." Characteristics at height, design too, and most importantly - innovative and unreleased until then American style. For the first time on bad roads a good motorcycle appeared. And convenient in the landing, easy to care for and soft in driving.

Zest of the model

A bright feature that distinguishes the Junker among other representatives of light transport, is the appearance. It was innovation from the designers that gave IZH unheard of fame. For the first time the light could see a walking motorcycle "for people".

IJ "Junker" is a chopper - a kind of motorcycle, characterized by an abundance of chrome parts, a high-lifted steering wheel and a vertical landing. "Junker" immediately became a classic of roads, and its distinctive features were remembered by many. Just you can not ignore the brilliant fuel tank drop-shaped. Short searching, you can also see the dashboard, smoothly built into the top. Pleases and the structure of the saddle. Two-step chair, made for comfortable landing of the driver, ends with a back. This small detail facilitates the transport of another person from the rear without compromising safety. Also, importantly, the foot pedals are moved forward. Maybe it sounds like a trifle, but in fact, this innovation has made it possible to straighten the legs when planting. Previously, they had to squeeze under themselves, which brought inconvenience and fatigue in the legs for long trips and not only. A tall, upstairs steering wheel looks spectacular. But it's not easy boasting a brave designer. In fact, this form of steering facilitates the convenient placement of instruments and more easy control.

Izh "Junker" impresses with its appearance even today. Few things can compare with him in beauty. Therefore this motorcycle more than fifteen years remains actual, and most importantly - desired.

IJ Junker: technical specifications

The motorcycle surprises not only with design, but also with speed. In a beautiful "candy" engineers were able to put worthy technical qualities, which simply can not hold back praise. First about external management. It is standard for all motorcycles. But still. The right handle is equipped with a front brake. It, by the way, is a hydraulic single-disk. The fact that IZH have established such a qualitative brake, even if borrowed from the Japanese YAMAHA, already speaks about the seriousness of the matter. On the right panel there are buttons "Stop engine" and "Light / Main beam". On the left handle is the clutch lever and the rear brake. He, to a great regret and misunderstanding, a drum type. And then the question arises: "Why?" After all, there would be enough room for hydraulics. Why then do not make a good two-wheel braking system? Well, this question, probably, can not even be answered by designers of the IZH Junker model. Characteristics of the stroke and other indicators are displayed on the dashboard. She, as was said before, is in the upper part between the gas tanks. They, for example, are separate. Each is seven and a half liters, and each with its own hole, a tap, a filter and a lid. Why do this is not clear. After refueling turns into a game "spin-untwist the lid."

Power point

The power unit, standing on the Junkers, is the same as on all the latest models of the IZH group. This engine is a Yu6 (legacy from Jupiter) with water cooling. Yes that you can talk about a motor that has become obsolete for twenty years! But in the absence of another, it remains only to list the advantages and disadvantages. Ю6 is a two-stroke two-cylinder engine of internal combustion. Its working volume is only 347 cubic centimeters, and the maximum power is measured by 24 horsepower. The operating frequency (according to the technical passport) is about 6000 rpm, in fact this value is overestimated. The actual range is 5000 rpm.

Yu6 is suitable for any gasoline with an octane rating of at least 80. The ideal "power" is AI-92. It is not necessary to pay attention to fuel quality. The two-stroke engine is not susceptible to bad dishes. But still it is better not to risk and fill your favorite bike at the proven stations. The consumption of the same fuel is a hundred kilometers relatively small. In the city it is 7 liters, on the highway at a speed of 90 km / h this number decreases to 5.5 liters, and on a flat road at a speed of 60 km / h it becomes altogether ridiculous - only 4 liters per 100 kilometers. Two tanks hold 15 liters, respectively, with average costs, without refueling, the motorcycle can stretch 300 kilometers. Do not forget that the Yu6 is a two-stroke engine, so always, after every refueling, it's worth adding 2T-oil to the gas tank. After all, the lubricant comes with fuel.

Repairs

Currently, there are no problems with the repair of IJ Junker. This is explained by the wide distribution of the model and a small "secret", if I may call it so. Namely: almost all the details of IZH are easily replaced by analogous ones from a close relative - "Jupiter". Therefore, with minor breakages, which happen quite often, do not worry about the parts.

Izh "Junker": the price

This motorcycle is created for people who are not looking for foreign novelties. So, for their own. Therefore, the price is calculated for not very rich buyers. The demand for IL is still there, so the price is always maintained in tone. Izh "Junker" in good condition can be bought for 1000-1500 dollars.
