For various reasons, you may be the owner of a legendary Java - it’s your father’s, older brother’s motorcycle, or you just bought a legendary vehicle for the occasion. But here’s the problem - the motorcycle is often far from ideal condition, for example, you may be upset by such a nuisance as the wiring of the Java, which has delaminated from old age, was probably stored in an unheated barn or garage, and a new set cannot be found in your city.
There are few well-groomed specimens of Java left
What’s most annoying is that the work of replacing most parts and assemblies is quite simple , but the lack of spare parts immobilizes your vehicle indefinitely. Moreover, the price of parts tends to rise every year, which forces us to show skillful hands and ingenuity. But the result lives up to all expectations.
IL as a donor of spare parts
Let's consider, for example, the transition from 6 volts to 12 volts electrical equipment, and we will borrow the parts for such a conversion from the IZh motorcycle - fortunately, there are quite a lot of them sold in the post-Soviet space.
Note! Motorcycle manufacturer JAWA itself changed the voltage on its next models. And it would be more logical to use original parts, but, as mentioned above, the lack of spare parts and their exorbitant price do not provide such an opportunity.
The wiring to Java will remain the same - if its condition is satisfactory, but the lamps and coil will have to be replaced. But you will get a more powerful system, which will affect all the characteristics of the motorcycle.
Scheme with decoding
Advice! If you decide to make such a modification, you will also need a Java 12 V wiring diagram, presented above in high resolution (1000x700)
Reasons for alteration:
- Elimination of weak headlight light is a phenomenon common to all Javas with 6V equipment;
- Elimination of undercharging of the battery during prolonged driving at low speeds;
- Breakdowns and failures due to wear of original 6V parts;
- Inability to purchase original components and consumables;
What do we take from the domestic motorcycle industry?
Note! The 12-volt IZh components are quite easy to adapt to the 634 motor with your own hands. That is why this modification should be considered as a working option.
You have to “implant” domestic details into the Java scheme
Advice: There are modifications using parts from Chinese Delta scooters and mopeds. But we do not recommend them, since the quality of the parts is not up to par.
In fact, we will need a minimum set of parts from IZH:
- relay-regulator, indicated in the photo below under No. 1;
- generator rotor (under No. 2);
- stator windings (under No. 3);
- supply wire to the ignition switch at terminal 54 (under No. 4).
For reference: also on the installation diagram of “Izhevsk” parts in the Java electrical circuit, the terminal markings of the relay-regulator block are indicated (from X1 to X8).
Custom parts
Faceplate for the generator - you can order it from a familiar turner
You can't do it without the help of a turner. If so, then start by searching for him through friends or newspaper advertisements.
You will order him:
- Adapter washer (faceplate) for installing the generator;
- Modification of the stator - the side facing the crankshaft will have to be shortened;
- Groove of the seat.
Note! The stator should not be modified in a garage, because It will be difficult to maintain the bore diameter accurately. And in the future, after assembly, the rotor will probably touch the stator coils, which will lead to their increased wear.
The video below demonstrates the operation of a Java motorcycle with a 12-volt generator from IZH.
This is exactly the result that you will get if you follow the proposed procedure for modernizing your Java.
Operational Features
It was the motorcycle in our country that became a clear confirmation that a two-wheeled vehicle is truly a means of transportation.
The owners and their “iron horses” could be found everywhere:
- In the forest thicket;
- In the mountains;
- On city highways;
- In the rural outback;
- At sports competitions, etc.
On a JAWA motorcycle you could easily travel 1000 km from home.
Its endurance and reliability on the longest routes contributed to such a high popularity of the brand as a whole. Even the resale of a 5-year-old copy brought the former owner at least 500 rubles.
For reference: Purchasing new domestic two-wheeled motorcycles cost more modest sums for the family budget. The shortage of spare parts, missing instructions and minor breakdowns did not stop me from buying my dream motorcycle.
However, difficulties with parts and a simple design contributed to the fact that owners serviced the motorcycles with their own hands in a variety of places:
- In private garages;
- In the back rooms;
- On the balconies;
- In apartments, etc.
The lack of a garage has never been a hindrance to a true motorcycle enthusiast
Alteration work
Let's start working directly in Java.
The modification instructions will be as follows:
- We fasten the faceplate with M6 bolts. We use only with flush-mounted heads, since regular bolts will interfere with the operation of the rotor.
Installing the faceplate
- We install the rotor and check its rotation. It should rotate freely and without play on the axis.
If the faceplate is installed correctly, the rotor will rotate freely
- We clamp it together with the flange under the modulator using a bolt.
- We mount the stator. First, we remove the terminal of the center of the stator windings - it will be needed for the relay for the generator operation indicator lamp.
We bring out the terminals for connecting a car relay from a VAZ 2101 to a control lamp
Note! The use of parts from VAZ is also practiced in modifications to cars of other domestic brands. In particular, the wiring diagram of the UAZ 31514 was built using a switch from a VAZ 2108.
- We connect the wires.
- Install the breaker plate.
Installation of the plate. This option is made with a Hall sensor
Tip: installing an ignition using a Hall sensor makes the moment of sparking more predictable, which improves ignition of the mixture. Since we are modernizing electrical equipment, it makes sense to improve the ignition system at the same time.
That's all. All that remains is to check the functionality of our modernization, for which we start the engine with the cover removed. If necessary, set and adjust the ignition angle.

Season on Java 638-0-00
We will tell you about how we spent the season on the JAVA model 638-0-00. What makes the new model different?
Run-in beyond the instructions Electrical equipment, ignition: no defects Wishes based on experience Since January of last year, a new model of the Czechoslovak motorcycle began to arrive in the Soviet Union - YAVA-350-638-0-00, which finally replaced the transitional YAVA-638-5 from the assembly line. I was lucky enough to become one of the first owners of the new product, to get acquainted with its character and behavior in operation. In my opinion, the new model noticeably wins in design, which has become more modern and more attractive to the eye. During your first rides, the driver will appreciate the wide and comfortable saddle. He will also like the peculiar casing behind the seat - in addition to being decorative, it can have a utilitarian function: for example, I place a liter container of oil and a spare chamber there. The gas tank seems to have become larger, at least in the rear it is much wider, and this is inconvenient, but essentially it hasn’t added anything, not... Read more >>
Java 250 Trial - Jawa 250 Trial
A trial for everyone Jawa 250 Trial The design of the motorcycle Jawa 250 Trial The Trial is a motorcycle competition for cross-country driving skills that is gaining more and more popularity in the world.
At the FIM congress, the issue of making trials the number one discipline in the international motorsports calendar and recommending it to the Olympic Games program was even discussed. In mass trials competitions, excluding official meetings held under the auspices of the FIM, ordinary road motorcycles are used. The modifications boil down to protecting the engine from below, reducing the fork travel and adjusting the motor to achieve maximum power in the first two or three gears (speed does not matter here). At the same time, leading foreign motorcycle companies began producing special machines for trials. The Czechoslovak JAVA plant in Prague is also starting to produce such motorcycles. The design of the Jawa 250 Trial motorcycle takes into account the specifics determined by the competition route. The chassis provides maximum... Read more >>
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 input shaft of all motorcycles on the left rests on a ball bearing... Read more >>
We repair the engine of the Dnepr MT-8, MT-9 motorcycle
MT-8, MT-9 More than three years ago, the Kiev Motorcycle Plant began producing motorcycles of the Dnepr K-650 family with an MT-8 engine.
Last year, they gave way on the assembly line to a more advanced model with the MT-9 power unit (see “Behind the Wheel,” 1971, No. 2), equipped with reverse gear. Many owners of these powerful, rugged cars, which have covered tens of thousands of kilometers, have There were questions related to engine repair. Readers will find answers to them in the article published here by specialists from the Kyiv Motorcycle Plant. The Dnepr power units (MT-8 and MT-9) differ from all previous engines that were used on domestic heavy motorcycles. First of all, they have a solid, rather than composite, crankshaft with plain bearings (liners) on the connecting rod journals. As a result, the engine has become more durable and its repair has been simplified. In order to more fully understand the dimensions, fits and permissible wear of the most important parts, we will introduce... Read more >>
Dnepr-11 and Dnepr-16. New items
Motorcycle with the brand “Dnepr” Motorcycle “Dnepr-11”.
The “Dnepr-16” model with a sidecar wheel drive can be easily distinguished from the one shown in the picture by its separate saddles. The Kiev Motorcycle Plant has begun serial production of new machines “Dnepr-11” and “Dnepr-16”. The first replaced the Dnepr MT10-36 road model, the second replaced the Dnepr-12 off-road motorcycle. During their development, the latest requirements of active and passive safety standards, as well as the wishes of motorcyclists, were taken into account. First, let’s talk about the new components that are common to both models. These are the stroller wheel brake, parking brake, lights and combination switches. Improvements refer to design factors that improve traffic safety. The braking distance from a speed of 60 km/h has become 5 meters shorter. The mechanically operated parking brake operates reliably... Read more >>
