Motorcycle Voskhod: characteristics, photos and videos
Degtyarev Vasily Alekseevich
It was named after the latter almost thirty years later and still exists under that name. And the story of how they switched to producing motorcycle products is very typical for the post-war period and is similar to the history of the Minsk plant. The country urgently needed to restore its industry, and therefore many military enterprises were transferred to peaceful lines. Thus, the building blocks for the future appearance of the legendary brand of Soviet motorcycles were laid.

Question, of course, is not a topical one, but some are still interested. So what is better? I’ll say right away: it’s impossible to say for sure. It’s clear that it seems like “dropsy” will be more fun, but also “air” during normal operation nothing either. To begin with, I’ll tell you in a nutshell why liquid cooling is installed and why the designers came to this. The single and most fundamental purpose of liquid cooling is to increase the area of heat transfer from the motor, since in relation to liquid cooling, air cooling is limited by the area of the cooling fins. I’ll put everything on the shelves, and you’ll decide for yourself which is better. I’ll start with the more common option: air cooling. It is distinguished by the relative simplicity of its design in relation to its opponent. Less whimsical to maintenance (if at all whimsical) and does not require you to look after yourself very closely. I will say that, for example, a natural air- cooled outperforms the “dropsy” in the speed of rotation, since nothing Apart from the crankshaft, it doesn’t need to be turned, and the “dropsy” also has a pump, which also needs to be turned. Yes, of course, there are also electric pumps, but they can also create an extra load in the form of an electromagnetic load in the generator. Well, oh well. There are also advantages can be attributed to the fact that nothing will ever leak anywhere, there are no kilometers of hoses, glitchy temperature sensors, etc. It is clear that there are also a lot of disadvantages. Nothing burns out like “air” when the rider pushes wicks into it. Systematic overheating negates any resource, “shrinks” the cementation layer, no matter how trump it may be. It often happens that the temperature the engine, when “handled with passion,” falls over 200°C. At this temperature, no oil lubricates anything. If you treat it poorly, the “air” more often rings, rattles, and knocks. The maximum service life that I have personally seen: 64,000 km, but there was no talk of the ability to start with an electric starter. When disassembling a dead CPG, you can often observe a blue and eaten piston pin. with liquid cooling and the ratio of minuses and pluses here is the same as with air cooling. Of the advantages, of course, the main one is the almost complete impossibility of thermal seizure. If you have a good-quality, unclogged radiator on a half-watt engine, you can sprint for at least 200 kilometers without stopping with the throttle fully open and absolutely nothing will happen to it. I have seen this personally. The fact is that often the temperature of such a motor does not rise above one hundred degrees, and at one hundred degrees nothing can happen to the iron. The service life of such a motor often exceeds the service life of the “air vent” by two or more times, but at the same time it still obliges: to monitor the condition of the pump, the presence and quality of the coolant, the performance of temperature sensors and the integrity of the entire pipeline. In general, this type of cooling is not for the crooked and not for the knucklehead collective farmers who quickly begin to pour in anything they want, but not antifreeze or antifreeze. Since certain areas of the engine heat up, heat removal and dissipation must be ensured to prevent deformation of the components in question and possible jamming. Heat is naturally redistributed from hot to cold areas; thus, the heat generated by the piston and valves is naturally conducted to the outer surfaces of the cylinder and cylinder head. Excess heat from these surfaces must be released into the air (remembering that not all heat is waste, since the engine's operating temperature must be maintained within optimal limits).
How much oil should I put in the sunrise fork?
How much oil should I pour on the Voskhod front fork? 200 grams each.
How much oil should be poured into the Voskhod 3m gearbox?
It is best to fill the Voskhod motorcycle gearbox with 80W90 GL-5 mineral gear oil, rather than engine oil. These are oils such as TAD-17 or TM-5-18 - they have a viscosity of 80W90. To replace, you will need 0.5 liters of liquid. Change regularly - every 10,000 km.
How to remove the front fork in Minsk?
Removal and disassembly of the front fork is carried out as follows:
- Remove the wheel and fender.
- Unscrew the nut securing the feather and remove the spring (if necessary, disconnecting the steering wheel).
- Loosen the lower bridge coupling bolt.
- Holding the sliding pipe with your hands, remove the feather from the bridges.
What kind of oil should I put in a Java fork?
The 638 java fork uses thick oil - 10v30. And the rear shock absorbers and front forks of older Javas (634 and older ones) use thinner oil, like MGP-10.
How to change the fork oil on a motorcycle?
The general oil change scheme is very simple: unscrew the drain plugs, wait until the oil drains, rinse the fork with kerosene if necessary, and then fill in new oil and put the plugs in place. But alas, practice shows that this procedure primarily depends on the design of the feathers.
How much oil should be poured into the Voskhod 3m engine?
You need to add oil along with gasoline in a ratio of 1 to 20 or 1 to 30. That is, 1 liter of oil per 20 liters of gasoline, or in other words, 40-50 grams of oil per 1 liter of fuel. You can also experiment; if the muffler starts to smoke, then reduce the amount of oil poured into the gasoline.
How much oil is in the Voskhod 3m fork?
Each pen requires 180-190 ml (information from the operating documentation).
How to remove a fork on a motorcycle?
unscrew the screws and remove the ignition switch from the fork housing; remove the headlight, disconnecting the wires, and unscrew the bolts securing it to the casing brackets; Unscrew the bearing nut, remove the protective washer (support the front fork while unscrewing the nut) and the upper wheel of the thrust bearing; remove the front fork.
How much oil should I put in a Java fork?
200 grams per pen.
What kind of oil for Java 634 fork?
Liquid oils Fork, ATF, GZh-10 are suitable for 634 forks, where the manual specifically advised mixing the spindle with the motor one.
How much oil is poured into a Java 634 fork?
For all 634 - 140 ml.
How often do you change the oil in a motorcycle fork?
The creators advise changing the oil after the next 12,000 - 15,000 km. This guarantees normal motorcycle handling. However, some motorcyclists consider it advisable to change the oil in a motorcycle fork in conjunction with scheduled maintenance to install fresh oil seals.
How often should the fork oil be changed?
How often should I replace it? The frequency of this manipulation for each vehicle model is specified in the user manual. On average, this interval is 12-15 thousand kilometers for road bikes, and 5-10 thousand for enduro.
Motorcycle ZiD Voskhod-2M 1974 - disassembling it together
Voskhod 2 units are considered one of the most popular motorcycles in Russia. First produced in 1946 at the Kovrov plant, they overcame a long and difficult path of development.
The history of the Voskhod brand equipment ended with the Voskhod 2 and Voskhod 2M models, released in 1970 and 1977, respectively. In terms of technical characteristics, these motorcycles differed significantly from their predecessors.
The main differences between Voskhod 2 motorcycles are ease of operation and durability. At the time of the release of the first model, these motorcycles were considered the most modern and fully meet all the requirements of motorcyclists.
Technical characteristics of the Voskhod motorcycle - 2 m general data
Motorcycle base - 1300 mm ground clearance - no less than 135 mm Dimensions of the motorcycle: length - no more than 2000 mm width (without additional equipment) - 690 mm height (without additional equipment) - 1090 mm Dry weight - no more than 119 kg Maximum load on motorcycle (including driver) - 155 kg Maximum speed (after running in) - no less than 105 km/h Control fuel consumption per 100 km - no more than 4.4 liters. The lowest fuel consumption per 100 km of motorcycle mileage is 2.8 liters. The braking distance from a speed of 30 km/h is no more than 7 meters.

Negative qualities
The motorcycle also has some disadvantages, especially regarding its appearance - today at sunrise you can’t take 2 videos with spectacular stunts and you can’t brag to your friends.
In addition, this model had a slight unsuitability of the frame for traveling on bad roads or dirt roads (fortunately, this drawback was eliminated in the next modification of the motorcycle - Voskhod 2M). With the arrival of more powerful motorcycles on the Russian market, the motorcycle began to lack those same 10.5–11 liters. With.
In conclusion, it is worth saying that today the popularity of Voskhod 2 is observed mainly among connoisseurs of Soviet motorcycles . And no wonder! After all, now on the motorcycle market you can find a large amount of equipment that has both an impressive appearance and a more powerful engine.
In principle, some motorcycle enthusiasts manage to convert old Voskhod 2s into interesting and original equipment that meets all modern requirements, and also attracts the attention of even people indifferent to motorcycles. Although in this case, very rarely anything remains from the standard configuration of the motorcycle.
