Many motorcyclists, despite the enormous selection of modern motorcycle equipment offered by foreign companies, prefer Russian-made brands. One of the popular models of two-wheeled vehicles among domestic buyers to this day remains the IZH motorcycle, which was produced at the automobile plant in Izhevsk from 1987 until 2008.
The Izh Planet 5 motorcycle, the production of which took place during the years of perestroika, was intended primarily for use on hard road surfaces. The model was equipped with an electronic engine starting system. Therefore, for a long time, the motorcycle was in greatest demand among representatives of the middle income level. At the same time, some motorcycle equipment was manufactured with not quite modern contact breakers, due to which many owners of such “bikes” often encounter problems setting up the ignition of the Izh Planet 5 motorcycle.
How to properly configure the ignition of Izh Planet 5
It is preferable to carry out and regulate the ignition of the Izh Planet using a special tool, which at one time was included in the factory kit of each individual model. But if you don’t have such a tool, you can use a regular caliper.
So, to set up the launch system on Izh Planet 5, you will need the following tools:
- a probe or light bulb operating on 12 volts with two wires;
- depth gauge (vernier caliper);
- special feelers for accurately measuring gaps.
To correctly install the Izh Planet ignition, you first need to remove the cover from the generator. Alternatively, for convenience, you can also unscrew the right cover on the crankcase.
Next, to adjust the ignition of Planet 5, you should perform the following steps one by one:
- turn the crankshaft clockwise until the breaker opens as much as possible;
- loosen the bolt a little while turning the eccentric;
- set the necessary gaps (0.4 - 0.6 mm);
- tighten the bolt again;
- turning the crankshaft clockwise again, set the piston to the TDC mark;
- turning the crankshaft in the opposite direction, place the piston at a distance of 3 - 3.5 mm to the TDC mark;
- loosen the bolts;
- set the beginning of contact opening;
- tighten the bolts again and turn on the Planet 5 ignition.
To determine when the opening begins, use your light bulb. To do this, you need to connect the light bulb using one wire to ground, and connect the other wire to the terminal. Then you need to turn on the ignition of Planet 5. The engine should start when the contacts open: this will be indicated by a lit light bulb.
Having unscrewed the bolts a little, in order to set the ignition on the Planet, you need to turn them all the way (again, clockwise). At this point, the light will stop glowing. Then slowly turn the contacts in the opposite direction again until the light comes on again. At this time a spark should appear. This is how you can adjust the ignition of the Izh Planet.
If your motorcycle is equipped with a contactless engine starting system, then there is no need to set gaps, since the moment of spark formation can be determined using a special tester. In this case, to install the ignition on Izh Planet 5, you will need:
- install the device correctly to measure voltage (up to 20 volts);
- connect the device to the 2nd and 3rd contacts of the Hall Sensor.

A lot of purely technical changes have also occurred: some minor errors have been corrected, the navigation system has been improved (a “project map” has been added), etc.
The overall progress of the project can be assessed using
: above is an image of the project page in its present form, below - as of last summer. It can be seen that the number of topics covered has increased significantly.

Adjusting the electronic ignition system on Izh Planet 5. How to set the ignition on the Planet?
If you are the owner of an IL, the ignition of Planet 5 electronic type can be adjusted in the following way:
- set the advance angle (3.5 mm to the top dead center mark, in this case the sensor will show a pulse only when the modulator leaves the gap);
- start the engine.
If you are the owner of an IZH Jupiter 5 motorcycle, then you will be interested in an article on setting up electronic ignition on an IZH Jupiter 5
As a rule, this option for setting up the ignition on Izh Planet 5 works without problems. Moreover, as a reserve for installing the ignition on Izh Planet 5, you can use a contact system for starting the power unit.
So, we figured out how to set the ignition on the Planet. With proper adjustment of the engine starting system, your motorcycle will start normally, and you will be able to experience all the delights of driving such a two-wheeled vehicle.
