If there is no charge on Izh Jupiter.

This article was written to help those motorists who decided to independently find and fix a malfunction in the battery charging system on IZH 12v motorcycles.

Among special devices, the most common tester with the function of dialing (buzzer) and measuring resistance is useful, because there is no recharging on the motorcycle planet. If you don't have this device, you can use a light bulb with a battery to determine the contact or open circuit.

In this case, you need to put a perfectly charged battery on the bike, or power the on-board network from another external power source with a constant voltage of 12 V.

First, we check the voltage when turning on the ignition switch to the positive pole of the regulator relay, it should be 12 V.

If there is no voltage, we look for an open circuit from the positive terminal of the battery through the ignition switch to the terminal on the relay regulator.

What to do if charging on the IZH is lost? How to find a fault!

When operating an IZh motorcycle with 12-volt electrical equipment, the battery charge is lost first.

In addition, all three phases are called relative to the body (mass). If it rings, it means the windings in the housing are broken and that stator is not working properly.

We call the armature winding (on copper rings) If the rings sound to each other - well, if not - there is an open circuit, the armature will not work properly.

The next step is to ring the armature winding relative to the armature body.

A real rarity - the Izh Jupiter-5 motorcycle

Soviet motorcycles today remain a valuable means of transport, and it’s not a matter of price, but of quality. Izh Jupiter 5 is considered one of the most legendary motorcycles. Of all the motorcycles that were produced at the Izhevsk plant, this model was remembered most for its maneuverability and unpretentiousness on the roads, and given its small dimensions, the model marked itself as the best in terms of fuel consumption.

History of creation and manufacturer

In 1985, the first models of motorcycles Izh Jupiter 5 and Izh Jupiter - 5K were produced at the Izhmash plant. The designers who developed the model tried as much as possible to correct the shortcomings discovered during the operation of Jupiter. Basically, the whole problem was insufficient electrical equipment and the uneconomical nature of the device. Thus, Izh Jupiter - 5 became one of the most popular and best motorcycles in the USSR.

Motorcycle Izh Jupiter 5 is considered one of the most legendary

The model began to be actively produced from 1987 to 2008 in Izhevsk. Having a long resource, IZH Jupiter - 5 is well-assembled, belongs to the middle class and is excellent for various roads, even not asphalted.

The motorcycle has gained the greatest popularity among residents of rural areas due to the fact that it has high maneuverability and small dimensions, is economical and unpretentious in operation.

Model features

The main feature of the motorcycle is that it can be used with or without a side trailer. If we look at the design, it resembles the IZH Planet 5. A distinctive feature is the simplicity and beauty of the style, unique cylinder fins and completely new flange mounts on the exhaust pipes have appeared. The shape of the dashboard has become square, there is also a turn signal, low/high beam, ignition switch and speedometer. Due to the increase in seating, the shape of the tank has also changed.

The peculiarity of the model lies in the parameters related to weight and dimensions:

1. The ground clearance in different versions is 13.5 cm.
2. Wheelbase – 145 cm.
3. The length of the motorcycle is 217 cm.
4. Full width 81.5 cm.
5. Height 117 cm.

The weight of the Izh Jupiter 5 motorcycle reaches 160 kg, this helps the vehicle to be stable and maneuverable. If a side trailer is attached to the model, then the weight becomes 255 kg. The motorcycle can easily withstand a load of not only 170 kg, it can easily transport heavy loads, and there is no risk of wear and tear.

On the market Izh Jupiter 5 can be found in three modifications:

1. The standard model is a motorcycle without a side trailer, but with mounts for a sidecar if necessary.
2. The tourist model is equipped with a stroller and has an additional spare wheel with special lugs.
3. Izh Jupiter 5 luxury class comes without a side trailer and has no fastenings. But there is a compact fairing and several knee roll bars. Additionally, this model has a trailer rack.

Technical characteristics of the motorcycle IZH "Jupiter-5"

The model also demonstrates good performance in terms of technical characteristics. The Izh Jupiter 5 engine is a two-cylinder, two-stroke unit, which has additional built-in air-water cooling. The power of the technical device reaches 25 horsepower with an engine volume of 347.6 cm3. The motorcycle can freely reach a maximum speed of up to 125 km/h; with a sidecar, of course, the speed decreases slightly, but is at least 95 km/h.

The tourist model is equipped with a stroller

A distinctive feature is that the lubrication system works in concert with the fuel system. The oil is automatically diluted with gasoline. The gearbox is four-speed, the drive is on the rear wheel, that is, a chain. The clutch is multi-plate, closed, and is in oil. The brakes on a motorcycle are drum type. Fuel consumption is 4.5 liters per 100 kilometers. The Izh Jupiter 5 carburetor can be represented by the Czechoslovakian model Jikov-2928SE, but carburetors K-62D, K-65D, K-68D are more often installed.

The IZ Jupiter 5 wiring was created for battery use, so sometimes owners have difficulty starting the engine, there is an interruption in the operation of the motor, in this case it is recommended to install a contactless electronic system.

Maintenance and repair work

Considering the fact that the equipment has long been discontinued, parts on the market are not difficult to find, since the motorcycle remains in use. Fortunately for many owners, the design of the Izh Jupiter 5 motorcycle is simple, so repairs will not be difficult.

Changes made by owners

The unreliability of individual components and flabby wiring on IZ Jupiter 3 forced the owners to delve into all the intricacies of the updated elements.

And the first thing that caused numerous complaints were changes in the primary circuit of power supplies:

1. Accumulator battery;
2. Generator.

In addition to the ignition systems and lighting circuits of the towed module: a cargo-passenger car. In most cases, the reason for the refusal was a banal manufacturing defect.
