The stels delta 200 motorcycle appeared on the Russian market in 2011 and immediately attracted the attention of many lovers of two-wheeled vehicles. For little money (up to 50–70 thousand rubles), motorcyclists could purchase quite powerful 200 cc equipment, distinguished by a classic design and solid appearance. Today, prices for stealth delta have dropped noticeably due to the appearance of impressive mileage on the equipment.
It should be noted that the stels delta 200 became one of the main competitors of the famous Yamaha Yubr 125. Possessing more advanced dynamic and technical characteristics, the cost of the delta 200 model was significantly lower. Despite some differences, both motorcycles have several similarities, one of which is a comfortable fit.
What engine can be installed on the stealth delta 200
Having ridden Moto-Summer 2013 on an Orion 125, the question arose for me: What to ride to Crimea 2014? There are a lot of plans: Moscow—Abkhakhia—Crimea—Kyiv—Kharkov—Moscow (the plan was built in 2013). I figured it would be around 6000 km. Orion raised questions.
Among the contenders were Yobrik, Stealth Delta 200 and CF moto Leader 150.
Ebrik is reliable, proven, with a lot of other people’s travel experience online. Comfortable for long range riders. Lots of accessories. Quiet modern engine. Among the shortcomings - weak, airy, high-speed. Dearest.
Stealth Delta 200 - cheap, comfortable to sit, high torque at lower speeds. And an 18-liter gas tank! But air and lower timing belt. And you’ll install a trunk fic.
CF moto Leader 150 - modern, dropsy and upper timing belt, 6 gears, original Chinese, which is sold all over the world. There is a trunk. It costs less than Yobra. The disadvantages are lower torque (than on the Delta) and high speed. The supports of the legs are not brought forward: it is possible that the legs will get tired.
I haven't watched Stealth Flame 200. Yes, a trunk, an oil cooler (which still needs to be changed to a Zaporozhye one) and a lot of experience on the Internet. But the pegs are at the back, and for the money it’s better to get a CF moto with dropsy.
I haven’t looked at Stealth SB 200 at all. Mot took it at a distance. I would go nuts from such a landing.
And the choice fell in favor of the “wallet + comfort” parameter. Those. Stealth Delta 200. Which I ordered in February at the winter price of 46,500 rubles with free storage at the dealer until April 1. And on April 1, the Chinese lowered the yuan and Delta remained at a price of 46,000 until the crisis in the fall of 2014. As a result, I wasted my time driving home in the spring cold. Eh, if I knew the purchase, I would live in Sochi. That is OK.
Next is registration and running-in. From the salon straight to the Moscow Ring Road: very difficult - I couldn’t resist. But during the running-in process I drove better and better. Do you think running-in is 1000 km? Nothing like this. The motor finally woke up at 3000 km. And then he drove off most excellently.
Well, the rest turned out to be a normal spendthrift. The TO-300 was done at the dealer (my principle is “the first service is at the dealer, and then we look at the terms of the warranty”), everything was stretched and lubricated. The valves were not adjusted. I did TO-1000 at 950 km myself. I stretched everything, adjusted the valves and carburetor, and filled it with oil. I was pleased with the quality of the metal (HA! On the Crimean trip I broke the lever of the central footrest, because there is no point in pressing it so hard when the bike is loaded, the metal is still Chinese, but on average the metal is not bad for China).
A digression for those who will travel south with motor oil: I always use only semi-synthetic autos and accept motor oil only on high-speed Japanese vehicles. I don’t take part in the discussion of motor oils, I’m just saying what kind of oil I use. But I want to immediately note one point: semi-synthetic cars are good in the middle zone, but in the south, for air under constant load, I would recommend 20W50 mineral water. It’s hard to find such a car oil in Moscow now, but Liqui-Moli-Mineral 20W50 motorcycle oil costs quite tolerably and has good characteristics. At the same time, I drove the entire Krasnodar region on semi-synthetic 10W40 (it’s not so hot in Crimea) - it’s tolerable. I simply changed the oil not once every 2000-2500, but once every 1500-1700 km and shifted gears more gently. The gearbox does not like overheated auto-semi-synthetics. But in the middle zone, semi-synthetic autos work even better in the gearbox. I ride on it.
By the Crimean trip in July 2014, I had covered 1600 km without any problems. I was very pleased with the bike, loaded the donkey, tightened the chain, tightened a few nuts and went south. I did not change the oil and changed it at about 3100 km (driving about 2150 km). It was difficult to load, I had to think for a long time, but this is in the story that I am still writing.
The Chinese chain has an interesting property - if you drive at a speed of up to 70 km/h, it hardly stretches and you can drive 1000 km or more without even thinking about tightening it. But as soon as you start driving 80-90-100, the chain begins to stretch, requiring mandatory tensioning every 1000 km and checking every 500 km.
Fit: very comfortable. Me, with my height
