Tuning the stealth delta 200 motorcycle
NOW ABOUT MOTORS.. According to the new introductions to the law, a motor is a spare part, similar to a muffler or a wheel.
If there is a critical breakdown and you do not want to repair the motor, you can replace it. There is advice from “Peter”: Cross-country motorcycles with water cooling have small-sized engines: Kava klx 450, Kawasaki KL250, suzuki dr 350\450, honda xr 400., Hohda CRM250R, Yamaha XT 400., Yamaha ttr-250. Yes, yes, 30-50 horses!! Such volumes are “our” sizes. I’ll also note that cross-country shoes of smaller volumes will also fit. When choosing an Enduro motor, you need to pay attention to the presence of a generator! Not every Enduro has optics and a generator. When buying a motor, we also buy brains, and maybe also a carburetor. You can also sell our motor, say for the PHANTOM 125., and buy a new one, larger in volume and even water-cooled. Some are 100% consistent with our mounts. Information - JUST NOTE! 1. There is nothing difficult in replacing motors, as long as you understand the process. 2. And from ZAZ they put it in the Urals. 3. It's not about the links, but about the very idea of being able to replace the motor. 4. This topic is very serious and it is reasonable to discuss it with experienced people, and not with first-timers. (Even I’m not an expert until I’ve done this myself). 5. If you use non-Chinese motors, there is a possibility that the mounts will not fit - we just weld new ears onto the frame, and that’s it). 6. If the motor has a star/chain on the other side, turn the wheel over, extend the brake hose, and prepare a stop for disc brakes. 7. Any increase in power may require strengthening the frame - not difficult manipulations, although I believe that our frame is quite strong. Something like this. This is just an idea.. I don't chase waste, I improve what I have. And for you, it’s probably easier to sell the SB and buy a good one or a car))) —- This is normal and correct.
Stealth GT400 - Engine brand. (XY191MQ-2),ENGINE XY191MQ-2. — When analyzing the frames and the engine, I came to the conclusion that our electronics fit 100%. The motor fits the mounts, but POSSIBLY the offset of the drive star is greater - we will have to redo the driven star coupling.

Stels Delta 200 2012 → What will happen if you don’t test the Chinese? Preparing for the upgrade.
By the end of the 2014 season, trouble struck, the engine could not spin above 8000 rpm and the maximum speed dropped from 105 to 97 kilometers (measured with the Diablo SBK program from Pirelli). The motorcycle was successfully moved to the balcony, after which I again left for the country of the eternal season (Thailand ) and slowly moving along the highway on the Ducati monster 796, I realized that it wouldn’t be bad for the delta to increase its speed a little, but at the same time not lose in acceleration. At first I wanted to install a 250 cc engine like the one found on the irbis ttr250 or irbis z-1. But these engines turned out to be OHC type. (I didn’t want to get problems with stretching the Chinese timing chain) and the price of about 40,000 thousand cast doubt on the feasibility of such an upgrade. Next, I found information about a kit for replacing a carburetor with an injector. After reading more than 1000 pages, it became clear that the kits are very crude, the increase in power is doubtful, but gasoline running from the pump and a constantly discharged battery are very real.
Comparison with analogues and competitors
When faced with choosing a budget and compact motorcycle from a company with Stealth, you should pay attention to the Stels Flame 200. This is a road motorcycle with a power of 13.1 hp. Its dimensions are slightly larger than those of the Stels Delta motorcycle, and the tank volume is 17 liters. The bike is equipped with air-oil cooling, electric starter, etc.
The main competitor of the Stels Delta 200 is considered to be the Japanese-made Yamaha YBR 125 motorcycle. It is also called a legend of motorcycle construction. This model is popular among beginners all over the world and is distinguished by its simple design and reliability. Technical characteristics are similar to Stels Delta, only the Yamaha YBR 125 is equipped with a weaker engine and a smaller fuel tank. Despite the “weaker” characteristics, the Japanese costs 100 thousand rubles more than the Chinese.

Stels Delta 200 is simple in design, which opens up scope for tuning. Owners begin modernization by replacing tires with higher quality and wider ones, installing xenon headlights and large mirrors. Overall, the motorcycle is an excellent budget option for city riding.
Owner reviews
Reviews about the Stels brand model are very contradictory. Beginners and novice motorcyclists appreciated the simple controls, low price and economical fuel consumption. Experienced bikers didn't like Delta. According to professionals, the motorcycle is more like a scooter and is not suitable for long trips. But they all agree on one thing: the Delta is a cheap and workhorse, which is suitable for couriers and those who like to ride around the city.
Among the positive characteristics, reviews predominate about good fit, sufficient power, maneuverability, high-quality assembly and inexpensive maintenance.
Among the disadvantages are bad tires, vibration at high speed, small mirrors, bad light.
Review and photos of Stels Delta 200
Even before the creation of this model began, the manufacturer set a task: to create a cheap bike with the highest possible characteristics and quality. As a result, the price for Stels Delta 200 was 58,000 rubles (as of 2016), which makes it possible for anyone to buy the equipment. Unlike its Japanese competitors, the Stealth Delta 200 wins in almost everything, because in order to bring a Japanese model to Russia you will need to clear it through customs, which in general will give the price twice as much as the Chinese model.
We also recommend that you look at other reviews of motorcycle equipment from the Stealth brand, namely the Stels Flame 200 and Stels Flex 250 motorcycles.
The most important competitor in terms of power and other characteristics is the Yamaha YBR-125, which was inferior to the Chinese in price. But they still had similarities, and this is a fairly comfortable fit. If you decide to go on a long trip, the soft shock-absorbing seat will provide maximum comfort. The 18-liter fuel tank and fuel consumption of approximately 3.5 liters are enough for a long trip. The owners consider the stock tires to be a big disadvantage of the motorcycle. Almost all reviews of the Stealth 200 say that standard tires are cheap and therefore of poor quality. It is recommended to replace it with a wider and more expensive one.
If you are afraid about motorcycle repair, then there is no need to worry here. Firstly, if you buy a new bike from a Stels company store, then most likely there is a company service station nearby where you can get inexpensive and high-quality repairs. If you want to do it yourself, you can buy Stels 200 spare parts and change everything manually; the design of the motorcycle allows you to do this. Parts for this model are inexpensive, for example, a chain for wheels will cost 800 rubles, and a starter will cost 1,000 rubles.
Conclusion
In the current situation, Chinese technology will be the best option. And motorcycles have always been in the lead in these statistics, because for the most part you want something inexpensive and at the same time more or less high quality. The best representative of this ratio is the Stels brand. He took into account all the wishes of the customers and made a bike for beginners with an excellent price tag. There were also experienced riders who also liked the Delta 200. The above-mentioned disadvantages can not be considered as serious, because in general Stels Delta is a really successful model.
Technical characteristics of Stels Delta 200
Delta 200 has proven itself in terms of technical characteristics, showing an excellent ratio. The volume of the Stels Delta 200 is only 197 cm3, but the engine power is 13.6 horses. Accordingly, the characteristics of the Stels Delta 200 allow the motorcycle to provide excellent dynamics and a maximum speed of up to 120 km/h.
Most Stealth engines are manufactured in a standard way, so this model has the usual engine operation in 4-stroke mode, 1 cylinder and air cooling. It is the simplicity of spare parts and repairs that allows us to set such a low price. Both brakes on the motorcycle are hydraulic disc, but reviews of the Stels 200 indicate that the braking system here is of rather poor quality and does not fulfill its role 100%. Using the above-mentioned characteristics, the Stels Delta 200 is perfect for a beginner, who, in turn, will experience all the advantages of a motorcycle that has an attractive design and quite acceptable data.
