Design of the Lynx snowmobile ignition system / burantorg.ru

Adult transport in the hands of children becomes a source of pride. However, there are very few specialized cars produced specifically for young drivers. Taiga RM Lynx will not only bring joy to the child, but will also provide an opportunity to quickly learn how to ride a snowmobile. The model is the only snowmobile for children that was created and produced in Russia.

Taiga RM Lynx is a product of the famous one, located in Rybinsk (Yaroslavl region). This brand is considered the leader in the domestic snowmobile industry and has been on the market for over 40 years. “Russian Mechanics” is the only manufacturer of such equipment in the country, and the company’s products are maximally adapted to Russian conditions. The dealer network covers 63 regions (140 points of sale of spare parts), which facilitates equipment maintenance. The brand's line is represented by 2 popular series: Buran and Taiga.

Recently, the company began production of a special model for children - Taiga RM Lynx. The transport received the design of a “big brother” and good technical characteristics. Taiga RM Lynx is a smaller copy of the Taiga snowmobile (the equipment cannot be considered as a toy).

Brakes

Mechanical disc brakes are installed here, the braking distance of which is 13 m at a speed of 30 km/h. The system is equipped with a manual cable drive.

The device that secures the parking brakes consists of a latch. In order to remove the vehicle from the parking brakes, you must press a special lever that activates the spring mechanism.

The disc is attached to the hub and secured with 6 mounting bolts.

The design of the entire system consists of:

• main brake cylinder block;
• vacuum booster;
• a device that regulates the pressure level of the working fluid;
• working circuits;
• brake pads.

The cylinder block converts traction force into fuel pressure in the system and distributes it equally among the operating circuits.

Suspension

Different modifications have different suspension mechanisms: lever, pneumatic and independent. Each of them is equipped with a balanced spring device.

The front suspension travel varies from 20 cm to 25 cm, and the rear suspension travel ranges from 30 cm to 37 cm.

The design of this mechanism consists of:

• bearing housings;
• external hub;
• stars;
• inner hub;
• shaft;
• mounting screws and nuts;
• bushings;
• roller;
• skis;
• axial mechanism;
• clamp;
• buffers;
• steering column;
• cuff;
• thrust washer;
• retaining ring and sealing ring.

The spring assemblies are attached to the bracket on the bottom of the ski body. The tips of the root leaf must be locked; for this you can use cotter pins. The longitudinal movement of the springs along the axis of the mechanism occurs due to sliding along a special liner of the front protrusion of the main sheet.

Electrical equipment

This equipment has halogen and LED headlights. Their design includes a body, a rim and an optical device. The lamp is secured in a special compartment using a spring latch. It is equipped with 3 pins that are needed to connect the plug connector. Using the adjusting screws, you can set the power of the headlights.

The tail light is attached to the rear suspension housing with 2 bolts. The structure of this lantern includes a lamp, glass, sockets and a base.

This snowmobile also uses safety devices with current ratings of 15 and 30 A. Such mechanisms are used to protect the electrical circuit from premature wear.

The button that activates the brake light is located on the steering handle.

How to improve the Lynx snowmobile

Often the cooling system needs to be upgraded. If fulfilling all the requirements for changing the oil and adjusting various systems does not produce results, then it is recommended to modify the engine cooling system yourself. The easiest way out in this situation is to insulate the exhaust system. The point of this is to prevent the air from heating up through the collector; in addition, this method reduces noise. Silencers of foreign-made devices are initially packed with materials with a high degree of noise absorption. The right solution is to make a separate supply to the air intake or a heat shield to protect against the negative effects of the muffler.

Now we need to improve engine cooling and reduce cylinder temperatures, in general, install a screen between the output type manifold and the engine cylinders. The purpose of such a device is to cut off air in the cylinders and protect against additional heating. If there is no such solution, it is recommended to use this method: make a plate and install it, regardless of the brand of snowmobile. The effect of the design is noticeable even without the use of electronic temperature sensors of the power unit. The thermal stress of the cylinders is especially greatly reduced.

The latest modification to the cooling system is to increase the speed of the impeller of the device that moves the gas. It is necessary to change the dimensions of the pulley and at the same time use a non-standard dimension of the fan belt, for such an improvement you need to contact a specialist and have the opportunity to select fan belts.

Estimated cost

The youth ATV “Lynx 125 Sport” from the Russian] “Russian Mechanics” is not intended for work on a personal plot or on a farm. This is an image, sports model for the entertainment and development of the younger generation. Also, you should not rely on it as a vehicle or traction machine.

However, the cost of this all-terrain vehicle is very attractive to deny your child the indescribable pleasure of owning such a machine.

Thus, the starting price for the RM Lynx 125 Sport model at domestic official dealers of the manufacturer ranges from 55,000 to 59,000 rubles.

Characteristics of the Kohler SH265-0021 motor

Snowmobile design

When creating the model, components from adult snowmobiles were used: Composite tracks (Kursk), Mikuni carburetor (Japan) and Kohler engine (USA). Levers, individual components and frames are produced at the Russian Mechanics enterprise, and equipment is assembled here.

Lynx RM is a very compact model. To store a snowmobile in the off-season, you do not need a garage, since it can fit on a small balcony.

Dimensions of the children's Lynx

Features of operation

Taiga RM Lynx is not subject to registration with the State Technical Supervision Authority (a passport for the model is not issued), which facilitates the operation process. The snowmobile is intended for use by children from 6 years of age in special areas under adult supervision. It is prohibited to operate the vehicle on public roads.

The safety of Taiga RM Lynx is guaranteed by:

• A special protrusion that reduces the risk of a small driver falling during a sudden start.
• Lever suspension and widely spaced skis make the snowmobile very stable and make it easier to move over uneven surfaces.
• A safety switch with a clothing clip that allows you to quickly stop your snowmobile.
• Low-slung, minimizing the risk of injury from a fall.
• Special reflectors allow you to quickly detect a snowmobile in the dark.
• A flag with the brand symbol complements the design and allows you not to lose sight of the equipment.

Owner reviews

Owner reviews of the Taiga RM Lynx model are very mixed.

• Marina from Saratov writes: We bought a snowmobile for our son in 2013 for his birthday. While the technology is only pleasing, everything about it is convenient and simple. My husband loads the snowmobile into the car alone without much effort, and also unloads it alone. The car works great. True, the mileage is not very large. During the season, my son skated no more than 20 hours. The build quality is also pleasing so far; no extraneous noise or unnecessary parts have been found. When purchasing, we chose between the Dingo 125 and Taiga RM Lynx models. In the end, we settled on the Russian model (after advice from experienced snowmobile owners, we did not take China). The presence of an American engine was an additional factor that tipped the scales in favor of the Taiga RM Lynx.
• Sergey: Taiga RM Lynx immediately seemed very reliable. We thought for a long time whether a children's snowmobile was needed in the family. In the end, we decided to please the child and purchased it. The cost of the model made it possible to do this without significant problems for the budget (we paid about 110,000 rubles). The technology lives up to expectations and does not cause serious trouble. The snowmobile is easy to operate and a child can handle it easily. During operation (2 years, 8-10 hours of driving), no breakdowns were noted.
• Alexey, Yaroslavl: Taiga RM Lynx is a traditionally Russian snowmobile (albeit for children) with the same “sores”. We needed a snowmobile for an amusement park. I thought about purchasing this model for a long time, but still made a choice in its favor instead of its Chinese counterpart. In principle, the equipment is quite reliable, but problems arise regularly (possibly due to the large roll-up). In the second year, oil began to escape from the engine, and dampness appeared at the pump. The headlight failed several times. Starting with a manual starter soon became very problematic. At the end of the second year, the ball joints broke and the suspension began to creak. The plastic was also not of the best quality. Many parts for snowmobiles are imported from the Middle Kingdom, which explains the poor quality. Taiga RM Lynx turned out to be no better than its Chinese counterpart.
• User Vitaly N: We have been using the Taiga RM Lynx model for almost 3 years. The functionality is very limited, but for children nothing more is required. I'm pleased with the low market value, interesting design and cheap components. There are certain factory defects, but the snowmobile is quite passable for its price.

Criteria for choosing a utilitarian snowmobile

To choose a utilitarian type snowmobile, you must first study the offers on the market, read reviews, and consult with more experienced comrades. The main criteria should be:

engine power, it should be more; Pay attention to the location of the skis, the track should be 900-1000 mm, and the calculation is carried out between the inner edges of the skis.

The remaining indicators can be completely different; they will not particularly affect the characteristics.

We compared the Taiga and Lynx snowmobiles. There is no point in recommending the purchase of one of them; everyone must decide for themselves which is more suitable.

The Lynx snowmobile is a fast, maneuverable machine!

A mechanical transport device designed to move on snow is called a snowmobile. This is a small tracked snowmobile. Their controls are made in the image of motorcycle ones.

The model range of universal snowmobiles of the Ufa Motor Production Association presents a snowmobile

View the “Lynx” gallery. It has been produced here since 1991.

On snowy off-road terrain, the Lynx snowmobile covers enormous distances. It tows sleds with luggage up to 250 kg. Can be used at temperatures down to minus forty degrees.

This is a versatile, high-performance vehicle with a powerful electric motor. In fact, the Lynx snowmobile is considered a workhorse. It is used in forestry and farming, and is used to patrol the state border. People are happy to use this machine when servicing oil and gas pipelines.

But he looks unusually like a lynx! A snowmobile of this model is a high-speed, maneuverable machine. The two-cylinder engine allows you to accelerate it on flat crust to 90 km/h. And the “Lynx-Sport” model has a shortened track and lighter weight. Its speed reaches 100 km/h.

View gallery

Here the front suspension is very easy to control. In combination with the articulated rear, it creates conditions for smooth movement at high speed even over rough terrain. The Lynx snowmobile is equipped with a wide and long track, which allows you to confidently move not only on crusty crust, but also on loose snow. And high fuel efficiency and engine power are ensured by an automatic centrifugal continuously variable variator and, of course, a caterpillar propulsion system.

The engine is located at the front of the structure. The snowmobile is equipped with two support skis with a turn.

The kit includes a capacious trunk for transporting equipment and a high canopy that protects from the wind. These details create comfort both during rest and during working hours.

So what is the lineup of these amazing snowmobiles?

• "Lynx" 113 is the first sample. This is not a very good copy of the Arctic Cat snowmobile. The engine cylinders of this model are completely aluminum, silicon-coated and without liners. Such a defect disabled the engine in the first tens of kilometers of the trip.
• “Lynx” 119 – tourist snowmobile.
  This modification features a new hood design and engine modernization. View gallery
• “Lynx-sport” 121 – sports snowmobile.
• Model 500+219 is a snowmobile for tourists.
• "Lynx 500M". The hood has been completely changed and a MIKUNI carburetor made in Japan has been installed.
• "Lynx 500MP". The gearbox of this variation is gear-type.

All versions of the snowmobile are equipped with a starter.

Oh, this magnificent Lynx snowmobile! The customer reviews about it are wonderful! But there is one small inconvenience. In 2009, the Ufa Association stopped producing this iron horse. The company has completely curtailed the production of snowmobiles. Today, purchasing this product is quite problematic. But you can try to buy it from a private owner? Although, probably, not every owner will want to part with such useful snowmobiles.

Reviews

• Ruslan, Krasnoyarsk. I bought this snowmobile for my son for his birthday. The car easily fits into the trunk of our VAZ Five. At the same time, the snowmobile is quite light, I can lift it myself without outside help. The child likes the device. But the mileage is still short. In one season, my son logs more than 20 hours. There are no complaints about the build quality, the same applies to noise and vibrations - everything is quite quiet, nothing creaks or rattles, like in adult domestic snowmobiles. Initially, the choice fell on the more expensive Dingo 125, but we were advised to choose the Taiga RM Lynx, which is supposedly more reliable and has all the necessary spare parts. In addition, our friends did not advise dealing with Chinese products. We were pleasantly surprised by the news that the Taiga RM Lynx is equipped with an American engine, and this made us even more forced to buy a Russian car. In addition, it has many other imported components.
• Diana, Saratov. The Taiga RM Lynx snowmobile is a good machine for a novice user. The device turned out to be very reliable. My child was in seventh heaven as soon as he discovered something near the Christmas tree. This model cost us about 100 thousand rubles. In general, the equipment does not cause any worries, it is very reliable and does not require additional maintenance. The child quickly learned to control it, and even wants to go faster, but this is impossible due to the limit of 13-15 km/h. My son is very upset about this, but on the contrary, I think that the engineers did the right thing by limiting the speed. Over two years, the snowmobile's mileage was about 25 thousand hours, which is not so little for a children's snowmobile.
• Daniil, Vorkuta. Although the car is for children, it is traditionally Russian, endowed with the same problems that adult Russian snowmobiles can boast of. Unfortunately, this is true. This device was purchased for an amusement park. Still, the choice fell on a domestic model, although I could have taken a Chinese snowmobile without any problems. After two weeks of operation, the first problems appeared. So, oil began to escape from the engine, and dampness began to waft from the pump. The headlights are unreliable, constantly burning out and fogging up. There were problems starting the engine - due to a manual starter, which would have been better made electric. And then, you see, they found something to save on. Like, the device is for children, why all these bells and whistles in a Russian car... In the second year of operation, the ball joints wore out, and the suspension began to creak. The plastic elements are not of the best quality; they crack in cold weather. The poor quality of the parts is probably due to their origin - all components are imported from China. We took this car because the park didn’t give us any more money. So we get out as best we can. I do not recommend anyone to buy this snowmobile.
• Semyon, Ryazan. Our child is very pleased with the Taiga RM Lynx snowmobile. He has been riding it since he was five years old, now he is eight. Over three years of use, the total mileage of the car was more than 38 thousand hours. It’s clear that the device is not equipped with a wide range of options and functions, which is understandable from a security point of view. Besides, the children don’t need anything more - they sat down, went and arrived. The car looks beautiful - the designers did their best, the child approves. I was pleased with the low cost of components for this snowmobile. It is easy to control and can be driven even in loose snow, although it is not safe due to limited traction. The car is a bit heavy for a child, so it needs to be controlled. We don’t plan to change it yet; the snowmobile is still suitable for our son’s height. It is very economical and consumes 92 gasoline.

The car does not need to be registered with Gostekhnadzor, and this greatly facilitates the operation of the snowmobile. According to official data, children over the age of 6 years are allowed to drive this car. Moreover, special conditions apply to the operation of a snowmobile on certain road sections, and only under the supervision of adults. The device must not be used on public roads for safety reasons. The Taiga RM Lynx snowmobile has compact dimensions and is distinguished by a high level of practicality and comfort. It can be stored in the off-season and does not require a garage. In extreme cases, this model can easily fit at home - in a pantry or on a balcony.

Returning to the topic of safety, the developers tried to pay special attention to it, taking into account the purpose of the machine. Thus, the snowmobile is equipped with an electronic speed limiter, which is activated when a certain speed is reached. Also included as standard is an emergency engine stop system and a built-in ignition switch.

The machine is among the most affordable children's snowmobiles, and in terms of its price, it differs significantly from utilitarian snowmobiles. Thus, for little money the consumer will receive a fairly reliable Russian snowmobile that is not inferior to more expensive foreign analogues. It is able to withstand heavy loads and has a large margin of safety. The manufacturer provides a three-year warranty for the machine.
