Jawa Motorcycle Concern was founded in 1929 and still exists today. It is located in Tinec nad Sazavou, and was founded by Frantisek Janicek, who acquired American equipment and a license for the production of motorcycles.
Java-350 motorcycles and 360/00 modifications began to be mass-produced in the second half of the past century, namely in 1964.
Equipment
Motorcycle "Java-360" received a two-stroke gasoline engine that drives a device weighing 175 kg. The volume of the engine is 346 cm³, capable of delivering 17.7 liters. With. By spinning the shaft up to 5,000 revolutions, you can get maximum power. The claimed maximum speed is 139 km/h, but according to the statements of many motorcyclists, they were able to accelerate to 150 km/h.
The front suspension is equipped with a telescopic fork, and the rear suspension is equipped with a pendulum. The instrument panel, made in a minimalist design, is located on the headlight housing. In addition to the high-speed information board, the panel has a distance meter, indicators for high beam, neutral gear, andalso turn signal.
The installed shoe-type brakes have proven themselves well. The braking of the rear wheel occurs after pressing the pedal located at the right footrest. The front brake is applied by actuating the lever on the right side of the handlebar.
"Java-360" ("the old woman" she is called for a long year of production) also received a high-quality automatic clutch. But in case of its failure, it is highly not recommended to use non-original spare parts. The clutch design of this motorcycle does not have the problems that often occur on other vehicles. To start the engine and disengage the rear wheel from the clutch, just shift the lever located on the steering wheel.
The described motorcycle has established itself as an excellent device, which is completely unpretentious in maintenance. If you have superficial knowledge, tools and desire, you can make repairs of any complexity. Spare parts for Java-360 are not in short supply. You can find them at any motorcycle shop.
Let's look at the main breakdowns of Java-360 that you can fix yourself.
Fuel system
Perhaps your "iron horse" started acting up, and you noticed the following:
- thick clouds of smoke escape from the exhaust pipe;
- heard "shots" and extraneous sounds in the engine;
- the device "sneezes";
- There are gasoline leaks near the gas tank, fuel line or carburetor.
The reason may be the depressurization of the fuel system or the low quality of the fuel mixture. In addition, the following malfunctions are possible:
- clogged air filter, fuel line jet or tap filter;
- change and, as a result, violation of the angles of connection of parts of the fuel system;
- "pouring" fuel into the carburetor, which is caused by improper operation of the float valve.
The solution for the Jawa motorcycle will be to replace some elements of the power system, as well as adjust and clean it.
Exhaust system
Often, the Java-360's exhaust system fails. External symptoms of a malfunction are as follows:
- Nuts have become darker at the junction of the exhaust pipes and cylinders.
- There are deformed areas on the exhaust pipes (dents).
Possible causes could be reduced engine power or blown exhaust. The solution to the problem is:
- Check and, if necessary, tighten the nuts located at the place where the exhaust pipes with cylinders are attached.
- Leveling dents or completely replacing a damaged pipe.
Electrical equipment
If there are problems with the wiring in "Java-360", then they can be noticed quite quickly, as sound and light devices stop working, and there are also difficulties with starting the engine. The reason for this may be:
- low electrolyte level, terminal oxidation, self-discharge and sulfation, and battery cell damage;
- problem alternator (disintegration, sinking, improper brush installation, worn plates or dirty collector);
- Incorrectly adjusted spark plug gap or complete wear;
- plating on the electrodes;
- poor insulation or damaged wiring;
- capacitor short circuit.
The solution to the problem will look like this:
- It is necessary to find the faulty section or assembly by repairing or completely replacing it.
- Adjust spark plug gaps.
- Restore contact of all elements.
As you can see, many problems can be quickly eliminated. But when engine malfunctions, it is best to contact a specialist.
