Motorcycle "Orion" is produced at the factories of the Russian holding "VELOMOTORS". By class, it is a light motorcycle. A similar model is "Ste alth", but there is no unification in terms of spare parts between them. "Orion" - a motorcycle is structurally reliable, has several modifications, which differ mainly in appearance. Motorcycle design can be futuristic, like the Gryphon, or discreet and elegant, like the Orion 125 City.

Road performance

"Orion" - a motorcycle with a pronounced sportiness, thin wheels with a deep tread indicate the motorcycle's readiness for off-road driving at high speeds. And its wheelbase of 1240 mm makes it possible to quickly maneuver. The length of the machine is 1850 mm, the width along the rudder line is 770 mm, and the height is 1020 mm. The clearance of the motorcycle is 125 mm, which is quite enough to overcome the unevenness of a dirt road, this is also facilitated by the relatively small weight of the Orion at 85 kg.

Design

The frame is tubular, steel, itsthe geometry is designed for high static loads during movement. "Orion" - a motorcycle with a margin of safety, can make jumps with a hard landing. The inertia is repaid by an elongated rear suspension pendulum type with two shock absorbers. The front suspension is a classic telescopic fork. Brakes on both wheels are drum, completely identical, interchangeable. The size of the rear wheel is 2.75x17, the front wheel is 2.50x18 inches. The wheels are pneumatic, the tire tread does not have a pattern direction, the spikes are quite high, this makes it possible to drive on winter roads. Motorcycle "Orion", the price of which is relatively low and amounts to 35-50 thousand rubles, may well claim the title of all-weather.

Engine

The Orion engine is a compact, single-cylinder, air-cooled, 4-stroke engine. The nominal rotation is 7400 rpm, while developing a power of 7 horsepower. Lubrication of the crank mechanism occurs due to the oil content in the fuel mixture in a ratio of 1:20. During the break-in period of a new motorcycle, the ratio of oil and gasoline should be 1:10, that is, a liter of oil per 10 liters of gasoline. Motorcycle "Orion", the technical characteristics of which are close to world standards in its class, with a good run-in can last a long time. Fuel from an 8-liter fuel tank enters the carburetor by gravity and then is delivered to the combustion chamber in atomized form. Ignitioncarried out using magneto CDI and candles A8U.

Transmission

Rotation from the crankshaft is transmitted to the gearbox through a multi-plate clutch operating in an oil bath. This principle of operation of the clutch provides a smooth connection of the rotating components of the engine, and hence the movement without jerks. "Orion" is a dynamic motorcycle, it needs some stabilization of its impulsive character. KP he has a 4-speed, with foot shifting gears by means of a lever located on the left side. From the gearbox, the rotation is transmitted to the rear wheel using a chain, the tension of which is regulated by moving the wheel axle, with its subsequent fixation. The chain must not be overstretched, as this creates stress between the links and can cause the chain to stretch. The tension of the chain drive is checked in a simple way, the chain should sag in its middle part by one and a half to two centimeters.
