"IZH Planet-4", the photo of which is presented below, is a classic version of a middle-class road-type motorcycle designed to ride on tracks of completely different surfaces. The Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant was engaged in the production of this model. The popularity of the motorcycle speaks for itself, because almost everyone had (and has) one.
Quick overview
The engine, which was installed on the motorcycle "IZH Planeta-4", had a fairly large thrust. In this case, the work was carried out at a relatively low speed. Directly to the motorcycle itself, it was possible to attach a side trailer (passenger or cargo type) or a universal module. In addition, it was possible to attach additional knee guards and a trunk. In order to reduce the force when disengaging the clutch, IZH Planeta-4 uses a multi-plate clutch. Together with the air cleaner, vibration dampers for the oversized cylinder fins help to reduce the noise level that is produced by the motorcycle. The front wheel of this model is equipped with hydropneumatic type suspension with disc brake.
Modernization
The production of the motorcycle "IZH Planeta-4" has undergone a number of changes. So, a generator was used in the design, the operation of which is based on permanent magnets. This part also has a non-contact type ignition system, which, in turn, operates independently of the battery. In addition, the engine itself is equipped with a special separation type lubrication pump. This eliminated the need to use a gasoline-oil mixture. The IZH Planet-4 motorcycle is equipped with a four-speed gearbox with an eccentric-type mechanism for disengaging the clutch and a more powerful motor chain. The front disc brake is hydraulically actuated, and the suspension system uses improved shock absorbers. In addition, the changes have also affected the kinematics of the brake drive for the rear wheel.
Technical features of the motorcycle
Basic data: the distance between the wheel axles is set at 1,450 mm; at absolute load and tire pressure within the normal range, the ground clearance is 135 mm. The dimensions are as follows: length - 2200 mm, width - 810 mm, height - 1200 mm, weight (dry) - 158-165 kg, maximum load capacity - 170 kg, including load on the trunk equal to 20 kg. The power of the motorcycle is 22 horsepower. At an optimal speed of 90 km / h, fuel is consumed at 5 liters per hundred kilometers.
Engine specification
Motorcycle "IZH Planet-4" is equipped with a 2-stroke engine, cylinder sizewhich is 72 mm, and the volume is 3,346 cm. The lubrication system is separate, equipped with an oil pump that doses the flow depending on the frequency at which the crankshaft rotates and the engine load. There is a non-contact type electronic ignition system with (automatic) ignition advance control depending on the frequency at which the engine crankshaft rotates. However, it does not depend on the battery. For operation, it is desirable to use gasoline with an octane rating of at least 76. The engine uses an air cooling system. The transmission from the engine to the clutch is carried out by means of a two-row drive bushing chain.
Checkpoint
Four-speed gearbox - three-shaft, it is located in one block along with the engine. The gear ratio for the clutch from the engine is 2.17, while the gear ratio for the rear wheel from the gearbox is 2.33. A little more about the other gear ratios: 1st - 3.88; 2nd - 2, 01; 3rd - 1, 26; 4th - 1, 0. The suspension of the front of the motorcycle is of a telescopic type, and the rear is of a lever type, with shock absorbers (spring-hydraulic). Rear drum brakes, front hydraulic disc brakes.
How is the wiring of "IZH Planeta-4"?
The motorcycle uses twelve-volt equipment. Electrical wiring "IZH Planet-4" single-wire type. The metal frame performs the task of "minus". It clearly demonstrates the maincomponents of the electrical wiring of the motorcycle "IZH Planet-4" scheme of the ignition system, power sources, position light and turns, as well as head light.
Generator
The motorcycle is equipped with a 3-phase alternator which has an electromagnetic excitation circuit. The principle of its operation is based on some features. So, the electrical circuit of "IZH Planet-4" is as follows: the current is supplied to the rectifier, which, in turn, converts it into a constant, then supplies it to consumers through the ignition switch. The generator factory manual contains the following items:
- voltage regulator with rectifier "BPV-14-10";
- generator stator with windings;
- generator rotor;
- cam of the battery ignition system and contact assembly of the ignition system;
- current collector brushes.
For reference: the windings on the three-phase generators of the motorcycle "IZH Planet-4" are connected in a "star" or "triangle" type, and the rectifier is installed in a separate unit, and the wiring is directly connected to it.
Head lighting
In European countries, there is a requirement regarding the mandatory equipment of motorcycles and similar equipment with a battery with permanent magnet generators. There are no such restrictions in the Russian Federation. With the generator installed, the IZH Planeta-4 motorcycle does not need a removable power source to start the engine. Accordingly, that is why in the basicbattery not included.
The head light circuit consists of a rear brake light, a parking light and a blue indicator lamp. The motorcycle is equipped with a speedometer with mileage indicators (daily and total), a tachometer, control lamps for direction indicators and head light, a voltmeter and an engine temperature sensor. Very often during operation it is necessary to set the gap between the contacts of the breaker. To do this, it is best to use the diagram and special tools in order to know which elements need to be dismantled.

Coolant circuit diagram. Engine cooling system diagram
Every car uses an internal combustion engine. Liquid cooling systems are widely used - only on the old "Zaporozhets" and the new "Tata" air blowing is used. It should be noted that the coolant circulation scheme on all machines is almost similar - the same elements are present in the design, they perform identical functions
