Overhaul of the Izh Jupiter engine - this is real Soviet quality

For many Russians, Soviet motorcycles became a guide to the world of technology and freedom. This is especially true for those who grew up in rural areas during the Soviet era. Then almost every village was “breathing deeply.” And the residents were mostly hard-working and kept poultry and small livestock. And many people had cows - in almost every yard. This helped raise children strong and healthy. Naturally, to make life easier, you need technology. There were problems with walk-behind tractors in the Soviet years; only a few were able to buy them. And they complained about periodic breakdowns. But it was possible to get a horse from the collective farm. And for travel for personal needs, they bought two-wheeled vehicles. Fortunately, it was accessible and available in every village. And the conversation wasn’t just about bicycles—they also sold motorcycles.


As for the reliability of the latter, this is a controversial issue. As a rule, few people in the village bothered with the appearance of the equipment. It drives – and it’s good. What does it look like - question ten. There seemed to be enough machine operators, but even their motorcycles often looked terrible. However, there were also well-groomed specimens, and sometimes they were even decorated. The author of the “MOTO KOR.” channel will tell you how reliable the average early Izh Jupiter is. After driving 5 thousand kilometers, he opened the engine and found a lot of interesting things there. Moreover, by the end of the trip the engine was making a terrible noise. But he brought the owner home, despite multiple breakdowns.
