зеркала для Kawasaki ER-5 reply
Читать рекламные буклеты про новые снегоходы это одно дело, а попробовать их в работе – совсем другое. Поделимся впечатлениями о трех совершенно разных моделях Polaris. В холмистой местности под Санкт-Петербургом прошел тест-драйв, на котором были представлены три модели из весьма обширной линейки снегоходов Polaris 2011 года. Новый “Ranger RZR XP 900” от “Polaris” Внешне он похож на предыдущие “RZR 800” и “RZR S 800”, но это не рестайлинг, а абсолютно новый четырехколесник, начиная от уникальной ходовой и кончая мотором мощностью 88 л. Грязь в близлежащем болоте помесить, съездить «по азимуту» на деревню к бабушке, убить пару безвинных животных, или, в конце концов, сенца на дачу привезти. Назначение спортквадров тоже сомнений не вызывает – они сделаны для езды по маршруту «старт-подиум». Линейка 125-кубовых скутеров компании Peugeot напоминает частокол: одних базовых моделей - шесть штук. Но в том строю нашёлся промежуток малый и для седьмого члена семейства, Citystar. Города в нём пока гораздо больше, чем GT- но всему своё время.
а зеркала на Ducati 749 правое зеркало для Yamaha YBR 125 правое зеркало на Harley-Davidson FLHTC зеркала на Suzuki GZ 250 правое зеркало на Triumph Thunderbird 107-01 (известные как ИЖ Планета 5-01) относятся к мотоциклам среднего класса и предназначе­ны для эксплуатации на дорогах с различным дорожным покрытием. Мотоциклы ИЖ Планета 5-01 являются модернизацией мотоциклов ИЖ Планета 5 с усовершен­ствованием узлов и систем. В системе электрооборудования Иж Планета применен генератор на постоянных магнитах, с бесконтактной системой за­жигания, работающей независимо от аккумуляторной ба­тареи, с автоматически регулируемым опережением за­жигания. Двигатель мотоцикла Иж Планета оборудован насосом раздельной системы смазки, что исключило необходимость подготовки и ис­пользования в системе питания мотоцикла смеси бензи­на с маслом. Коробка передач этого мотоцикла четырехступенчатая с эксцентрико­вым механизмом выключения муфты сцепления и уси­ленной моторной цепью. Тормоз переднего колеса Иж Планета — дисковый с гидроприводом или двухкулачковый с механическим приводом. Сборник документации содержит описание и характеристики основных узлов мотоциклов Jawa 350. Есть электрическая схема на jawa 350 638 640, книжка по мотоциклу, сборник советов при покупке и т.
