Repairs and breakdowns

Major malfunctions and ways to eliminate them:

1. If the engine does not start, it is necessary to disconnect the ends of the fuel pipe and purge the system, flush all filter elements, clean the prompting hole, and replace the gasoline.
2. If there is no spark on the spark plug electrodes, check the mechanism for damage and defects, clean the spark plugs from carbon deposits, adjust the gap.
3. If there is an open circuit in the transmission, it is recommended to replace the chain mechanism, for this you will need to remove the track.
4. If the gearbox turns off while driving, the entire mechanism should be disassembled, the spring and other worn parts should be replaced.
5. If oil leaks from the gearbox, it is necessary to adjust the cuffs and replace damaged and worn parts.
6. If the snowmobile is not delivering full power, it is recommended that the track belt tension and centering be adjusted.
7. Replace the shaft seals if leaks occur.

Criterias of choice

To choose the right Irbis snowmobile, you need to consider for what purpose you are going to purchase such equipment. The thing is that each model has a different price. For example, the SF150L and Tungus 400 are the cheapest, while the Tungus 600L is the most expensive. Naturally, there is a difference in the characteristics.

Based on the review of the models, it becomes clear that the more expensive the equipment, the more powerful it is. Therefore, if you are going to purchase a snowmobile for fun and not put a heavy load on it, then you do not need to have more power, you will simply overpay for it.

See below for a comparison of the different models.

Modernization of the Buran structure in the IRBIS K-2 / K-2E snowmobile

Compared with the traditional model - "1 ski + 2 tracks" - a modernized short frame body, a wide double seat, open central and side trusses in the undercarriage of the snowmobile, which contributes to the self-cleaning of the undercarriage from ice, snow and visually allows you to inspect the technical condition of the undercarriage parts. This design feature of the frame body has received great recognition among fishermen who operate their snowmobiles in winter thaw and in the spring thaw of reservoirs. The total track area on a short base provides minimal surface pressure (snow, soil), and the presence of one ski allows you to easily maneuver among bushes, trees and other obstacles.

Components

Today it is not difficult to select additional elements on the market, in particular, oil and most other accessories. The technique will stay in good condition for longer with these types of accessories.

Tilters are one of the best quality devices with which the Yamaha Ventura snowmobile can be easily moved without much difficulty.

Selection recommendations

In order to choose the right caterpillar, first you need to clearly determine its size.

Important dimensions will be the length, width, as well as the step (the step is called the distance between two adjacent windows) and the level of the lug height.

So, the length, width, step must necessarily be similar to the "old" caterpillars.

There are, of course, a large number of different kinds of descriptions of how you can remake tracks for a snowmobile, but at the moment we are not considering this option.

Track length, width and pitch can be easily measured.

But the lug should be chosen based on the operating conditions of the snowmobile, as well as on your wishes.

An important characteristic of any snowmobile track is its lug height. It is strictly individual for each of the snowmobiles.

If the snowmobile is low-powered (its power is less than 50 hp), then it is not recommended to install a caterpillar with a lug higher than 40 mm, due to the possible excessive load on the engine. It may well just not "pull".

For a snowmobile less than 69 horsepower, the optimum height should be 29.5 mm.

If you are the proud owner of a powerful snowmobile, then your choice should not be limited only by the engine parameters, however, it may be limited by the suspension parameters, namely, the size of the tunnel in the suspension.

This parameter must be measured even before purchasing the tracks, otherwise you will have to make a number of alterations already in the suspension structure itself.

At the time of choosing a track for a snowmobile, one should be guided by the rule: the greater the height of the lug, the greater the level of cross-country ability of the snowmobile on snow, especially deep snow.

However, it is important not to overdo it here.

And now you need to figure out for what kind of snow the optimal lug height is needed.

When planning to ride on wet and hard snow, ice or loose snow, the height of the hook should be as low as possible.

The lug for these conditions should be as “flat” as possible.

Then there will be no breakdown of the top layer of the crust, jerks, and therefore the snowmobile will easily "run" even in the deepest snow.

The same recommendation is for rolled snow, but since there are almost no snowmobile tracks in the Russian Federation, you should not dwell on this point.

If you plan to ride on loose or deep snow, then the lug should be chosen higher: from 32.5 to 39.5 mm. (if the snowmobile allows this height to be set).

In this case, attention should be paid to the shape of the lug. To "write out" a turn, to enter a turn sharply, you need a reinforced lug edge .. At the same time, a negative angle of inclination of the lug can add stability

The more active the type of riding you prefer, the more aggressive profiles you need to choose.

However, a negative lug angle can add stability. The more active the type of riding you prefer, the more aggressive profiles you need to choose.

The lug with a different height element is suitable for extreme types of driving. In this case, hook blocks of different heights will work with different types of load, which will allow you not to lose controllability in a difficult environment.

Snowmobile track with hook over 49.5 mm. is already mountainous. So, the profiles of these tracks are designed for sharp ascent and descent.

It is not recommended to use it under normal conditions as the deep snow performance of the snowmobile will deteriorate significantly (the snowmobile will burrow).

The pattern of such caterpillars must necessarily resemble a lot of blades, since the main task is to "crash" and push off the snow on sloping terrain.

That's all the recommendations. You just have to choose.

Polaris Waidtrack

This model is considered the most popular among utilitarian representatives. The fame is due to the reliability of the design and high build quality. Among the advantages, they also note the confident start of the motor, which is able to work effectively at critically low temperatures.

Yamaha Ventura rating

This model is a competitor to the popular SkyDoo snowmobiles, which are rightfully the leaders in this category of vehicles. When considering the ACE900 Expedition touring model, it can be noted that the 2015 Ventura has a smaller, but not as powerful 4-stroke power unit, which is highly reliable. This engine has such features: slow start, high performance at low rpm, low noise level. The motor is mounted on utilitarian, sports and touring Phazer RTX models.

You won't have to wait for a lot of power from such a device, but the Ventura can accelerate a heavy snowmobile with 2 people and a heavy load to normal speeds. The Ventura has a center of gravity that is balanced by a low engine location. This feature gives the motor stability when maneuvering.

The 114-inch Camoplast Ripsaw track is driven by a 2-cylinder injection engine. The height of the ridges is 32 mm, and the width of the HUS is 406. These dimensions provide good cross-country ability and a high degree of convenience.

Selection Tips

In order to correctly select tracks for snowmobile machines, first of all, it is necessary to clearly define the features of the operation of the equipment.

It is necessary to purchase new tracks in such a way that their dimensions, as well as the step indicators, correspond to the old tracks.But the lugs are selected based on the conditions for using the snowmobile, as well as taking into account the user's preferences.

When choosing the optimal model, one should proceed from the rule: the higher the lugs, the better the vehicle's cross-country ability on snow, especially deep and loose snow.

However, it is important not to overdo it - for each machine, the parameter is calculated strictly individually. So, machines with a capacity not exceeding 40 liters

with., there will be enough lug with a height within 20 mm. If the power of the equipment is about 60 liters. with. - a suitable hook height would be 25 mm. It is not recommended to use tracks in excess of these parameters, since this places an additional load on the motor, which the equipment may not be able to cope with.

The device in such an environment should be extremely flat - only in this case it is possible to avoid cutting the top layer of the snow crust and minimize jerks. Accordingly, the car will move easily even on a fairly deep snow cover. The same recommendation applies to packed snow. If you are going to travel in very deep or loose snow, it is best to stay on higher lugs.

The selection of the shape of the toe deserves special attention. In order to safely write out movements and successfully enter turns, models with effort are required. At the same time, a negative tilt angle can add stability to the technique, and if you plan to ride on slopes, then you should take a closer look at models with the most aggressive terrain. Lugs with different height details are optimal for extreme driving style, in this situation, lug modules with different heights will function at different stages of loading - this will allow the operator to increase controllability even in the most difficult situations.

A caterpillar with hooks higher than 49 mm belongs to mountain models - such profiles are designed to perform sharp ascents and descents.

The main thing is to remember that there are no miracles, and the quality of the product, as well as its durability, will greatly depend on the price.

Tuning

Tuning Buran 4TD involves the improvement of the main units and mechanisms. You can additionally install attachments, which will not only increase some of the technical indicators of the vehicle, but also help to increase the service life.

Tuning makes it possible to protect the suspension and transmission from premature wear.

Improving the motor will allow the vehicle to run even at low ambient temperatures. If you install heated grips and seat heating, you can increase the walking time in cold weather.

In order to use transport in areas with a lot of snow, it is recommended to install an extended ski model.

Installing a roof rack helps to increase safety in the event of a collision with any obstacle or when a vehicle rolls over.

The steering rack will help mitigate the shock of accidental collisions, and the addition of additional rear-view mirrors will help to widen the field of view.

Operation history

The first was Lynx 113. The car turned out to be frankly weak. To make it easier, the engine was made of aluminum with a silicon coating. The cylinders could not withstand overloads and the snowmobile stopped with a jammed engine.

The Lynx 119 model received many improvements as a result of the unsuccessful operation of the 113.

Cast iron sleeves were pressed into the engine and the air intake windows were expanded for blowing the engine, which extended the service life.

The bottom of the engine compartment has been redesigned. The brittle fiberglass has been replaced with plastic.

"Lynx-Sport" 121 is a shortened version of the 119 model, which increased the maneuverability of the snowmobile and made it possible not only to travel, but also to compete.

The Lynx-500 is a versatile snowmobile that has become the most successful modification. He received a wide track, which increased the cross-country ability. Ideal for business trips. During operation, the snowmobile was tested in the harsh conditions of the Russian North, Western Siberia and Yakutia. The device pleased me with good cross-country ability even in deep and loose snow. The car turned out to be fast and maneuverable. Easy to start up and operate at -40 ° C.

Lynx 500M - has a modified hood and Mikuni VM 34-622 single-chamber carburetor.

Lynx 500PM is already a gear box of speeds.

Service

It is easier to change the oil if the car has small luggage compartments for storing various things that will be needed on the road. Only reliable material is used to create these accessories. The pads should help protect the skis from any deformations. The duration of the operation of the motor always depends on the size of the variator belts.

A snowmobile can quickly become unusable if you underestimate the importance of using such accessories.

Maintenance and storage:

1. It is not necessary to leave the snowmobile on the side for an extended period. Fuel may come out of the hose.
2. Modifications made without specialist supervision could render the snowmobile unsafe to operate, resulting in personal injury.
3. Do not store a snowmobile with fuel in the tank in a room where there are sources of fire, for example, water heaters, heating appliances, flames, sparks, drying agents. Allow the engine to cool before starting storage.
4. It is recommended to use the information that is indicated in the "Storage" category of the instruction manual.
5. Check the status of the safety tables.

There are types of maintenance that need to be considered before starting operation: daily, after running in, periodic. When carrying out those. maintenance, you need to eliminate all faults.

Perform daily maintenance on the snowmobile, the main purpose of which is to prevent the defective snowmobile from leaving.

For long-term engine operation and increase in service life, experts recommend choosing the right oil. You can install spare parts on the car that are similar in their performance characteristics, can be serviced and adjusted in the garage or salon, which has a large list of all the necessary components for replacing defective parts.

Peculiarities

To begin with, it is worth considering the features of this brand.

Domestic production. All products from start to finish are assembled at a plant in Vladivostok, which means focus on the local consumer and the natural conditions of Russia. It is worth mentioning the simplicity of snowmobiles, so you will not have any problems with fixing them.

High level of feedback

Due to the focus on the domestic market, the manufacturer pays attention to the wishes of consumers. Each new model combines not only innovations created by technologists and engineers, but also a number of improvements that have become possible thanks to the presence of real people's feedback.

A large number of dealerships

There are more than 2000 of them, so you can buy snowmobiles or get competent information assistance in many regions of Russia.

Possibility to purchase accessories. IRBIS manufactures some of the component parts that you can purchase.

Varieties

Snowmobile tracks can be simple or studded, specialized and versatile, short or long.

Design

The design features of the tracks may vary depending on the purpose of the machine itself.

For example, sports snowmobiles are usually equipped with two types of tracks: for asphalt or for a snow track. In both cases, sports-type products are narrow and shortened - this allows for maximum maneuverability and good vehicle handling. Sport models have a lug height of less than 0.75 inches.

For touring vehicles, caterpillars are usually used that can provide the most effective ratio of speed, comfort, as well as flotation and controllability. That is why such models have average lengths. The lug heights range from 1.25 to 2.25 inches - the choice of a specific model depends on the conditions in which you plan to use the snowmobile. For rough terrain on loose snow, it is best to use lugs 1.75-2.25 inches high. In all other cases, it will be enough to install low devices.

Utility snowmobiles have special design parameters. The fact is that the purpose of such equipment is the transportation of heavy and oversized cargo through forest and difficult terrain, which is why the tracks for such machines should provide the maximum possible cross-country ability.They are equipped with elongated tracks, and the width of such devices is maximum (more than 20 inches) - this feature allows you to give the snowmobile minimum pressure on the ground, the car starts off confidently, without burying it in the snow. These models have lug heights ranging from 1.5 to 2.25 inches.

Mountain models are equipped with rather specific tracks - they are very long and narrow. This makes it possible to achieve maximum cross-country ability, and in addition, the risk of overturns when driving on an inclined road is significantly reduced. The main feature of mountain tracks is the special lug design, which reaches 3 inches in height.

The number of rows of caterpillars deserves special attention. The most widespread are models with 4,6 and 8 caterpillars, while the more their number, the higher the throughput of the equipment.

Materials (edit)

For the manufacture of tracks, rubber or composite materials are used. Most often, soft rubber is used - it has many advantages. She has a "good memory", which means that she is able to regain shape. Rubber tends to resist mechanical damage (various impacts and hidden obstacles), they are often found when driving over rough terrain and mountain slopes. Soft rubber is more likely to bend rather than break.

At high speed, the soft rubber lugs fold up - this allows you to create a solid support that compacts the snow under the machine, thereby achieving maximum buoyancy and a lift that pushes the machine out of the snow. This characteristic is especially relevant when traveling in deep, dry and soft snow.

But for moving on packed snow, it is better to use models made of harder rubber, this makes the movement as safe as possible.

Engagement types

Even if the user plans to drive on fluffy snow, it is possible that he will encounter areas of compacted snow on the track, as well as the car may find himself in areas of fluffy dry snow, preparing to move along the crust. That is why you have to find a compromise between hard rubber and the shape of the lugs.

The most efficient models of tracks are equipped with fingers, that is, they have lugs in the form of cylinders - this design allows for movement on loose snow, as well as maximum grip on solid ground.
