Literally a few years ago very populara means of transportation became ATVs. This type of transport surprisingly successfully combines the best features of a motorcycle and a tractor. In this regard, its popularity is growing every day. Especially popular are ATVs for young people and farmers who love extreme sports. This is explained by the fact that they have a high landing and are able to successfully move through rough terrain.
Many motorists have already for a long timeyears in the garages is the old "Oka", a car-veteran of Russian roads. Taking into account the fact that every second Russian man possesses golden hands and an uncommon smartness, an ATV-based ATV is not so difficult to make without spending a lot of money. The basis for creating a new vehicle will be the faithful "Oka", which served the hosts faithfully for decades.
The first and main advantage of self-madeMotobike before the branded at the factory - efficiency. After all, almost all the spare parts from the old "Oka" in the garage will be used, and new ones will not be needed very much. In addition, the homemade ATV has a smaller mass (not more than three hundred kilograms), rather than factory, but with greater draft power. And, of course, an important factor in choosing between them is that homemade ATVs based on the "Oka" necessarily have some specific characteristics that convey the individuality and character of the owner, the so-called charisma.
First of all, it is necessary to study the drawings of professional designers to understand how to make a self-made quad bike with their own hands from the "Oka".
As you know, the heart of any transportmeans is the engine. And the best version of the engine for a self-made ATV from the "Oka" will be a two-cylinder or three-cylinder carburetor. You can also use your own motor in 35 hp. or 53 hp depending on the purposes and conditions of the subsequent operation of the finished vehicle. Quads with an engine from the Oka, of course, will be less powerful than with a motorcycle engine, but more economical.
After installing the engine, a jack of all tradesmust be taken for a silencer, which must have at least two sections. An important "gadget" in the construction of the ATV is a resonator that will allow you to feel yourself as a professional rider during the ride, to enjoy the roaring engine of the engine.
Shock absorbers and quad bikes will also getfrom the "Oka", with their help the wheels are attached to the frame and the level of load on the supporting elements is reduced. As for the wheels, the first thing to be done is measures to expand their working space, that is, to expand or completely cut off the fenders. Depending on the purposes of using the ATV, the Oka wheels can be replaced with trailer wheels in order to increase the level of patency.
The next item for assembling a self-made pet is the installation of a fuel tank, it should be located in the luggage compartment for proper weight distribution.
Brake installation - second after selectionengine responsible moment, which, collecting the ATV with their own hands from the "Oka", should be given special attention. Saving on any of the elements of this system can result in irreparable consequences, even fatal, so all the details must be extremely new and of high quality. As a rule, motorcycle brakes are used as brakes for the ATV, because they are ideal for a future vehicle in size. Usually, the control of the ATV braking system is output upward to the steering wheel, so that it is as comfortable and accessible as possible. As for the helm, it can either be left the same from the "Oka", or replaced with a motorcycle. The main thing is to secure the steering rods firmly and qualitatively, to install the headlights and the signal.
Creating self-made quadrocycles from the "Oka"designers necessarily take into account that the future vehicle should ideally be suitable for operation in all weather conditions irrespective of the climate and the pores of the year, therefore it must have side lights and fog lights. Completing the creation of a quad bike by one's own hands from the "Oka", it is necessary to deal with the lining of the body with metal and subsequent painting. It is necessary to check the metal sheets for the absence of "beetles", to clean and zaryhtovat places where they are available. Staining should only be done on a clean, dry, non-greasy material, otherwise the dried paint will swell and quickly fall off.
