One of the best ways to upgrade a motorcycle is tuning. Java 350 is no exception. Some owners want to give the vehicle a sporty feel, others choose a more practical approach. As a result, the bike becomes faster, lighter and more maneuverable. Consider the nodes that are most often restyled.
Sports modification
The operational parameters of the Czech motorcycle are relevant now, but the design design leaves much to be desired. How to carry out sports tuning? Java in this matter is most easily modernized by installing parts from Kawasaki or Yamaha racing bikes. From the first model, wings are suitable, and the second option is a good donor of brakes, front forks, shock absorbers, pendulum and wheels.
The pendulum element for mounting into the socket of the motorcycle in question should be narrowed by replacing the standard bearings with needle pivot elements from the Volga. The changes made give the vehicle better handling, stability and maneuverability. The body kit can be carried out independently or in a specialized workshop. When doing work at home, you need to be careful, as well as stock up on fiberglass or plastic.
Benefits
Many motorcyclists attribute the excessively light frontal part to the main disadvantages of Java. In this regard, achieving a total reduction in mass, a counterweight is installed in front. Mounting disc brakes, alloy wheels, a more wear-resistant chain is also sports tuning. At the same time, Java 350 acquires the characteristics characteristic of cross-country motorcycles, namely:
- increase in speed;
- fast acceleration;
- improved handling;
- security;
- beautiful exterior and convenience.
Sports restyling is the most common type of modernization in relation to the Czech motorcycle, due to its technical features.
Engine Tuning (Java 350)
First of all, motorcycle owners are trying to improve the speed parameters of the car. It is worth noting that the installation of a five-speed gearbox does not always give the expected result. Its installation is justified only in case of modernization of the motor and chassis.
Forcing the power unit provides an increase in top speed during acceleration. However, there are several nuances here. Such an alteration of the engine involves increased fuel consumption and heating of the working parts involved in the start-up process. In addition, the boring of the cylinders helps to reduce the thickness of their walls. This leads to increased heat transfer, reduced compression and possible wedging.
Motorcycle "Java", the tuning of which can be performed in several ways, in the case of cylinder boring, must be equipped with additional liquid or forced cooling in the part of the shirts and heads of the unit being upgraded. It is also necessary to adjust the carburetor. It is possible to reduce fuel consumption and vibration by installing electronic “VAZ” ignition.
What else can be improved?
Some owners are improving the exhaust system of the Java motorcycle. Tuning, the photo of which is presented below, is performed by installing direct exhaust pipes from the silencers of VAZ cars. The tube leading to the motor is cut off fifty millimeters from the muffler itself, and the outer part is bent at a certain angle. To connect to the elbow, the pipe is notched and securely fit. Previously, body clamps are welded into the direct exhaust pipe, and a footboard is installed on the bike.
Additional aggressiveness and presentability to the two-wheeled unit adds a tachometer taken from a VAZ-2106 car. It is connected identically to the connection diagram in the car. To install a new starter on Java, you will need to replace the flywheel, install an additional body mount and a reinforced battery.
A good innovation will be a change in the backlight of the motorcycle. You can choose the LEDs in common with the unit color or play in contrast. The lighting of the rims, exhaust pipe, motor and other main components of the device will look original.
Java: DIY tuning
For an example, consider how to independently make a direct-flow pipe for a motorcycle. It will give originality, and also make the sound of the motor more growling. To work, you will need:
- steel sheet 0.8 mm thick;
- standard exhaust pipes from modifications with the 638 motor;
- scissors for metal;
- "Bulgarian";
- hammer;
- welding unit.
The dimensions of the new element are calculated so that the cone-shaped rear is placed opposite the shock absorber latches. This advice is relevant if the pendulum has not been replaced and the frame is extended. The direct exhaust silencer is made of a metal sheet in a conical shape. The working parts of the new part go into cylindrical tanks filled with mineral wool.
Improvement of the power unit of a motorcycle is appropriate to carry out independently if there is experience in various machines. For modernization, dismantling and complete disassembly of the motor will be required. In addition, it is necessary to replace the worn parts of the gearbox and gearbox, otherwise there will be no practical sense from the alteration. After that, you can begin to bore the cylinders, pre-polished inlet, outlet and purge valves.
In conclusion
To improve the characteristics of their two-wheeled “iron horse” and give it a second life, many owners use tuning. "Java 350" is a very decent motorcycle, but it does not reach modern models in design and parameters. Modernization allows you to make cardinal changes in the design, resulting in a car, the owner of which will be envied by everyone around.
It is quite possible to make a remake of the equipment with your own hands. Properly performed restyling will not only allow you to transform the motorcycle, but also make it a unique bike. The main thing is to stock up with the necessary materials, theoretical knowledge and patience.
