The domestic Dnepr MT 10-36 motorcycle belongs to the class of heavy two-wheeled vehicles. The unit is operated mainly with a sidecar. The purpose of the motorcycle is to transport a driver with two passengers or cargo weighing no more than 250 kg. The car moves well on asphalt and dirt road. The gearbox is equipped with a reverse function. Consider the characteristics and features of this technique.
Description
Externally, the Dnieper MT 10-36 differs from its predecessors by levers with ball tips, union nuts on the exhaust pipes, and a passenger reclining footrest. In 1976, the manufacturer (a motorcycle factory in Kiev) carried out an improvement on the MT 10 series motorcycle. As a result, the power of the power unit increased to 36 “horses”, as well as some components in the part of the crew structure were transformed.
This model received the designation "Dnieper" MT 10-36. The main modernization work is focused on GOST standards in terms of improving safety and reducing external noise. The main device guaranteeing safe movement is the brake unit, which has undergone a radical alteration on the front wheel. Now there is a pair of blocks, each of which is activated using an individual cam, master and driven levers.
Features
At Dnipro MT 10-36, the gaps between the lock pads and the brake drum are adjusted as they wear. The process is carried out by tensioning the cable with a fitting and then turning the cams on the axis. A similar design on heavy bikes was applied for the first time. The advantage of this brake is the ability to mount on any of the previous versions of the motorcycle. Also, the front brake of this type can play the role of a parking stop. To do this, simply press the brake lever on the steering wheel and fix it with a special button latch.
The brake element and clutch levers end with spherical knobs with a diameter of 2 cm. They serve to prevent possible injuries. From the end, the front “mudguard” is flanged, the passenger footboards recline up and back at an angle of 45 degrees. As an anti-theft device, a lock is used that locks the steering wheel in the column.
Security
MT 10-36 "Dnepr" is safer in terms of fire fighting equipment. This was made possible thanks to the clamps on the gas hoses. They prevent pipelines from jumping off and sparks. To reduce noise, a new atmospheric filter element and a more efficient silencer are used. This element is also interchangeable with analogues of other models. Only then is it necessary to install a new nozzle (180 cc / min instead of 200 cc / min). This design significantly reduces the noise of the exhaust gases and eliminates the ingress of fuel on hot parts.
The external diameter of the muffler increased to 86 mm, and increased 1.6 times in volume. The exhaust pipes and the internal configuration of the element were transformed. The nozzles on the cylinder are now fixed with union nuts, rather than clamps. This provides a more tight connection, contributes to the removal of a significant part of the heat. After these improvements, the noise of the unit decreased by 10 dB.
Other parameters
Updated spare parts for MT 10-36 Dnipro are marked in the following list:
- A battery ignition system is provided.
- The dry clutch assembly is equipped with two discs.
- The stroller is equipped with a lever suspension with spring-type hydraulic shock absorbers.
- On the motorcycle itself, a telescopic fork with hydraulics and springs is installed in front.
- The rear wheel is equipped with a pendulum suspension with hydraulic spring cushioning elements.
- Tire sizes - 3,75 / 19.
A significant design innovation was the lack of the need for an oil change. It is simply refilled regularly, lubricating the internal components of the power unit and its associated elements. This enhances the protection of the main parts from corrosion and wear.
Electrical equipment
Below is the electrical diagram of the Dnieper MT 10-36. Features of motorcycle electrical equipment are the use of high-tech wires with the function of self-oxidation and self-shorting. They have low conductivity and are equipped with self-destructive type insulation. This allows you to compare the spark advance ignition with the clock speed of the crankshaft. As a result, some devices were excluded from the circuit as they were not needed.

Helpful information
Many lovers of two-wheeled “iron horses” do not know for sure why oil is poured into the suspension, assuming that it adds amortization characteristics to it. In fact, the oil eliminates the rattle of metal grinding sand, which is characteristic of this class of technology. The lack of rigidity in the nodes of the device is compensated by the stability of the rear shock absorbers. Similar elements can be compared with analogues for tanks of the Second World War.
