Riding a Dnepr MT-11

I just recently got this MT-11 running after it had sat for many years. The carbs need more work and much better balancing, but at least it's running.

[@dimanbelyakoff8591]

This motorcycle keeps memories about my grandfather. He never had a car but he owned 3 such dneprs at the same time.

Цокають клапана. Треба підтягнути зазор між рокером і клапаном до 0,1-0,2мм. Перестане стукати і буде менший розхід.

[@MsSerDjon]

Get those valves adjusted man, before they grind themselves to dust.

Nordic Oppozit, I actually had a broken valve adjuster that I discovered after this ride. ;)

nice ride! the blue light tells your headlight is high beam.

[@rekifps]

Been thinking about getting one myself. How's your experience been? MPG? Break downs? etc.

[@jbradleyhorn]

I’ve just gotten it going, so too soon to say on MPG and reliability. The bike is super basic with points, condenser, coil, carbs, drum brakes, etc. Parts are plentiful on eBay if you don’t mind the wait for things to reach you from Kiev. My only break down to date was a broken valve adjuster, which I think related directly to the missing intake valve cap on that cylinder. As far as fun factor, it gets looks EVERYWHERE it goes, so lots of fun. It’s definitely not fast, but tons of fun.

[@ronhendon6381]

Had one the duel carbs are trash and always leak gas it was cool when it ran but that was almost never and if you can work on a vintage duel carb motor forget finding someone that can. Happiest days were Day I bought it and day I sold it.

Lets just put it like this, dont buy one if you can not hold a spanner and use it.

[@jbradleyhorn]

Мой друг из Эстонии сказал мне, что у его отца был Днепр, и он ненавидел его. Он не мог никуда пойти без рук, покрытых маслом или жиром. My friend from Estonia told me that his father had the Dnieper and he hated it. He couldn't go anywhere without his hands covered in oil or grease.

Impressive how this modern motorcycle still sounds like it's old brother, the K 750.. I suspected it would sound like a modern day touring motorcycle

over the years I have had two MT-11s and a Ural, tricked one Denpr with all the wartime stuff and a dummy DP28 on a mount, enjoyed riding them and have one left that I just cant let go yet

[@ruinov_andrei]

maybe it's either from Germany, maybe from Russia or Belarus, but it's more likely that in Soviet times it was exported to Europe, and from there it got to the United States.

Hate to bother you but what year is this bike ? I got one in a trade and have been trying to figure out what year it is and this one looks just like mine … thanks Sam

[@jbradleyhorn]

No worries. All KMZ manufacturer records have been lost, and I know of no source that makes sense to the numbers on the engine or frame. At SovietSteeds.com, it was suggested that you pull off something like the rear taillight and look for a date stamp. Mine had a light made in 1995, so I think the bike was finished at the factory around that time. More pix: www.flickr.com/photos/43899092@N00/albums/72157712197580952

[@oppozitdrive6165]

[@tvr419]

Cool bike, how is the reliability?

[@jbradleyhorn]

Dneprs are basically like tractors. They are overbuilt and overall pretty simple machines. Mine still has a few oil leaks, but nothing serious. I struggled with mine for a long time until I figured out the coil was bad. Now mine has Ukraine Weber carbs, new jugs, and an oil-filled coil that normally is aftermarket for a Harley. Runs great. My dog loves it.

[@LaFouine916]

Pls how much Is It?? Pls

[@ruinov_andrei]

in russia you can buy one like this from $1,000 in average condition, possibly without documents, up to $2,000 with documents and minor defects, of course, you can even find one in good condition with documents for $900, but it's very difficult. Also, if you are from the USA, you will have to pay for its transportation, customs clearance, and other fuss with documents.

[@jbradleyhorn]

No. Broken valve adjuster.

[@georgelazenby2062]

i thougt you have too low oil pressure, because of the red light under your speedo

[@jbradleyhorn]

Mario Lazaratos No. That is the alternator light. It stays on. Typical for this bike.

[@bervas01]

@@jbradleyhorn There are wiring diagrams that have false notations on the alternator pins. Once you remove the alternator endcap and the fan, you see which pin is the excitation, which is the charge and which goes to the charge light.

[@TroyaE117]

Where did you get that speedometer?

[@jbradleyhorn]

It’s the stock speedo on a Dnepr.

[@TroyaE117]

@@jbradleyhorn : Brad, it is not original equipment. The original Dnepr speedo is very different.

[@jbradleyhorn]

TroyaE117, it’s hard to say. My bike was assembled in Colorado in 2012. We believe it was a “Yuri” bike - a bike made up of old parts that was sold on eBay as a kit. The speedo is an 85mm, just like the Ural one. In fact, I bought a Ural KPH/MPH speedo to replace this one with. Thereafter, I also bought a K750 headlight bucket and speedo, which has the 80mm speedo in it. Because my current speedos don’t fit, both will go back up for sale on eBay in the end. My plan for this bike is to bring it as close to the look of the original BMW R71 as I can, including an R71 replica tank, K750 headlight, and low front fender from a CJ750 along with a front fender license plate matching Steve McQueen’s plate number in The Great Escape. :).

[@arnasleseta2890]

This is newer dnepr, and newer dneprs had these speedometers. Older ones were different.

@@arnasleseta2890 : Amas : that Dnepr is a hybrid. It is assembled from a parts bin. It is not an MT11.

Yes. It always is. :) My understanding is that this version of the Dnepr had this flaw. However, the oil pressure is good. I've now done away with this headlight and warning light setup: www.flickr.com/photos/43899092@N00/albums/72157712197580952
