In 2014, the manufacturer Irbis Motors pleased many snowmobile enthusiasts with a new, improved model, namely the Dingo T125. It uses a tracked drive with front-mounted drive sprockets. Thanks to the ability to disassemble the snowmobile, it can easily be placed in the trunk of a car, which eliminates the need to use special trailers to transport the snowmobile to the location. Unlike its predecessors, which required tightening screws and nuts to assemble or disassemble the machine, this model uses a fastening design similar to folding bicycles. This provided not only convenience and ease of assembly/disassembly, but also saves time, since the entire process takes only 10 minutes.
The oil cooler prevents overheating of the power plant. The engine is started using an electric starter, which is also quite convenient. The modified model of the snowmobile has tracks with increased lugs, wider skis, an informative instrument panel, a cigarette lighter, heated steering grips and throttle trigger, an increased comfort seat, a windshield and a spacious trunk under the seat located under the seat. It is worth noting that all these attributes are usually found on equipment in a more expensive price segment. The design of the snowmobile provides a special towing device with which you can drag the sled behind you. There is also a rubber mudguard, and a frost-resistant helium battery that does not lose its properties even at very low ambient temperatures.

The Dingo T125 snowmobile was developed by Russian specialists, which made it possible to adapt the vehicle specifically for rather harsh operating conditions. This model was developed on the basis of its predecessor, namely the Dingo T110. The engine displacement was increased to 1,250 liters, which added the power that was missing in the previous model. Thanks to this, increased cross-country ability of the snowmobile was ensured.
This snowmobile has the following key features:
- The machine comes with an electric starter and a frost-resistant gel battery.
- In addition to starting the engine with an electric starter, manual starting is also provided.
- High reliability of automatic clutch in an oil bath, which has proven itself in comparison with power units of walk-behind tractors.
- There is a reverse function, which is very useful when making turns in tight spaces. This will also help you get out if your snowmobile gets stuck in the snow.
- If the snowmobile gets stuck, the lightweight design allows you to pull it out yourself.

And again about oil. In the so-called “manual” it is written that 10w40 SF class oil was filled from the factory. And the same is recommended for replacement))))) But. This is a masolo of the last century that was used in VAZ kopendos. So should I pour Livi Moth 0w40 or not?

I drew a schematic diagram, I’ll say right away that the wires may not match much, I didn’t draw almost any striped wires, I quickly drew the white ones blue or gray. But the essence of the connection is clear. I didn't draw the speed sensor. The generator has two independent windings, one for powering the power circuit (headlight, etc.), and the second part is powering the switch. Thus, the spark is completely independent of the headlight, battery charging, etc. Therefore, the engine will work and start even without a battery (from the pusher). It is only necessary that the muffling wire (black and white striped) is not shorted to ground (this is how the engine is muffled both from the key and the button on the remote control). The ignition winding is on a separate core with a thin wire, the resistance is about 450-500 ohms. One end of the ground winding, the other goes to the commutator. The power part is represented by a winding with a tap, a thick wire on a separate core. One end of the winding is on ground, nth number of turns, tap (yellow wire), then a certain number of turns and the output is a white wire. The white wire goes only to the voltage regulator; through it, the voltage is regulated by short-circuiting this part of the winding (shunting). The yellow wire goes to the regulator and then to AC consumers (headlights, parking lights). The voltage regulator also contains a diode, it rectifies the already stabilized voltage to charge the battery (red wire)

Disassembly process
First you need to turn off all electronic systems and the rear light under the seat. Next, unscrew the screws that secure the chair frame and plastic. After the fastening wing on the plastic is unscrewed, it is necessary to bend and remove this element of the power unit block. By unscrewing the bolts securing the seat frame, you can pull it out. Then the chain casing is detached, for which it is necessary to loosen the tensioner. The screws are unscrewed on both sides, ensuring the connection between the motor unit and the Dingo T 125 track base - then you can remove the luggage compartment. The tracked block should be pulled out smoothly, guided by the guides. At this stage of disassembly, the all-terrain vehicle was divided into two parts. On one of them the steering wheel is unscrewed - it should be placed on the gas tank. Now you can begin to remove the front suspension, which is also unscrewed with bolts. The steering shaft must be pulled towards itself, which will allow the suspension to be completely removed. At the last stage, the skis are removed. Assembly is carried out in a similar way, but in reverse order.
Engine
The Dingo T125 snowmobile is equipped with an oil-cooled four-stroke petrol engine. The block contains only one cylinder, the working volume of which is 125 cubic milliliters. The nominal crankshaft speed is 7500 rpm. Upon reaching the same mark, the rated output power is 5.2 kilowatts, which translates to 7.07 horsepower. A single-carburetor power system is used. Fuel consumption for every hundred kilometers is at least 1.5 liters of gasoline. The gasoline poured must be at least AI-92.
Information on the instrument panel
Modern snowmobiles are equipped with functional instrument panels, which display the entire list of operational parameters necessary for the user. The domestic snowmobile “Dingo 125” was no exception and demonstrates a full range of indicators about the state of the equipment, including:
- Mode setting button – changes the data display characteristics.
- Panel mode settings button – you can use it to change the display format.
- Watch.
- Speedometer – displays the speed of the snowmobile.
- Temperature indicator.
- Tachometer – displays the number of crankshaft revolutions.
- Gear indicators.
- Engine overheat indicator - the lamp is activated if the temperature of the power unit has reached 2,300 °C.
- Odometer.
It is important to note the ease of use of the dashboard - many settings for formats for providing information make the Dingo 125 model easy to use and practical.
Price
Currently, you can purchase a Dingo T125 snowmobile at a cost ranging from 75 thousand rubles to 98 thousand Russian rubles. The car is very inexpensive, and even on the contrary, cheap, especially with all the capabilities of the snowmobile. The cost varies depending on the year of production and configuration.
A used snowmobile has a cost ranging from 48 thousand rubles to 70 thousand Russian rubles. The main factors influencing the cost of this option are the year of production, equipment, general technical condition and mileage.
Maintenance
In general, snowmobile maintenance activities come down to checking three components: oil condition, track tension and carburetor parameters. Of course, there are other characteristics that require regular inspection, but the Irbis snow all-terrain vehicle is the most sensitive to the described elements.
The oil needs to be checked before every trip. If necessary, it should be updated with a composition labeled 10W30SF. The tracks are adjusted by tensioners - in particular, it is necessary to inspect and adjust the fixation nuts. The idle speed of the Dingo 125 is adjusted only when the engine is warm. The power unit must be started and allowed to idle for about 10 minutes. With the engine running, turn the special tuning screw, decreasing or increasing the number of crankshaft revolutions.
Owner reviews
The Dingo T125 snowmobile has a lot of different reviews:
- I have already ridden this snowmobile for more than 800 kilometers, and during this entire run there have been no breakdowns. The only thing I had to do after the purchase was tighten all the nuts, because they were too loosely tightened. It was as if they were tightened by hand. Otherwise, I really liked the snowmobile; of course, it is not intended for transporting heavy loads, but for fishing and simple rides it is quite an ideal option. I was also pleased with the simple and quick assembly and the ability to transport it directly in the trunk of a car. Handling and maneuverability are also excellent.
- I recently purchased Dingo T125 and it exceeded all my expectations. Being an avid fisherman, I would definitely get one for several reasons. Firstly, it actually fits in a passenger car, which means that you don’t need to buy an expensive trailer, which needs to be stored somewhere else. Secondly, there is no need to build a separate garage for this snowmobile. Winter is over, disassemble the snowmobile, put it in the corner of the garage or shed and wait for new snow. Thirdly, I liked how it drives and how much it can carry. Fourthly, the price is reasonable, at least it cost me 68,000 rubles. Fifthly, the versatility of spare parts: steering rods, shock absorbers, brake pads and other elements fit almost any Chinese scooter and cost pennies.
- I bought a Dingo T125 snowmobile for hunting and fishing trips. I bought it in the summer of 2015, when it was in less demand than other models. Due to this, the cost was quite low. Personally, it cost me 62 thousand Russian rubles. This snowmobile is not intended for driving at high speeds, however, in order to go to a village in winter and drag some cargo weighing 130-150 kilograms there on a drag sled, it is ideal. I use it mainly as a workhorse, but sometimes I just ride. The design allows the snowmobile to be disassembled, but I still have it assembled as it was, since there are some difficulties with this, and besides, I have a car trailer in stock. I really liked the snowmobile in terms of handling and simplicity.
- After running in the snowmobile, I drove it across the expanses of the fields of the Volokolamsk region. Snow depth ranges from 50 centimeters to 70 centimeters on flat surfaces. Driving on powder (virgin soil) alone is no problem at all. Confident acceleration and movement. It’s already harder for him to pull with two people; in third gear he doesn’t accelerate at all. But on the second it confidently continues to drag at speeds of up to 17 kilometers per hour. The only time, on a ravine where there was a lot of snow and I had to go uphill, I skidded a little. I took off the passenger and drove out into a swing left and right. And along the trail or knurled trail it drags two on top + a skier in tow at speeds of up to 27 kilometers per hour. Using a sled you can easily carry four people. The only thing I changed was the battery. The one that was included did not last long. In general, the snowmobile is very pleasing.
Management Rules
Before you start riding, you must place your feet on the special footrests of the snowmobile and place your hands on the controls. Next, you should start the engine and let it warm up. Then you need to press the brake and move the transmission to first position. The brakes are released and the throttle lever is pressed with your finger. The speed mode in the Irbis Dingo 125 is adjusted by manipulating the transmission lever - it must be set to the position corresponding to the required driving mode. During the first race, you should move slowly, preferably on level ground.
To make turns or turns, it is necessary to simply turn the Dingo 125 steering wheel in the appropriate directions, but at the same time it is important to tilt the body deeper into the turn itself, shifting the body weight towards the outer step of the all-terrain vehicle.
Possible malfunctions and repairs
The main problems in the operation of a snowmobile that are not related to physical damage to the outside can be reduced to problems with the engine and brake system. In the first case, malfunctions of the starter, malfunctions in the fuel line, and in the infrastructure of electrodes and spark plugs are likely. In addition, battery problems are common. Identification of a specific problem is only possible after a thorough inspection of the Dingo 125. Spare parts for the engine block are available at dealerships, so replacement should not be difficult. Unsatisfactory performance of the brake system, as a rule, requires replacing the pads or the entire disc mechanism, but only if there are obvious errors in the function. In other cases, it is enough to blow out the brake tracks to remove air.
