Since the Ural weighs 700 lb. empty with the attached sidecar, has a large frontal area and is powered by an old fashioned 745cc engine, it is not a fast motorcycle. The Ural Tourists’ top speed is 65 mph with a cruising speedsof 55 mph but only after faithful adherence to the break-in period.

Chapter 3 ENGINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PRE-TRIP PRELIMINARIES Before each trip, attend to all the requirements of the everyday maintenance as outlined in this manual. When adding fuel and oil to the motorcycle, take all precautions to keep everything neat and clean.
Page 20
Depending on the engine and ambient temperature, use the carburetor enricheners and starting procedure as follows: Manual Starting (without electric starter) 1. Turn on the ignition and depress the kick lever (see Fig. 1) about 1/4 of its travel (enough to firmly get the ball of your foot on the lever) with either your left foot or right foot, depending on what position is most comfortable with your right hand on the throttle.
Note: It is very important to back off on the enricheners as soon as the engine will sustain itself without stalling. Since the Ural is a classic engine design, the plugs will foul quickly (as soon as one minute) if the engine mixture is too rich. If one plug fouls and the other doesn’t, the engine will run very unevenly and have greatly reduced power.
RUNNING IN THE NEW MOTORCYCLE The running-in period for the motorcycle is the first 2,500 km. Since the Ural engine is a classic design, it is critical to observe this running-in procedure. Failure to do so could cause engine damage and void the warranty.
Chapter 4 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DESIGN & MAINTENANCE ENGINE The motorcycle is equipped with a twin-cylinder four-stroke carburetor-type air-cooled engine. Opposed arrangement of cylinders in the horizontal plane is the outstanding feature of the motor- cycle design which ensures proper cooling and balancing of the crank gear. The engine valves are located in the cylinder heads.
Warm up the engine before changing the oil. Drain used oil from the engine and the oil filter cavity after having unscrewed the drain plug and filter plug. Change oil filter at the intervals shown in the service coupons. Set the rubber sealing bushing into the filter and fit the filter with the bushing onto the adapter of plug, then screw the latter into the front cover.
We recommend that you purchase an extra set of these plugs from your Authorized Ural Dealer and carry them in the mo- torcycle at all times.
Page 26
Enrichener off Enrichener on Use the enricheners only if needed to start a cold engine. Turn the enricheners off as soon as the engine has started to prevent the possible fouling of the spark plugs.
Chapter 6 POWER TRANSMISSION The power transmission of the motorcycle is comprised of the clutch, gearbox, drive shaft and the final drive. CLUTCH The clutch transmits torque from the engine to the gearbox. Disengage the engine from the gear- box during shifting of the gears and during braking to a stop. The clutch provides for smooth starting of the motorcycle from rest, protects the power transmission parts against damage when the engine speed or drive wheel speed is suddenly changed.
Chapter 7 RUNNING GEAR MOTORCYCLE AND SIDECAR FRAMES The frame is the principal bearing element of the motorcycle to which all the units and assemblies of the motorcycle are attached. The motorcycle is furnished with a twin closed frame of welded construction.
ADJUSTMENT OF SIDECAR INSTALLATION The sidecar should be installed in a definite position relative to the motorcycle. The position is determined by the camber and toe-in of the motorcycle and the sidecar wheels. An incorrectly aligned sidecar will drag the motorcycle to either side and cause extensive tire wear. If the motor- cycle is not stable on the road or is difficult to steer, check the alignment.
FRONT FORK The telescopic front fork used on the Cruiser models is equipped with inside springs and the double-acting hydraulic shock absorber. The leading link front fork used on the Tourist and Patrol models use a front lever-type fork with two interchangeable spring-hydraulic shock absorbers.
Chapter 8 WHEELS AND TIRES The Ural motorcycle is equipped with easily demountable interchangeable wheels with the cast (aluminum) brake drum on short spokes of the same size. Inner splines provided at the right-hand side of the hub receive the splined end of the final drive hub in case the wheel is used as a drive wheel.
ROTECTIVE RUBBER RIM STRIPS MUST BE USED IRE SIZES ARE MOLDED ON THE TIRE SIDEWALL UBE SIZES ARE PRINTED ON THE TUBE URAL tires that have been tested by the manufacturer to ensure compliance with DOT requirements are available from your Authorized Ural Dealer.
The following tire data labels are mounted on the front frame of your Ural. For motorcycle with sidecar accessory 19” tire Front: 491 lb. (223 kg) with 4.00 x 19 tire, 19 x 3.00 rim, at 22 psi cold (1.5 Bar) Side: 304 lb.
Chapter 9 CONTROLS & INSTRUMENTS HANDLE BAR AND CONTROLS The handle bar is mounted on the front fork through two brackets secured on the cross-piece of the front fork. The handle bar is adjustable in the brackets. The throttle control twist grip is linked to the carburetor throttles by flexible control cables. The clutch lever is linked to the clutch release arm by a cable.
After burnishing the brake shoes, adjust your brakes on each wheel to reduce the gap between shoes and drums. This procedure will ensure maximum braking performance during the running-in period and is essential before raising your top speed, after your Ural has been carefully run in (after 2,500 km).
for the brakes — effective braking of the motorcycle before the levers reach their limits. The brakes are checked when the fully laden motorcycle is running on dry asphalt or concrete pavement. This check is done at a slow speed. CONTROL CABLE MAINTENANCE The daily preventative maintenance involves checking the functioning, condition and fastening of the tie rods, cables and braking action.
Headlight. A 7" diameter DOT approved sealed beam headlight is used on the US Ural. Adjust it so that the high-beam is horizontal when the motorcycle is in its normal loaded condition.
Electrical Symbols Diode The diode is a solid state device which passes electricity in one direction only. Electrons flow through the diode against the direction of the arrow. Diodes typically use 0.7 volts to pass electric- ity. Push Button Switch When the button on the push button switch is pressed, the bar moves down to make a path for the electricity between the two contacts.
connection points are clean and tight. If the flow of electricity through a wire is interrupted due to a break in the wire or a poor connec- tion, then the circuit is said to be “an open circuit” The flow of electricity through a circuit always takes the path of least resistance. If there is an accidental path of extremely low resistance created in a circuit, the circuit is said to have a “short circuit”...
Ignition Timing To set the ignition timing, proceed as follows: -Match the first mark on the flywheel with the center marks on the engine flywheel window. -Loosen the fastening screws of the microprocessor unit and turn it counterclockwise until it stops. -Apply power to the ignition system by switching the ignition on.

The fuse box is located beside the left front fork. The #1 in-line fuse is located behind the headlight. The headlight control relays # 1 & 2 and in-line fuse # 2 are located underneath the fuel tank.
Note: Since the Ural engine is of a classic design, some leakage, seepage or dripping of oil and/ or other lubricants is normal. It is not indicative of any malfunctioning and therefore is not cov-...
REQUIRED LUBRICATION The Ural has been certified for EPA with premium grade SAE 20W/50 petroleum detergent oil. This oil has been used in both the engine and transmission. CARE OF MOTORCYCLE PAINT When washing the motorcycle, use a weak stream of cold or slightly heated water. Never use a pressure washer! Do not remove dust and mud by rubbing the surface with a dry cloth as sand particles will degrade the surface and the paint will rapidly lose its brilliance.
PRESERVATION AND STORAGE If the motorcycle is put in storage for the season, arrange it on supports and proceed with the preservation treatment. Check that the wheel tire pressure is within specifications. Store the motor- cycle away from acids, alkalis, mineral fertilizers and other harmful substances. Prior to placing it in storage, clean the bike thoroughly, drain the carburetors, or start the engine and let it run with the gasoline cock closed to remove gasoline in the float chambers of carburetors.
Do not short the terminals together to check for sparking. Before storage, fully charge the batteries, wash the battery surface with water and wipe dry, clean the bolts and nuts of dirt. WARNING: B ATTERIES CONTAIN SULFURIC ACID WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS VOID CONTACT WITH .

SIDECAR MAINTENANCE Check before driving that the final drive swing arm, propeller shaft fork and sun gear flange are bolted tightly. Grease the drive shaft splines sufficiently as outined in the service coupons. Do not over grease the drive shaft splines as this may prevent the drive shaft from moving freely in the hub. The sidecar wheel bearing requires no maintenance.
Ural will give you a much safer ride than a solo motor- cycle. Finally, you will enjoy the fact that the Ural will not expose you to tipping over at stop signs, which has happened all too frequently to beginners as well as experienced solo motorcycle drivers.
