Soviet Steeds

Yep someone posted this vid on another bike forum and is what started me looking at getting a Ural.

As said, the bikes were speshly prepared to do that.

Yep.

Well, it's far worse than I though. After checking L sided compression at around 119psi. the R came in at 30. No spark plug is gonna fix that. After getting the chair far enough away to get the head and cylinder off, the carnage was terrible.

Oh poop.

Why do so many of you have the fuel can? Personally i dont see a use for it unless you do some deep off-roading where there aren't fuel stops? Am I missing something? 30 - 40 mpg (US), maybe worse (down in the 20's depending what you're doing, off roading, steep uphills, heavy loads, strong headwin...

1. Fuel injector somehow sticks open
2. On the same side of the engine, the intake valve is open

3. Pump has to be running. Pretty sure it won't run out of tank by gravity alone.

Here's mine -

No switch, it has body heat sensor (PIR) also only works in the dark.

Put a new battery in my 12 t. Wasn’t all that easy to pop the old one out and slide in the new one. Watched a YouTube video. It shows loosening the starter, and tilting it down to get the battery out. On a 2012, loosening the starter doesn’t really help. Brackets from the air intake hold it in plac...

Well this is interesting - there is a phpBB users forum, I found this topic about "attachments disappearing", they're all complaning about it, the first post was January 2018, last post August, still apparently not resolved :( EDIT: oops, link: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2453846

John can't fix it, only the people who wrote the code. It's got a bug in it, that wasn't there before last update, it happens sometimes, presumably next update will fix it.

Maybe John has told them but since phpBB3 is free it's not like you can insist, i.e. if you'd paid money for it.

The fuel injector (which is always full of pressurized fuel) squirts gas pretty much directly into the intake port. Anything unburned is pushed out on the exhaust stroke, and then the whole cycle begins again, so there's fresh air on every stroke, regardless of whether you twist the throttle or not...

maybe its more the time between the start and not ride that is the issue, my 16 GU has been started and not driven without any issue ,but several hours between the first and second start. maybe gas dissipates. :cheers: One time is was next day or two, another time a week, so I dunno. http://livingi...
