Any advice for someone new looking to dd it 90+% of the time? And for road use, is the 2wd really ever needed? (probably gonna get one anyway for the trails) but on kind of a tight budget) Welcome to the forum. I'll repeat the advice given to me by forum members when I made a similar pre-purchase i...

In the next few weeks, I'll be upgrading my 2018 M70 with the Keihin 2nd generation EFI kit. Rather expensive at $2k, but a lot cheaper than a new rig. Barry, Please start a dedicated thread for the build, if you don't mind (even if Redmond HQ has a hand in the install). I'm interested in this kit ...

Literally, the first thing I learned about Urals, after discovering the brand in the early aughts, was the very well-regarded upholstery work of Rich Maund. I remember thinking, all those years ago, that I'd want at least his sidecar interior carpet kit if I ever purchased a Ural. I now have a Ural,...

constant power to ECU's maintains their "learned" programming. Loss of power returns then to programming values. I disconnected and removed the Ural's battery when wiring in my heated grips. After the battery was refitted, I went for a shakedown ride to test the grips' function. I didn't perceive a...

Mine is a Burgundy 2020. Waiting to pick it up.

I, and the Moos, salute your color choice.

pure-gas.org This is the site that has a list of gas stations in your state or any state. Those sites and apps are usually crowd sourced. That is to say, they depend on end user inputs to maintain the database of relevant fuel stations. Quality control (i.e., the accuracy of the lists) can be wanti...

So, what color will your 2020 Ural be when we see you arrive in grand style at the 2020 BGR?

pure-gas.org This is the site that has a list of gas stations in your state or any state. Canada too! I printed a list of the 192 gas stations in Oregon that have non-ethanol gas. I keep it in my trunk. Edit : there is also a couple of apps available for this site. Also they give a GPS location for...

I ride year round, park in Downtown Denver. It is not uncommon for me to shake homeless off the bike. I have had my switches all messed with many times. Special ordered my 2018 without that sidecar LED thing, doesn't work for my needs, but would have had to run that through a relay. To each their o...

I'll skip the socialist diatribe about a business model that shifts the cost of ownership of capital to the workers and just say "Uber won't allow it". A high school classmate of mine was moonlighting as an Uber driver. As she explained it, living near a college town (as she did) was a virtual lice...

I'm putting this in the watering hole since it's more about theory/ preference . ...does anyone know a reason to have that feature vs preventing the people that play with the bike from getting an "ooh" reward for their switch flipping and possibly coming back to a low battery? If I envisioned direc...

One bag that I like for carrying a wide array of stuff when off the bike is the QualComm Sat bag. https://countycomm.com/collections/bags/products/sat-com-xl-bag-by-maratac-rev-3 https://countycomm.com/collections/bags/products/sat-com-bag-by-maratac-rev-3 I've been buying from County Comm for year...

Some say high end performance should be better without them... That's why I asked. :thumbsup: If the absence of the honeycombs improves airflow, with no ill effect on running, I would expect a pinch of improved performance in the upper rev range. The foregoing reminds me of the test pipes that folk...

Jon @ Heindl provides a video that illustrates the proper method of purging air from the fuel pump on an ElectroJet injected Ural.

Its a text book example of a melted catalyst. It can be caused by fuel/ignition issue, exhaust leak, or physical damage. I'm wondering if, in isolation, the wholesale absence of catalytic converter internals would cause any running issues. Said differently, would the Ural owner who discovers that t...
