Hope they make a set with a 13mm - the most common size on a Ural

I assume that you are calling it the "Porker Run" has to do with the fact that I could afford to lose a couple pounds?

Thanks a lot!!

Very witty.

I undercoated mine with a rubber spray from Walmart. It’s held up for 8 years with just a few tiny rust spots. I also sealed all the surfaces on the hack where metal part meet and where water could collect with a clear, paintable silicon caulk. Oh, the rubber mats, while looking nice can/will trap w...

The Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association (CVMA) held its 7th annual Battlefield Bash outside of Williamsburg, VA. The CVMA raises money to help veterans though various programs. Myself, Festis and Beth, Flyguy and Brigitte & Cecil were the Ural continent in a sea of HDs (approx 300). Had a blast, ...

A few weeks ago, Tomcatfixer, Festis and his wife Beth, and myself paraticapted in the Colonial Virginia Tour (20+ year old or older motorcycle group - sidecars are welcome). It was held in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mts. where the riding is just made for Urals. 4878D0D8-587C-415A-904F-759E4B63...

Understand what a Ural is and is not and you’ll have years of fun. Looking forward to your future ride reports

Update: Thanks for all the really good suggestions. I even called ski at Tri Quest and he was leaning towards a piston ring, from when I installed new ones a few months ago, was caught in the piston channel and not decompressing, thus allowing blowback. As it turns out, when I did a major service an...

Daisy Cutter, I like the Raceway. Granted, the muffler tubing is difficult (read as impossible) to keep clean looking, but other then that... I’m glad I bought a used one, however.

Understood about the M70/Retro, but the data is in line with a non 2WD with 10 lb difference.

I can see that being a carry over but if so then previous data is ?????

Humm... it’s like how the pyramids were built. Somethings we’ll never know and in the long run doesn’t make a difference.

You can clean the cylinder head in place using Easy Off oven cleaner and let it sit overnight

If you have parts questions, you can call Ski at Tri-quest out in California, or Terry at Crawford up in Michigan. They are both extremely knowledgeable and will walk you through all the parts you need to order

Won't thee be oil leak/wet spots to look for as an indicator if the engine case and all surrounding is clean?

It’s good to have fresh eyes. You’re right. As the saying goes “can’t see the forest for the trees”

Love the videos. What a fantastic group effort. You’ve got a great group of guys lending their expertise

I’m not going to over worry about this. It’s annoying, but otherwise everything seems ok. Can’t figure out where a hiss would come from with the spark plugs removed since is nothing to build pressure against. Propwash, I thought about that and squirted 3-1 oil around the tube connections thinking th...
