Re: How much should I ask?
I think if I was looking from what I know about the bike with the pictures considered I would probably not go over $4,000 as a buyer. Maybe less if I learned more or saw it in person. Some of the add-ons I see are not worth anything to me. The aftermarket mufflers, unless quiet with good performance...

Re: Spousal Unit Getting a 2019 GU
From a maintenance and spares kit point of view it makes sense if you both have the same machine.

Re: WTB - WANTED - nice, clean Retro or cT (T)
Alex, There was some pitting from all the corrosion inside the tank but the metal was sound and clean. I've used POR-15 and it is a fine product when used according to the directions. But I've now stopped lining tanks once they are clean and just keep them filled with quality fuel. I don't get rust ...

Re: WTB - WANTED - nice, clean Retro or cT (T)
Fuel Tank Cleaning I use oxacilic acid for cleaning fuel tanks. I learned about it on a KLR forum. It is used as a deck brightner and available at the hardware store. It won't hurt paint if you don't leave it on there dry. Look in the deck care products section and read the ingredients of the produc...

Re: New Bike - Clutch and Throttle concerns
I wonder if there is a bit of corrosion on the splines causing the plates to hang up a bit.

Re: 500km Service on an Out of Warranty 2016 GU
In my limited experience with Urals I suggest if you believe you have the skills, knowledge and abilities to do the service you should do it yourself. Mechanics is mechanics so no real surprises with the Ural. If you need to buy a new set of feeler gauges they should be easy to get at a local auto p...

Re: Broke the Pusher on Day One!
I haven't had to mess with the rotor bolts on my 2010 Gear Up yet. But on flat head bolts (having a countersunk head) the surface area of the head and the material it touches is significantly increased from a sockethead cap screw or a hex head bolt. I make sure I put anti-seize on the head of the bo...

Re: Wheel Base of a Ural
Can you put a sheet of 3/4" plywood on the rack and get a bit more length that way?

Re: Trunk Latch Breaking Key
I didn't have any issue with the OE lock, but I did change it out for a combination lock which has worked out well for me. Barry, Could you please share more info about that combo lock you installed? Make, model and place of purchase would be great. If you could include a picture of inside the trun...

Re: KMZ MB-750 ignition problem
On points systems if the ignition is left on for long without running the engine AND the points are closed it can lead to damage to coil(s). I've had to address that a few times on bikes. It is an easy fix if the owners are willing to quit turning on the ignition without starting the engine. Best, J...

Re: Need a Goldwing sidecar
If you can't find any used struts maybe consider new. Last year I bought a new one for my 2010 Gear Up for $19.99. Part Number is IMZ-8. 1034-20055.
