nice over run note glideing down that hill i have a 2016 forrest fog ranger
Sweet!
You didn't pump the grease into the joint, it just came out sideways out of the nozzle
A little always dribbles out. It was greased, trust me.
im in aus i put mine to bed in summer lols
i have 2016 ural ranger irbit built one of the last politics does suck keep it out of motorcycles
I just ride mine all winter. I don't see a problem.
You are way tougher than I am 😬
@@Uraljunkie : There is a guy in Canada called Nick Adams who rides his Moto Guzzi all year round. Now that is tough. He has a good channel on YT.
Nice presentation good advice thank you
Thanks!!
thanks Allan , i have a 2020 ranger that i will be doing this mod on , very helpfull. regards Mark
Good to hear - have fun!
headed your way this weekend for a nice ride through mirror lake highway... really miss the videos bud.
Oooohhh… sounds really good. Yeah… such a niche subject, I kind of ran out of content 😐
First of all, thank you for your videos. I, too, have fallen into the abysmal addiction of these wonderfully awful, joyously painful beasts. I bought a 2020 Gear Up this Spring, and spent weeks working on extricating the bugs of neglect the previous owner let crawl into it. I am almost to a point of normal Uralism, but still have a problem with the handling. She pulls to the right. Right now the toe-in is a whopping 1¼", checked many times as accurately as I could. And the lean out is about 1½ to 2 degrees. I had it at 3+ degrees which didn't seem to help, and actually seemed to make handling"feel" worse. Any words of wisdom? Thanks. Len
Hi there… that’s a lot of toe in. I think the spec is somewhere around 3/8th of an inch. Your lean out sounds about right. I would start with getting the toe in correct and then go from there. Curious if it helps - let me know. Thanks!
How to buy?
Try this: www.uralne.com/search.php?search_query=Sidecar%20distance%20spacer§ion=product
Nice info, thanks mate. I'm considering this mod on my 2021 GU. Tossing up between your solution, or an after-market tachometer. Your solution is both cheaper (by a loooong way!) and reduces handlebar/dash clutter.
Good to hear. Have fun!
Good afternoon. please tell me, does your motorcycle consume oil? if so, how many grams per 100km?
As far as I can tell, no. It doesn’t leak and no smoke is visible in the exhaust. Oil level stays the same between oil changes.
@@Uraljunkie But for some reason I start to start consuming oil due to wind resistance. if there is no wind, the level remains unchanged. I drive at a speed of 80 km/h. oil Motul 7100 20w-50.
How are you measuring the oil loss? Dipstick? Have you done a compression check? Mine runs at 150psi. I will check my oil more often… usually I don’t check it because I don’t think it burns oil. I searched the internet for Ural Burning Oil and found a bunch of info on sovietsteeds.com. www.sovietsteeds.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=51150&start=15
Links to the references you imbedded please?
I can add this one: www.acewell-meter.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/CA-085-1XX_2XX-Series-USER-MANUAL-EN-L-20161109.pdf For the installation, I can’t find the link, but if you send me an email address, I can send the document from my computer.
Thank you for this excellent Ural content! Air cooled aircraft engines typically cruise at a maximum of 75% power. Above this percentage the fuel flow is greatly increased with very little speed increase, and engine wear curve steepens sharply. Overheating can happen with sustained operation above 75% power as well. IMO the comparison of a typical air-cooled aircraft engine with a flat 4 or flat 6 configuration is apropos as the Ural engine is of a similar design era as the aircraft air-cooled engine. Just as the Urals have gone high-tech with fuel injection/ignition so have air cooled aircraft engines but the power percentage guidelines still apply.
I the under headlamp wire color still grey? I own a '23 Gear Up. Thank you!
I can only assume so, since it wire is from the Acewell speedometer, not the Ural itself.
RIP Cone
How are you doing Alan? Where are we going to visit on your fantastic Ural this year? My 1973 Dneipr 650 sidecar is all operational and rolling here in France and I am really looking forward to getting lots of kilometers covered both on and off the road. I sure am looking forward to following your adventures 👍
Метрический инструмент прислали в есте с мотоциклом или его собрали на дюймовых болтах?
да - он входил в заводской набор инструментов.
Decent solution. Might not have that "spatious clean look" but it sure tidies everything up nicely.
You’re the best! Keep the videos coming. Thanks from Hells Canyon, Frank.
Thanks, will do!
On newer Bikes red(+) is from the other side(right side where sidecar mounts), so the easiest way to jumpstart is to connect positive to the plus red wire which goes to starter and the other one negative black to any of open metal or negative which is from left side of the bike and is accessible when you put away left cover. Also it is not a good idea to ride on bad battery as you get enougth of power oly on high RPM and some of sensor may not work correctly on low rpm because of power loss. I had this issue with bad battery on my Ural cT 2020. And this riding with bad battery ended with dead crankenshaft sensor and dead throttle position sensor.
Good point about the new Urals having switched terminals. Thanks!
Great channel. Thanks - from Hells Canyon, Frank.
Hey Frank! Nice to hear from you again. Still jealous about Hells Canyon 😬
Nice idea, mate. I've just wired in a dual battery system on our 2011 Tourist. I was thinking there are too many wires terminating on the battery, and this might be what I'm looking for.
Seems to be working fine. A lot easier taking out and putting back in the battery too.
@@Uraljunkie Certainly does look easier, as well as tidier. I've located a supplier, but will have to wait a bit, as we're off on a road trip. (1,170 km each way = 730 miles each way).
Sweet - have fun. I got mine from Amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T59OLQQ/
Nice one. I have a spare pair of LED spotlights I'd like to fit to my 2021 GU. The 2011 Tourist already has a light bar that illuminates the next post code. The standard "spotlights" on the GU give a spread that improves on the single headlight, but they're strictly low beam, not made for distant vision that we need round my way. I like to be able to see wildlife BEFORE I hit it! lol Keep on making these vids, mate.
Put into hibernation 😮??? I ride my 2011 in the cold North Dakota winter. Even planning to irritate a certain game warden by taking it ice fishing at the refuge since snowmobiles and ATVS are prohibited 😂😂😂
I have a 2011 not EFI and am able to kickstart in -20 winter. Not long distance rides at that temperature but the looks I get around town are priceless. Cheers from North Dakota
Brrr…
thanks! it's very useful
Glad to hear it! Thanks!
Und die Kreuzgelenge? Die haben auch Schmierung verdient.
Don't wrap the muffler and the pipes.. the cooling of the engine is not warrantied... and under the wrap, there will be a lot of rust... really, it's a bad idea. And the outlet - valve coud erlier break, it gets hotter than normal. .... my idea:put it off and make a good paint on it.... thats the best you can do, or change the material and take stainless steel... or chrome.... best wishes , Peter
I tend to agree. I did give the pipes a good coating of primer and paint before wrapping. I guess it was mostly out of curiosity, since I had never wrapped pipes before.
Why do i like watching other people riding URALS? 😆... love my ural ❤... nice video.
Ha! We all love to do that! Thanks a bunch!
Hi Allen. I recently purchased a 2017 Ural Gear Up and noticed the Owners Manual on Page 4-2 (Fluids, Lubricants & Capacities) lists 20w-50 for both the Engine and Gearbox oil. Do you think its a typo for the Gearbox oil, or was something different with the 2017 model? I guess I'll have to give the stealer, I mean dealer, a call.
Hi Kevin… Ural actually changed to specs for gearbox oil a couple of years ago. We are now supposed to use 75W90 synthetic oil in the gearbox. I think that is a good call since the bikes have a dry clutch and the gears are pretty hard on oil. Your dealer should be able to verify that. Thanks a bunch for the question and for watching!
Honest question, because I’ve never run across a good evaluation of the optional Nitron shocks on stuff like this. Do you know anyone out there that’ve done that. Could they possibly be a game changer on this rocky stuff?
@@Uraljunkie Same here. At $3K, it’s a move that would require me to be certain it would be worth the investment! (Maybe they’d sponsor some for you and I to take on our Gear Ups and do that evaluation that everyone has been waiting for!) I for one, would love to do it.
@@peglegjim57 I wish they would sponsor me for an evaluation!
after watching this I am going to attempt have adjustment and cylinder head torque soon. Liked and subscribed
Wonderful ride Alan. 👌
Many thanks!
Thank you for the great information .. Much appreciated .
Anytime! Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for posting and givivng blood. You have to wonder why Ural can't be bothered to wire in the Tach, amongst other things they leave to the end-users.
Hi bro, why you do not update videos? Summer has gone😂
Busy busy. Too many things to do right now. Soon… thanks for the encouragement!
@@Uraljunkiehaha, be happy and healthy, enjoy to watch you playing your motorcycle.
Thanks for the tips. You have some good ones, for sure. I saw another YT vid on this subject, though I can't remember exactly where. The guy had a grease nipple ("zerk") at the grease gun end of a flexible tube that fitted over the driveshaft UJ grease nipple. I'll be trying that on my 2021 GU. I've just done the 2011 Tourist, because I'm replacing the rear tyre. ~ Heff
Just came across your video. I own a 2006 Ural Retro. How did you know those pads would fit? I can't find anything online showing Ural replacement parts. Thx.
Just search Ural brake pads and you should get a lot of hits. I might have even checked the EBC website, since I use EBC brakes on my other vehicles. Lots of Ural parrots to be found at UralNE.com and Heindlengineering.com. If I can help, just let me know! You can also find all parts and part numbers at IMZ-Ural.com.
You make it seem very easy, I think I might give this a try myself. My only question is if your old brake pads are very worn, which I think mine are. How do you recompress the pistons?
Hello Alan. You haven’t uploaded for a while. Are you ok?
I am doing great - thanks for asking. It has been another crazy year, but I am hoping that the other projects get wrapped up so I can do some Ural stuff!
@@Uraljunkie Good to know you’re well and keeping busy. Cheers 👋
Thanks for the great tips and video details. This helped me tremendously, and got rid of my annoying squeaky break.
I am very happy to hear that! Thanks!
I've ridden the off road part of this trail on a Suzuki dual sport. I think my Ural would work out fine on that trail too. Keep these videos coming.
Have you tried the Zion's tunnel? It connects Bryce and Zions national parks.
Not sure. If I did, it was many years ago. I’ll put that on my list - thanks!
Alan: You missed stopping by the Provo river falls which are along this scenic highway. I have rode by it many times without knowing this spectacular sight is there waiting.
Thanks for the quick info, my tach is now showing the correct rpms!
Sweet!
Thank you for taking time to do the video! Good stuff.
Why would my valve cover be stuck on? I’ve tried just about everything to get it off and they act like there is a second bolt someplace…any ideas?
Please do!
Thanks for your brake pad change videos Alan, made the job of replacing them on my 2014 (1WD) Tourist here in Perth, Australia much easier!
Great to hear!
Cool. Was looking into good mounting ideas. Many thanks.
