I have a 2018 M70 retro in metallic brown. I bought ist last Summer as my first Ural. Kept running it through the whole winter while my car is slowly collecting rust. Whenever possible, my wife and my parent's dog hop in and we go for a short hiking trip somewhere in the vicinity. To me, it's the best thing I've ever bought. 😄
We love ours, my wife took hers to Macon GA this morning, she'll put 100+ miles on it today alone, without me. She actually rides more than I do as she does all the errands and grocery shopping on it. She has a trailer too, uses it for groceries as well. Glad you joined the club. On the Retro (since you can't get them any more) consider the Gen2 EFI Upgrade. It has been well worth it for me on my Retro.
Great honest every day video. Good to hear about normal issues that other vids don't mention.
Thanks. I've really enjoyed the Retro. I installed heated grips no long ago, should have done it sooner!
Great video , great narration and great helper Benny . Cheers from Australia !!!
Gorgeous 🐕
Got to see this rig many times while I was buying a Ural as well. Very nice color combination and has that classic appeal.
Thanks for posting sure wish Honda made the same rig would stand in line to buy it
Like the video & Benny too, thanks for posting...from Texas-R&B.
Thanks for the video that’s a very nice bike...
We got a nice 1992 Ural has been stored for years before we got it and we really enjoy it too...
Good boy Benny. Thanks for sharing your video.
Woof woof, yeehhoooooooooowl, woof
You lucky people!
I enjoyed this.
Safe roads! 👍
Thanks for sharing. Nice rig. I have a 2017 M-70 along with two BMW bikes, a 1995 R100R and a 2018 R1200RT. I enjoy all three for different reasons. I bought the M-70 new and have had three warranty issues, the fuel pump, the speedometer and the rear brake light actuator. Runs great and I take the Ural whenever I take my dog. He thoroughly enjoys it. I look forward to seeing how Sigmund continues to perform. Cheers, Larry from Cape Cod
Sounds like one good adventure garage! You appear to have gotten a good M70. I'll keep fixing what breaks until nothing is broken.
Super hott! Love the retro vintage style!
Great choice!
2 beautiful combos, thank you for posting.
Give Benny a rub from me. So funny, I’ve watched your bat videos over the years. Took a while for me to realize you are one in the same. You’re a very talented man.
Literally done just now as he lays here looking at me like "umm, yeah, sure, whatever" He's a husky, husky don't care unless food is involved. Thanks for your comment, they are really appreciated. Trying to stir up enough "care" to start posting videos again. Been a rough year this year so far.
Gone Uraling hope you and your family are staying safe. Yes a very tough year. Take care
A second-hand Ural can be picked up very reasonably with almost no miles on it because either you like it or you don't and the people who like it put lots of miles on their bikes and the people who don't shower to somebody who will enjoy it and enjoy the fact they did not have to pay the depreciation on a brand new bike I bought my bike for 4,000 dollars and it had six thousand original miles on it I've had the bike seven years and I have over 40,000 miles on it very reliable nice and cool running I can't believe all of the warranty issues people have with the newer bikes especially with all the electronics the older bikes are much more reliable and much easier to service then the new ones especially if you do the work yourself used bikes don't last on the market very long before somebody snapped them up people always ask me why I don't take my dog for a ride in my sidecar and I tell them because she is busy guarding my little house in cracktown
Looks great! I took my new GU in yesterday to the folks at BM for its 1st service. Course we have tons of rain for the next week so we picked a good week for service.
Yep, that 1st service (break in I presume) is important. I let BM do mine as well just for the warranty record of it all. Otherwise, I do my own service, about to service my Wife's cT later this week and do a bit more customizing per her "request".
Шикарно у вас наши Уралы смотрятся!
Thanks!
VERY nice rigs !!!! I'm still working on mine (a 1998 650). I hope this are the only problems you'll ever have on both machines. Cheers from Romania!!!
Romania, if the world was simpler, the places I would go. Enjoy the work and once running, be safe riding!
Luv it M8 country Australia 🍀
Enjoyable video. Don 't think I could handle the heat down in GA though. I start feeling uncomfortable when it's over 75. Rode today, it was 55 degrees here in MA, which for me is about perfect. As I used to say, "Three below and three feet of snow," without winter I don't think I could make it through the year. Oh, but I DO like your boiled peanuts! I find them sometimes in the Indian markets here and boil them up myself. Mmm Mmm good!
It IS very pretty, I’m glad it’s working OK now.
Mine has ALWAYS skipped, hesitated, burped, farted when trying to get going,
Always done the 5 minute warm up, Always run hi test like in the Harley’s... I told
Them right from the beginning it was the ecu,s....
Have them clear and re-flash the ECU's. Since mine was done I have to admit, the only few stumbles so far have been when it was cold. Once warmed up, it has run consistently better than it originally did.
BOOHOO your traffic is nothing compared to here. Glad you got it fixed. good video
Lovely rig, nice video. I'm working on a knackered 750 wolf at the moment, hoping to ride it this summer.
Ahh, my Son keeps wanting one of those. He has a 75 BMW R75/6 now he restored and is looking for his next project.
I think they look awesome, an absolute pain to get parts for it though over here in the UK.
Beauty. Many safe km. Fonz.
Hello from Germany. Nice Video of your M70 retro. I own an ural retro (carburated version) since 2013, no major issues so far.
The only problem is that there is absolutely no comfort for the rider. The suspension is really hard (reminds me to a rigid frame). My backbone is absolutely scrap (i got a surgery on it a few weeks ago), so i have to check the possibility to change the seat into a "spring-loaded" version or something similar. Otherwise the ural has to go
I agree. I made a custom bracket, used two coil springs and put on a Harley solo seat. No way I could ride it with the original tractor seat.
@@GoneUraling thank you for your reply.
This will be the solution i have to choose as well; to create something on my own. Furthermore i will try to move the new seat approx 3 to 4 inches to the back to achieve a better riding position. I am 6' 2" (for metric people: 1,88 m), so the knee angle is not very nice for longer distances.
Hey guys! love your Videos. :-) I have a 2017 cT (just under 1000k right now). Question, Where did you get the Spare tire holder and Wheel assembly? I'm guessing you used the Gear-up parts (as they should fit supposedly) or got it from Blue Moon. Blue Moon warranty work is by appointment only according to their site. They are about a 3.5 hour drive from me (that's driving slab the entire way). My other option is Heindl Engineering in OH.
I called Gene at Holopaw and told him I needed a spare tire mount with universal blacked out spare wheel and K28 tire mounted for the 2017 cT. Then I read a bunch of digits off a card for him and it showed up a few days later. Then, my wife started reading some pieces of paper a few weeks later and seemed a bit perturbed until i told her that was her Christmas present! What kind of warranty work do you need? PM or email me or find me on Facebook (GoneUraling) or get in touch with me. You can call me and chat.
@@GoneUraling Thanks so much for the quick reply.
I would recommend Heidel engineering for you to take your bike to and get it serviced the man is Right knowledgeable very conscientious about his work Euro enthusiastic excellent dealer fantastic Parts Supply I would recommend him over blue moon in my opinion check out some of his videos and you'll see what I mean bye have a good dealer I buy parts from and who helps me with service work but he's 200 miles away it would take me 4 hours to ride my Euro to get there I would probably have to rent a truck or trailer to take the bikes are if there was something seriously wrong with the bike had my 99 Euro 7 years and 40,000 miles love the bike take it all over everywhere everybody knows the bike everybody thinks the bike is so cool when I ride to the Harley shop if it's hog refer for the hog magazine will take a picture of me pulling into the driveway and at how my bike is in your newsletter Crawford Engineering in Michigan makes reprinted shop manuals very helpful another excellent dealer he has a great part supply for older bikes
My 99 Ural tourist has Mikuni carburetors on it they are the only Japanese Parts on my motorcycle everything else is Soviets built and the bike is 25 years old and I have put 40,000 miles on it in the seven years that I have had it and since my last big motorcycle accident on my BMW it has been my only means of transportation day in day out everyday use very reliable Mikuni carburetors are great carburetors and I am very pleased with the operation of them on my bike and I would never go to fuel injection even if it was free my bike doesn't run super lean and super hot to pass some stupid European pollution test for catalytic converters in the exhaust system and oxygen sensors and ecu's and all of that crap Ola I don't need none of it and it's such a shame that the new urals have so much crap added to them that does not last as long as the stuff that they used to have on their older motorcycles they bad-mouth to soviet-built bikes with their soviet-built part but I fine for their intended purpose that they are perfectly fine Mike twenty-five-year-old Euro has has better reliability than the newer bikes I have seen so many videos about doing rebuilding stuff to seven-year-old bikes super low mileage on them and I just shake my head in disbelief they only break service I had to do in seven years was to put a brake cable on The Handlebar and it took me all of 30 seconds No Lie I have drum brakes on all of my pretty stuff and they sit for 30 40 50 years and the drum brakes work disc brakes the fluid draws water into the system Rush the cylinders in the master cylinder Shaw video on rebuilding Brembo disc brakes every seven years you have to rebuild them no thanks not for me
Christine is running about the same as yours now, still prefer the (my) Retro!
Lap of USA anyone?
Haven't watched for a while did you trade in your old rigs?
And all the ugly weather now for the next week+ We'll have to meet up and go somewhere fun as soon as we can get our schedules sync'd and some nice weather.
I spy bottle holder! :D
I know what you mean about therapy. I take my golden retriever Sophie. She loves it and in turn makes me love taking her. I’ve got 3500 miles on my 2018 gear up and no problems other than the rear tire is worn out. I took your advise on going with the Heidenau K-28. Should I expect issues on my rear brake??
Ride safe and enjoy! My K28 tires are giving me more than 5000 miles on the pusher. If you are getting less, check the alignment. My rear brake issues were dealer induced, they routed the rear brake line across the tire, chewed it up before I made it 5 miles down the road. Also discovered the rear brake bracket was not drilled properly (factory issue) and Ural didn't have the parts to send. They just got the parts to repair it in late January. Meanwhile, being the stubborn cuss I am I bought a brake line and adjusted the bracket myself so I could ride until new parts finally did arrive.
Are the front forks original? Most Urals I have seen have a leading link system.
The M70 and the Retro have the telescopic forks standard. They stopped making them in 2018. In the U.S. we can only get the leading link forks since 2019. Outside the U.S. I believe they offer a "Ranger" model that has the telescopic forks but it has the standard (not M70) frame.
Nice video, how to trust a brand new machine, ! These Russian bike are very expensive
Yeah Jimmy Carter!
Boulevard! Every time I say Jimmy Carter BOULEVARD I imagine a pimp cruising in a 1968 Cadillac DeVille Convertible with velvet seats. Watched too many movies I guess.
@@GoneUraling , he's turned it to a massive humanitarian.
That is true. I'm talking about the word BOULEVARD, sounds like to me what I described above looks like.
Safe miles. Fonz.
Did you keep your other bike also!!??
Nope, sold both of them faster than I suspected I would. I priced them similar to others and both were gone the day after I posted them. Would have liked to have kept them, but put the cash back toward these plus I just didn't have the space to keep all 4.
I’ve got a 2018 retro with only 500 miles and have the hesitation thing when cold. Is it a sensor that fixed yours? Fuel sensor?
Cold hesitation is not technically fixed, if I crank it and take off, I will have about 30 seconds of "I ain't a going" and then another 3 or 4 minutes of "I don't wanna be going" before the engine settles down. Once it does though, virtually all of the other issues are gone. Very occasionally I get a small hiccup when running, maybe twice since the fix. But overall, it's running great. I was told by someone else if you disconnect the 02 sensors, it will likely run great 15 seconds after starting and do well. I tried the warranty fix first, and that worked. As to what they did, he says he Cleared the ECUs and re-flashed both of them to the off-road code despite the fact both reported it was already the off-road code. Whatever it did, it seems to have worked.
Darrell, what kind of center stand extension do you have on this bike?
It actually comes that way on the M70 (now discontinued as of 2018). It is a great addition. I suspect they do not put them on the GearUp or cT as if you were off roading (what those bikes are supposedly sold to do) it could get hung up on stuff. But from my observations, most of these bikes actually do very little true off roading. I'm up front honest, no desire to off road, don't even care for a dirt road.
@@GoneUraling same here when it comes to off-road. i don't go there. My Tourist would really benefit from that center stand. I wonder if it would fit on my Tourist as a swap out?
@@GoneUraling Everyone asks why I went for a Retro and not a Gear Up, that is why! I like roads.
@@kirkolmsted Yep, rode this morning down Highway 16, no traffic, cruised about 60mph, passed trail after dirt road after open field and NOT ONCE did I want to turn into one of them and beat myself and the rig to death in ditches, holes and mud holes! I love to cruise and look around.
My carbureted 650 runs perfectly fine on 87 regular ethanol rated gas premium gas is a dollar more a gallon I have no problem with pinging or detonation or running on after the keys be cut off now with the price of gas at cost me more to fill up my 5 gallon tank that it used to cost me to fill up my truck what the f***?
I sense these bikes are not to be totally trusted. Why so many issues when brand new, and why didn't the shop check it all out before letting you take it in the first place?
Been to many Ural get-togethers if Honda made something like a Ural I would be standing your mom to get one just can't seem to talk to me
Did you're son buy the 250 hardtail
The Janus? Yes, yes he did.
$22,000 to $34,000 here in Canada? Definitely a more money than brains situation.
You can buy nice vintage Indians and Harleys for this kind of money.
Thanks so much for your uninformed and insulting comment. Either your local prices are through the roof or your exchange rate information is wrong. I paid no where near that and am happy with my purchase. If I'd wanted an old Indian or Harley I'd have bought one.
Over priced toys .
It's what I wanted, it's what I bought, what is it to you how I spend my money?
