I’ve watched all your very good and informative vids. Two I’d enjoy seeing are 1) lubrication of splines - side car and drive splines 2) a general inspection of machine in say a fifteen thousand km service where changing of fuel filter necessary.
These videos are awesome. Please keep them coming. Ural owners need some love too! I would like some other maintenance jobs too. Thanks! 2015 Gear-Up owner
That’s extremely useful thank you. I’ve just bought a 2011 Ural Retro Classic here in the UK and I’m just getting my head around it. It’s fantastic that they’re so straightforward.
Yes this is a very popular topic on the forums and group discussions, I thought about including this tip but thought as I am representing the OEM I should let owners hear it from other experienced Ural riders. As it is I sometimes push the line of what I should and shouldn't suggest but folks appear to like the honesty of the topics. Thank you for the comment!
Very helpful videos thanks👍 Just my two cents, after calliper installation don't forget to give one or two brake pedal movement to reset the brake pistons and pads 😉
Hi David. Nice video. I am new to Ural 2WD and have a left hand drive sidecar. I am a little confused about the purpose of the distance piece. From what I can see, the wheel is driven via the spline engagement and the wheel/stub axle assembly rotates as a unit on the bearings in the swing arm. The wheel bearings actually take no part in supporting the wheel in a rotational sense. ie turning the wheel by hand it can be seen that the castle nut rotates as well, with the stub axle. The spacer is tucked up inside the spline and bears against the spline on wheel side. So, it rotates with the spline assembly. How does it wear out? Assuming it is held firmly by compression of the castle nut.
Please post a video on putting the spare on the front wheel. My front wheel is cracked and is unusable. I think my spare will work on the front after changing the disc rotor mount but am having problems figuring out the caliber mount.
Really great video... but have not seen where the 3 small washers are located on the brake caliper... maybe you can show that later on again. And great know that the distance washer on the axle is a wear part... didn’t know that. Maybe you can make a video with a list of all these tiny little things you have additionalem in your tools to make live easier outside? Like the washer, splints, other tools etc... that would be great!
Great suggestions! The spacers/washers (if your bike has them) go between the caliper and the mounting bracket. If you contact us at info@ural.com we can send a picture of what that looks like.
@@stupollock6851 I mean these tiny little metal pieces you need to secure nuts or bolts... like a split nail, you have to bend the 2 "arms" of the splint to secure the bolt/nut... I have learned toi have always some of these with me for the brakes and other parts. Nightmare if you break one of these or lose them and you are not able to secure the brake pads correctly...
@@fritzthecat1973 Are these splints rather generic - or particular to he Brembo brand. I have a 2020 gear up and I am also assembling a tool kit. My Cush donut is on order as that would be a mess not to have when needed.
I forgot which exact product, here is a similar item with an improved stabilizing base that is the same size... www.amazon.com/Torin-Steel-Scissor-Jack-Capacity/dp/B004PX8BC2/ref=sr_1_4?crid=162ME2JA6G0RS&dchild=1&keywords=scissor+jack&qid=1594311150&s=automotive&sprefix=scissor+%2Cautomotive%2C225&sr=1-4
Hi. Can you post a video on how to change a TIRE from a rim, not an entire wheel. Especially, the stock Duro tires I’ve found them tough and hard to change.
Der Teufel get some rim savers. They come in a pack of two- get two packs so have four of them. I purchased a bead buddy which would have been useful but I couldn’t get it to fit the 19” rim and was afraid of scraping the rim so didn’t use. Your friends are soapy water to lube tire and talcum powder when inserting tube. Need three tire spoons and a tire valve remover. Another good thing to do if available is heat your tire before lubing as it is more pliable. Another tip is to take small incremental jumps with your tire spoons - don’t be too aggressive and try to bite off too much at a time. Plenty of good vids on utube but the tips I’ve suggested not always covered.
Der Teufel ua-cam.com/video/uwenLKHZMp0/v-deo.html Read the comments as well. This is enough info to do a great job. I find using the tub mount a great idea but if you have the brake disk on I just use an old tire as a base and do it on the ground - using an old tire raises the brake disk off the ground so you don’t bend or warp it.
Dave,
It’s August 2024, and I just shared this video with a new Ural owner.
Your service videos are 2nd to none in the industry
It is a good idea to listen to your bike while riding, it will usually tell you something needs fixed.
Thanks Dave ... Very helpful information . much appreciated .

Excellent
Heureusement que cette rubrique existe👍
C'est bien d'y avoir pensé 👍👍
Great 👍 video- makes me want to go and buy a Ural!

That trunk lid hinge is crying for something slippery. Thanks for posting this. It was really clear.
Definitely appreciate these instructional videos!!

All the videos on this channel are EXCELLENT! Thank You!
So helpful in preparing my summer long tour..........
Love these service videos. Thank you.
Very well done! I particularly liked your comments on proper torque of the sidecar wheel axle nut.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work on this series.
Thanks, will do!
I keep a chunk of 2x4 and wedge it under the sidecar frame while on the center stand to get the sidecar tire off the ground

Can you stow the spare wheel with a spare brake disc on it? or will it then not fit? Another great video thanks!

Fritz Thecat yikes - haven’t encountered splints - what are they.

Oh a cotter pin ?
Another useful vid...thx. Would love a discussion of cT vs GU on drivability.... 18 vs 19"
I second this request.
Noted! This is a really good topic to cover.
Great video. Helps a lot to see it done in real time👍
Glad to hear it!
Great video as always. Have you made the front tire replacement?
Excellent presentations, simple and to the point, thanks !!
Generic vehicle brand: "if you disconnect the battery cable we void your warranty"
Ural: "here, go fix by yourself, you're not a kid"
I have a set of ratcheting box end wrenches, nice!
Great video! When we'll see the SPARE INSTALLATION / FRONT POSITION....?
Probably within the next few videos that will be covered.
@@UralMotorcyclesOfficial Ok, as soon as possible!!! Thanks!
Great video! What brand of jack were you using? Looks like a perfect size.
