This might be a stupid question but do you have to take a written test during the 16 hours of class time?

Thanks for asking but I genuinely do not remember! If I did, it was the easiest thing in the world, and would have gone over stuff we talked about moments before. I'm a bad test taker so really hate them, and it must not have been bad enough to even remember. XD

I did this and it still leaks, any ideas?. I think the crossover tube might be bad.

@bikerbobcat 18 күн бұрын

If you replaced both gaskets and it still leaks I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe the gaskets just didn't seat right? I'd get another pair of new gaskets and try one more time, just in case the old ones are damaged somehow. I think getting that tube out would require taking the engine apart because you'd have to separate the cylinders since the tube is too long to just slide out whole. Good luck, I'm sorry. :/

Not a good review. Every video about the Ural says it's unreliable but, no one says why. So tell me...electrical, mechanical, fuel, abuse, skipping regular maintenance, what?? I know many that have had no problem with their Ural with over 30K miles. Of course, they don't do stupid shit on the bike either. Modelled after the 1938 BMW R-71. These 85 year old designed bikes require constant maintenance. Filters, greasing, oil changes, adjustments, etc. These were designed for men in combat who were self reliant. Carrying men, heavy loads and towing small trailers/canon were the Military requirements. Not comfort. These are not bikes that after 5-7 years are discontinued. No other bike has lasted the test of time than the Ural.

I have a 2014 Gear up, I live in the mountains of PA and so far it has been a blast. Mine likes 55-65 mph, I use the speedometer on my GPS because the motorcycle speedo is horribly inaccurate. The key to loose or muddy terrain is a little more speed. I can get a campstove, sleeping bag, sleep mat, and dishes in the trunk, leaving the sidecar open for a passenger or my pup. I have been on two wheeled bikes for 40 years, I bought the Ural for camping and grandkids. I have owned it less than a year but I believe it is a keeper. I am too impatient to ride on a very long trip at 60 mph so I will trailer for longer trips. So far I love it. Not being able to run 75 or 80 for sustained periods is the only drawback to the Ural for me. I have heard rumors about a larger displacement engine and a 5 speed gearbox, that would probably be enough of a reason for me to trade up.

@bikerbobcat Ай бұрын

I haven't heard these rumors but gat dang would being able to run 75 sustained would be great without feeling like I'm beating the machine to death. I'm hoping that in the coming wave of electric vehicles they break out the Zero / Ural cooperative model they did the prototype on. You could absolutely get more power out of that and keep a sled full of battery for long distance. I've only been riding 10yr and I love my almost-perfect Valkyrie but frankly the Ural is just more fun. I'm slowly working on a 1k mile review video (everything but baby stuff has been put aside for now) and want to talk about it more. Thanks for watching!

I am a proud and happy owner of a 2018 Classic Retro - which is basicly a CT made to look like the original M72 from WWII. As mentioned by other Ural owners: ride it within its limits and do your regular maintenance and it wont let you down. One thing to be clear about is that it really is a 1940'st o 1960's vehicle at its core, made for 1940's to 1960s traffic. So be prepared to just travel at an average of 10 to 20 % less speed than you are used to. Although my Ural can get up to almost 130 kph if need be, the best speed on motorways is that of the lorries - so 95 kph give or take since you only have 4 gears anyway. If you have to climb up a mountain road with about a 5 to 8% angle, you can switch back a gear and keep 75 kph in third gear or switch to second and go 40 kph if it gets really steep - just remember that your engine is air cooled. Let yourself be overtaken or just learn to occassionally go aside to let the impatient people pass rather than constantly revv the engine up to 4000rpm for hours in the summer heat as I once foolishly did on one of my first travels. One interresting thing though is that often - although I've been dragging a bunch of tailgaiters behind me for a while on my mountain climb with my wife and all the luggage - they still don't seem to be in a hurry when I give way to let them pass. Instead they rather take their time while overtaking just to have a last look at my ride. Almost as if they regret that they now have to move on and leave me behind. 🙂 When you go downhill keep in mind that the quirky braking habits require you to a) break early and carefully and b) use the rear brake more than you might be used to. This leads me to two important safety issues regarding this type of bike: be careful with your brakes in downhill right hand turns - especially descending mountain passes. The tendency to vere left while braking combined with the downward slanted angle of most mountain roads means that you could be carried into oncomming traffic or even beyond the road itself if you misjudge the situation and break too hard. Especially since your normal reaction to a dangerous situation would be to break even harder, which only adds to the problem. It sure surprised me on my first rides. Luckily it was a familiarisation ride late in the evening at an scarcely frequented road so I learned about this vice before it would surprise me while meeting oncomming traffic on this narrow road. The other thing is that plunging your sidecar into the ground (thus lifting the rear wheel of the bike) is by far the most dangerous move since once that is established, it just takes very little before the sidecar flips over. Most lethal accidents that occur with sidecars are due to this. Luckily, one has to yank very hard to the left in order to acchieve that and in most instances of impropper left side steering you would rather make your frontwheel slip sideways rather than putting your sidecar on its nose. But once that happens, there is a big risk, especially for the passenger in the sidecar, to get trapped and crushed by the weight of the bike. Lifting (flying) the sidecar on right hand turns is achieved quite easily and I would advise everyone to at least try that on a parking field a few times to get a feel for it as that situation (unlike the other) is relatively easily controlable and helps the rider getting used to the physics of sidecar riding. ah: still one last thing to add: if you climb a mountain pass that exceeds 2000 meters in altitude, be sure to carry an oxygen mask with you - not for yourself, but for the Ural! Although its named by a famous russian mountain range, it's actually a bike made for the russian tundra. Up to 1900 meters is usually fine, but above that you quickly might find yourself giving full throttle but not exeeding 40 kph in second gear - as once happened to me crossing the summit of the Bernina pass at 2400 m altitude. 😅

I've been a fan of URALS ever since my kids were little and I pulled up next to one at a gas station. The first time I caused somebody else to have UDF... I kept the poor guy talking for 20 minutes. I've seen hundreds of YT videos, test drove them at dealers, go to URAL Demo Days at 2 different dealers. They're impractical, mechanically unreliable (although they're a hell of a lot better than they used to be) and I've have been reading folks on Soviet Steed call them RPOCs for decades. But, heaven help me, I LOVE the damn things. I even have a drawer full of URAL T-shirts and a set of URAL coasters. So why don't I have a URAL? Because, cc for cc, they're the most overpriced motorcycles in the world! I went to the local URAL demo day a couple months ago. New Gear-Ups, after accessories (and ALL dealers throw on a crapload of add-ons) are north of 30 grand. In some cases, way north. For a 750 cc bike you can't take on the freeway and requires 92 octane fuel. If I were wealthy and just wanted a new toy, I'd go for it. But I'm not. Even the used ones are off-the-wall expensive. My local dealer had a 12-year old Patrol that he wanted more than 10 grand for! So I watch YT videos and drool... 😭

First off, thanks so much for watching and commenting. And you're right: It's an over-priced, under-powered donkey. And I love it. It's the dumbest, most expensive thing I've ever bought. The FortNine video on Urals is what really sold me. That said, the absolutely only reason I bought this was because I got a TREMENDOUS deal from Kissell Motorsports in Tyrone, PA. The one I have, with all the upgrades, retails for about $30k brand new. I got it "used" with only 600 miles on it for about $20k. That's still a lot, but it's still got a year under warranty and this particular dealer has treated me really well with service. There's something strangely compelling about that motorcycle. As much as I love my 1800cc Honda Valkyrie, this is arguably more fun to ride.
