No, the bike cannot be converted to EFI without the replacement of the engine case, cylinder heads, frame, and wire harness in addition to the EFI components.

The EFI system will automatically compensate for changes in elevation.

The entire sidecar chassis is lower and we have used an 18” wheel and bias profile Heidenau tire to improve the handling for the cT. The cT has been been designed as a "blank canvas", stripped of additional accessories to help customers create a bike specific to their needs. The addition of OEM accessories will not adversely affect the handling of the cT.

To install the motorcycle on the center stand follow these steps:

1. Be sure the engine is completely cool to avoid burns from hot exhaust pipes.

2. Using your hand first, lower the stand and then place your foot on the stand.

3. Lift the rear of the motorcycle while pulling back to place the bike on the stand.

NOTE

The motorcycle is very heavy and we strongly recommend having the assistance of another person while lifting the rear of the motorcycle.

WARNING

Hot exhaust pipes can cause serious burns.

75” long, 22” wide, and 20” tall.

From 700lbs for Ural T to 730lbs for Gear-Up.

The max permissible weight for the Retro and M70 models is 1,140lbs, and for all other sidecar models the gross weight is 1,325lbs.

10′ x 6′

Sidecar models can handle approximately 600lbs including rider and passengers. *Please Note* Do not exceed the maximum permissible weight (as outlined in your model specifications found in the owner’s manual) when fully loaded.

A well maintained carbureted Ural should average around 30MPG. Of course the more cool stuff you add to your Ural to personalize it, or the more supplies you bring—as you ride across country—will adversely affect your bike’s fuel economy. An EFI Ural (2014 model year and on) has significantly better fuel economy, somewhere in the range of 31-37 MPG depending on riding conditions.

It depends on your riding situations. Stock Duro HF 308′s are fine for most on road, and light off road, applications. For a rougher off road experience, and better lasting tire there is the Duro HF 307 and the Heidenau K 37′s. For strictly street riding there are many choices such as Avons. The main thing to remember is the tire has to have a hard sidewall with a 650 lbs. or better weight rating.

If you have a trusted local dealer, in your area, who is willing to go through our pretty straightforward warranty process, you can have work done with them. Have the shop of your choice contact us via e-mail, warranty@imz-ural.com.

Yes, we offer an additional one-year warranty for newly purchased Urals, please contact your dealer for more details.

Yes. Warranty stays with the bike regardless of how many times the ownership changes/or how many people own it. If you are buying a previously loved Ural please fill out the New Owner Form.

No, we do not offer such a trailer here in the United States.

Yes.

Yes, please have your Ural dealer order a new one if needed, and file a warranty claim.

Yes, your Ural comes with the touch up paint, unless it’s a powder coated model (i.e. Ural T).

Yes—when available—from any authorized Ural dealer.

Pre-2013 Urals were painted in European RAL codes, not all RAL codes have a cross-referenced code to USA paint. Any quality auto paint shop should be able to paint match your bike color.
Starting 2013 and on we have been using Sikkens™ paint. Please contact your dealer to obtain the Color Map code for the paint of your Ural.

A good place to start researching rider training is at Evergreen Sidecar/Trike Training, or check our sidecar safety page under the support section of our website.

We recommend the Driving a Sidecar Outfit by David Hough.

Minimum: a pair of spark plugs, clutch cable, a COMPLETE set of throttle cables and splitter, at least one rubber carb manifold, 1 rubber inner tube, a tube patch kit, tire pump manual or electric, small jack, a roll of electrical tape, a roll of duct tape, a bunch of wire ties, a COMPLETE tool kit, some 14 gauge electrical wire (10 ft), fuses, credit card and towing insurance policy never hurt.

UDF: Ural Delay Factor. The Ural Delay Factor is the delay you’ll experience whenever you take your Ural out in public. Regardless of your intent, where you’re headed, or how much time you have, you’ll lern to add in 10-15 minutes minimum to cope with UDF.

Emissary Program: The Emissary Program was born out of the need to deal with the UDF by your fellow, or soon to be fellow, Uralistas. By having brochures or cards—supplied by the Emissary Program— on-hand, you’re able to expedite the process, get people interested, and minimize UDF.

Please send your USPS mailing address to emissary@imz-ural.com and we’ll send you a stack of flyers so you can deal with UDF more efficiently when you need to.

Yes, it can be ordered through any authorized Ural dealer.

No. In this situation, you would have to order an adapter kit from a sidecar specialist.

Yes, but it can be rather expensive, please contact your authorized Ural dealer for more information.

Technically it is entirely possible to remove the sidecar from a Ural. But you need to understand that the handling dynamics of a two-wheeler and a three-wheeler are completely different and each requires different designs. Ural sidecar models are specifically designed to offer the best sidecar handling.

If you are interested in riding solo, then perhaps you should check out the Solo ST.

No, the Solo sT is no longer available.

A Ural solo is designed to be ridden as a solo and we do not recommend adding a sidecar. You can’t attach our sidecar without a significant amount of modification to a solo unit. For example, we would suggest changing the telescoping forks for leading link forks. Metal tabs that hold the sidecar struts would have to be welded onto the frame, adapters would need to be made, the rear brake would have to be changed back to drum—as a disc brake are not designed to withstand the strains of the addition of a sidecar unit—nor does it have a parking brake which is required by law.

We usually recommend 80-100 lbs placed in the passenger footwell of the sidecar.

Yes, give us call and we will give you the 10 cent tour.

At this time we do not provide such assistance due to the complexity of export/import rules and processes in each country.

Unfortunately, IMWA does not have resources to assist customers in individual importation into the U.S. Due to the difficulty (read: red tape), and the time required—with regards to importation and certification of individual bikes—this is something we are unable to help with.

We know it’s a tempting idea, but the answer is nyet. It has to do with importation and registration regulations across the US/Canadian border. When in Canada, buy from a Canadian dealer and when in the US, well… you get the idea.

The short answer is no. The long answer is that Ural motorcycles are not on the approved list for permanent importation from US to Canada. All Urals imported into U.S. meet U.S. safety requirements and all Urals imported into Canada meet Canadian safety requirements. So it is unfortunate but at this time we do not have available resources to assist customers with individual permanent importation of Ural motorcycles from the U.S. to Canada.

We don’t organize factory tours, but here is a company that works closely with the factory and provides tours; Ural Expedition and Tours.

On a VIN that starts with *X8J* the 10th digit indicates the year. If the 10th digit is a letter, then: A=2010, B=2011, C=2012, etc.

No, the machine guns were becoming incredibly hard to import, making the mount unnecessary.

There are no plans to build factory Cross-bike, however our European colleagues came up with a Cross-type sidecar which can be installed on any Ural except Retro and M70 models. You can order this sidecar set up from your dealer but do expect fairly long lead time and a pretty hefty price tag.

These are no longer being produced.

That’s one question we love to answer. As usual the devil is in the details. For instance, the price of a Tourist model has increased from $5,995 in 1993 to $11,799 in 2012. Equipped with a calculator, you will easily find that the price increase did not exceed 3.5% annually. Adjusted for inflation it’s not shocking at all.
