Inside Back Cover 5 6 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the URAL Motorcycling Family! Your new Ural motorcycle conforms to all applicable US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and US Environmental Protection Agency regulations effective on the date of manufacture. This manual covers the Tourist, BC-75 LC-75 Adirondac, and Patrol. This manual has been prepared to acquaint you with the operation, care and maintenance of your motorcycle, and to provide you with important safety information. Follow these instructions carefully for maximum motorcycle performance and for your personal motorcycling safety and pleasure. Please pay particular attention to the section "Learning to Ride the Ural Motorcycle with Sidecar" and the separate manual "Driving the Ural Sidecar Motorcycle." It is critical that a beginning sidecar driver becomes thoroughly familiar with the special operating characteristics of sidecar outfits before venturing out on the roads. Your Owner's Manual contains instructions for operation, maintenance and minor repairs. Major repairs require the attention of a skilled mechanic and the use of special tools and equipment. Your Authorized Ural Dealer and Ural certified Service Center has the facilities, experience and genuine Ural parts necessary to properly render this valuable service. The Ural represents an important piece of German and Russian history since it has been continually manufactured with the same general arrangement and outward appearance for the past 60 years after Russian engineers initially copied the BMW's of 1939. It truly is an "instant antique" as many of our owners have said. Since the Ural weighs 700 lb. empty with the attached sidecar, has a large frontal area and is powered by an old fashioned 745cc engine, it is not a fast motorcycle. The Ural Tourists' top speed is 65 mph with a cruising speedsof 55 mph but only after faithful adherence to the break-in period. If you are a vintage enthusiast, collector, local commuter, hunter, fisherman, have children, grandchildren or a dog that likes to ride, or you just like to be noticed on a rig that draws a crowd wherever you park, welcome aboard! The classic boxer twin has a German heritage. So effective, simple and powerful is this design that Porsche, Volkswagen, and even Harley (during the war with the XA model) made this design their choice. The reliability and torque of this elegant motor is due to its original design in 1912 by Max Friz, a brilliant German aircraft-engine builder. He devised a compact and rugged engine that delivered significant torque for its displacement, at low and constant rpms, without the gyro effects of other twins. The military and civilian uses became legendary. The German motorbike builder BMW, began sing the design in their motorcycles in 1922. Because of its opposed cylinder layout the "Boxer" as it was dubbed, turns the crankshaft in line with the motorcycle (or airplane!). This allows for a straight-through shaft connection from the engine, through the 7 gearbox and through a stainless steel driveshaft to a rear wheel final drive gear in the wheel hub. This drivetrain design is exactly like the millions of rear wheel drive automobiles built over the past eighty years! It is a time tested, proven drive system made elegantly simple by the "Boxer" opposed cylinder engine. Today the "Boxer" engine has evolved into the high tech and electronically sophisticated and complicated versions that can be found not only in BMWs but also in Porsches, Hondas and others. These are wondrous engines at wondrous prices! But they still retain the basic "soul" of Max Friz's first engines. And although it is not as evolved as the most modern "boxers", the IMZ 750 cc is true to the earlier versions in looks, but also has many modern internal components. These parts, like pistons, rings, valves, valve seats and oil seals are modern and western made. The carburetors are made in Japan. These parts make the engine more reliable and cleaner. However, the "boxer" is still an air cooled power plant. As such it must be carefully monitored during operation to prevent overheating. As the gear making and other machine tools in the Ural plant are "vintage" ones, a careful break-in of the engine is very important. Neglecting to follow the prescribed speeds during break-in or the frequent oil changes will cause this wonderful engine to rebel against its "abusing" owner. However, by treating the "boxer" with respect and raising it well, you will be rewarded! So its true that sometimes simple is better, and old fashioned ideas and designs have strong reasons for the ability to continue for a long time. It is the main reason why over millions of Urals have been sold around the world. Any suggestions or comments are welcome! Write to us or post an e-mail on the Ural Discussion bulletin board at www.ural.com. Happy Riding! 8 Important Notice! Statements in this manual preceded by the following words are of special importance: WARNING: CAUTION: NOTE: MEANS THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL YOURSELF OR OTHERS. INJURY TO Means there is the possibility of damage to the vehicle. Other information of particular importance has been placed in italic type. CAUTION! During the initial 2,500 km, a fundamental bedding-in of parts for all the mechanisms of the motorcycle takes place. During this period do not overload the engine or race the motorcycle in excess of the speeds specified in the section "Running-In of New Motorcycle." Doing so will void the warranty. Maintenance intervals recommended are based on operational experience under various climatic and road conditions. However, these intervals may be extended or reduced following repeated checks of the lubricant condition and general technical condition of the motorcycle. Carefully study this Owner's Manual before starting the motorcycle. Specifications and design are subject to change without notice. 9 10 Chapter 1 SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL Tourist, Patrol & Adirondac 120 km/h 74 mph 12.5 km/L 29 mpg 700 lb 500 lb. / 485 lb. below 80db BC-75 & LC-75 120 km/h 74 mph 14 km/L 33 mpg 680 lb. 400 lb.

When the clutch lever is squeezed, the engine is disengaged from the gearbox. When the lever is released, the engine and gearbox are engaged. WARNING: MAKE SURE FINGERS ARE NOT POSITIONED BETWEEN HAND CONTROL LEVERS AND HANDLEBAR GRIPS OR OPERATION OF VEHICLE COULD BE IMPAIRED. WARNING: BEFORE STARTING ENGINE, ALWAYS SHIFT TRANSMISSION TO NEUTRAL TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL MOVEMENT WHICH COULD CAUSE POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO MOTORCYCLE AND PERSONAL INJURY. Front brake control lever (Fig.1, #5). When the lever is squeezed, the front wheel brake is actuated. The front brake should be used together with rear brake. When the brake lever is squeezed, the stop signal lamps are switched on. Kick lever (Fig.1, #11) is designed to start the engine. On pressing the lever the crankshaft of the engine is actuated through the gearbox. The lever is returned to its initial position by the spring inside the gearbox. Note: this is a backup to the electric starter. Gear shift foot pedal (Fig.1, #12) is a two-arm type. When the front arm is pressed, shifting from high to lower gears takes place. When the rear arm is pressed, shifting from low to higher gears takes place. Since the heel-toe shift lever is short-coupled, you will find it easier to shift up if you rotate the heel of your left foot in towards the rear arm before stepping on it with your heel. The neutral position is fixed between the I and II gears. IMPORTANT! The green pilot lamp glows when the transmission is in neutral and when the reverse gear is engaged (see "Starting the Engine"). Reverse gear engagement lever (Fig.1, #10) Forward for neutral and/or forward running and back for reverse. The reverse gear may be engaged only after the motorcycle is completely stopped! To engage reverse gear, shift into neutral (or first), then push back the reverse lever. To disengage the reverse gear, press lever up (forward) to the limit, then the gear shift mechanism is reset to the neutral position. Now you can shift into first gear. If desired, neutral may be selected by shifting into reverse when the first gear is engaged, and then moving the reverse gear lever forward into neutral. 16 The rear brake pedal (Fig.1, #9) applies the rear wheel and sidecar wheel brakes simultaneously. WARNING: DO NOT APPLY EITHER BRAKE STRONGLY ENOUGH TO LOCK THE WHEELS BECAUSE THIS MAY CAUSE POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE. ALWAYS USE BOTH BRAKES. NEVER STOP WITH FRONT OR REAR BRAKE ONLY. WARNING: AN IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED REAR BRAKE PEDAL COULD INTERFERE WITH PROPER REAR BRAKE OPERATION RESULTING IN POOR BRAKE ACTION. Ignition Switch (Fig.1, # 19) has three fixed positions of the key. The position and switching diagram of the ignition locks are shown above. Tourist, Patrol Adirondac & LC-75 Off Run Parking Unused All electrical systems are off. Voltage is supplied to all electrical systems. Voltage is supplied to running lights only. All electrical systems are off. BC-75 Note: Leaving the key in the Run or Parking position will discharge the battery. Always return the key to the Off position before taking it out. Speedometer is on the dash board, with trip (Note..BC-75 has no trip odometer) and total odometer. The trip odometer is reset to zero by rotating push-button (Fig.1, # 3) counterclockwise. Note that the odometer reads in kilometers not miles. 17 The indicator lamps are mounted on the instrument board: (Fig. 1, # 2) -- turn indicator pilot lamp, (orange) (Fig. 1, # 4) -- gearbox neutral and reverse gear engagement, (green) (Fig. 1, # 18) -- head lamp high beam indicator, (dark blue) (Fig. 1, # 20) -- alternator fault indicator lamp, (red) Note: If the red alternator fault light stays on continuously during normal operation above approximately 1500 RPM, there is a problem with the charging system or battery. Throttle Control (Fig.1, # 6) is on the right handlebar. Turning the twist grip counterclockwise increases engine speed. Ignition Cutoff Switch (Fig.1, # 7) has two positions, ignition off (up), and ignition on (down). Low and High Beam Light Switch (Fig.1, # 15), turn indicator switch (Fig.1, #13) and horn push-button (Fig.1, # 14) are combined in one unit on the left-hand handle bar control housing. Master Battery Switch (Fig.1, # 21) is under the seat. Electric Start Button (Fig. 1, # 8) is located on the right-hand twist grip, below the kill switch. The Steering Damper absorbs lateral kicks on the front wheel. Turning tightening bolt (Fig.1, # 17) clockwise increases friction. This can be used while riding over bad roads. WARNING: DO NOT TIGHTEN THE DAMPER TO THE POINT WHERE THE STEERING BECOMES STIFF. DOING SO WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT HANDLING QUALITIES. Parking brake (Fig. 1, # 22) is located on the right side of the motorcycle next to the foot peg. It is engaged by applying the foot brake pedal fully and turning the handle and pushing it down to hold the foot brake lever in the applied position. Always disengage the parking brake before moving the motorcycle. 18 Chapter 3 ENGINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PRE-TRIP PRELIMINARIES Before each trip, attend to all the requirements of the everyday maintenance as outlined in this manual. When adding fuel and oil to the motorcycle, take all precautions to keep everything neat and clean. Gasoline level in the tank fully filled should be 10 - 15 mm / ½ - ¾ in. below the lower edge of the tank filler. Do not overfill the tank, especially on California models where overfilling can cause fuel contamination of the charcoal cannister. See that the oil level in the engine crankcase is not higher than the top and not lower than the bottom marks on the dipstick with the filler plug undone.(See chapter 4 Lubrication System) CAUTION: When draining and refilling oil , be careful that dirt and debris does not contaminate the fresh oil. Do not allow draining oil to get on the rear wheel, tire, or brake components. STARTING THE ENGINE WARNING: BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE, MAKE SURE THAT THE GEAR SHIFT MECHANISM IS IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION (BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS) TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL MOVEMENT WHICH COULD CAUSE POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO MOTORCYCLE AND PERSONAL INJURY. ( FOR MORE THAN JUST STARTING, I.E. IDLING, IT IS ADVISABLE TO USE NEUTRAL GEAR.) When the ignition is switched on, the green & red lamps on the instrument board should light up. Make sure that the reverse gear engagement (lever) is set to the front position. This is important since the green lamp will also be lit if the motorcycle is in reverse gear. Moving the reverse gear lever forward will put the gearbox in neutral. Gasoline petcock positions are as follows: OFF ON RESERVE 19 Depending on the engine and ambient temperature, use the carburetor enricheners and starting procedure as follows: Manual Starting (without electric starter) 1. Turn on the ignition and depress the kick lever (see Fig. 1) about 1/4 of its travel (enough to firmly get the ball of your foot on the lever) with either your left foot or right foot, depending on what position is most comfortable with your right hand on the throttle. Take up the slack in the throttle until you can feel some slight resistance from the return springs in the carburetors. However, do not advance the throttle, since this may flood the engine. Note: You may find it more comfortable to stand on the left passenger foot peg with your right foot and kick with your left foot. Give the kick lever a swift kick. When the engine starts, tickle the throttle (quickly increase and decrease it) to keep the engine running, but not too fast. If the engine doesn't start, repeat the kicking procedure. A properly adjusted warm engine should start within a few kicks. If the engine doesn't start, try the procedure described below in item 3. If it still doesn't start or fire, it may be flooded. Note: Do not open the throttle while kicking the engine over since it may flood the spark plugs. Electric Starting 1. Set carburetor enricheners as with kick starting. Unlike manual starting, however, the gearbox does not have to be in neutral as the electric starter may be engaged with the clutch lever pulled in, or with the gearbox in neutral. Make sure the Ignition Cutoff Switch is set to " Ignition On" and push the starter button to turn over the engine. 2. When the engine has been standing for several hours but the ambient temperature is high (60°F/15°C degrees or above), try starting it without any enricheners. If it doesn't fire, then use the procedure described below. 3. When the engine is cool or cold and the ambient temperature is between40°F-60°F/5°C15°C, depress both enricheners to start. As soon as the engine starts, immediately retract the enricheners. Run the engine at moderate speed for 30-60 seconds. If it starts to die, blip the twist grip throttle (rapidly twist part way towards full throttle and then back off) to keep the engine running. After 1 to 3 minutes, depending on ambient temperature, the engine should run smoothly without "blipping" the throttle. 4. If the engine is cold and ambient temperature is below 40°F, first, give the engine 5-10 (depending on how cold it is) priming kicks with the ignition off. This will get some oil circulated to key internal parts. Engage the enricheners on both carburetors. The engine should 20
