INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the URAL Motorcycling Family! Your Ural has been built by the Irbit Motorcycle Factory in
Russia and distributed by Irbit Motorworks of America, the United States affiliate of the Irbit Motorcycle
Factory. The 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 Gear-Up, Patrol, and Tourist models.
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”. It is critical that a
beginning sidecar driver becomes thoroughly familiar with the special operating characteristics of
sidecar outfits before venturing out on the busy 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
IMWA Ural Dealer has the facilities, experience and genuine Ural parts necessary to properly render this
valuable service.
