ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
The electrical equipment of the motorcycle includes power supplies, auxiliary instruments and
electric wiring.
Electric power supplies are a battery and an alternator with a built-in rectifier.
A single wire system is used for wiring the electric circuits, i.e. a single wire carries power to the
electrical devices and the frame and engine serve as the second wire (called the “ground”). The
negative pole of the battery is connected to the motorcycle frame through the battery master
switch. The alternator makes electrical contact to the motorcycle engine and frame through its
mounting bolts.
Battery supplies electric power to all the systems of the motorcycle when the engine (and alterna-
tor) have stopped.
An alternator with a built-in rectifier is driven by the engine camshaft driven gear. The alterna-
tor is secured with two studs on the engine crankcase. At the drive side, the alternator cover is so
designed that by turning the alternator on the studs, the backlash adjustment of the gear mesh gap
can be made.
Electric horn. The motorcycle is equipped with a horn which sounds when the ignition is on and
the horn button is pressed. The horn can be tuned for loudest performance with an adjusting
screw located at the rear portion of the horn body.
Headlight. A 7" diameter DOT approved sealed beam headlight is used on the Ural. Adjust it so
that the high-beam is horizontal when the motorcycle is in its normal loaded condition.
The stop light switch is secured on the frame bracket by means of two nuts. If the stop light
either stays on or doesn’t come on, loosen the nuts and adjust the stop light switch position either
up or down on the frame & retighten the two nuts.
