ENGINE RUN-IN
During the first 1000 km/620 miles it is important not to overload or over rev the engine
while riding. To ensure proper break-in you should ride the motorcycle conservatively at
varying speeds and loads. Use the following guidelines during the first 1000 km/620
prior to the initial break-in service: miles
1. Do not overload or “lug” the engine.
2. Do not exceed a top speed beyond 105 km/h / 65 mph.
3. Do not ride at a constant rpm for long periods of time.
4. Try to vary speed and load when riding.
5. Shift smoothly between gears and do not down shift at high rpm.
6. Always be sure the engine is warmed up before riding.
7. Follow the pre-ride inspection.
MOTORCYCLE USE AND LOADING
Here are few things to consider for the best experience while planning and preparing
your sidecar outfit for a trip. Remember, sidecars and their handling characteristics
differ from their two wheeled counterparts.
Air cooled - Heat is detrimental to air cooled engines. When planning for a ride,
consider a few factors before choosing your route.
What is the ambient temperature?
Will I have a passenger or additional payload?
What is the best route for the speed I will be able to maintain?
External Temperature – Keep in mind how maintaining high rates of speed or carrying
additional cargo can affect the temperature of the motor. Planning ahead while riding in
warmer temperatures or with added payload will lessen the likelihood of encountering
an unexpected change of plans.
High Speed – Urals are geared and tuned for off road use while providing the capability
of long-distance travel. The ability to do both restricts maximum speed. Maintaining
max speeds all day can be taxing on the drivetrain. Plan ahead to arrive on time to your
destination.
