URAL Motorcycles CT, Owner'S Manual

 Do mount factory authorised accessories with common sense in logical locations
that avoid weakening substrates or anywhere that would jeopardise chassis
integrity.

Don’t mount accessories in areas that will effect driver control, inhibit or limit
steering function, pull throttle cables, limit brake pedal accessibility, etc.

Don’t mount Jerry cans or other hazardous items to the front area of the sidecar
or anywhere an impact is more likely to create a safety hazard.
Know Your Motorcycle – Be a contentious rider and use your senses to alert you to
potential changes in the performance of the drivetrain; sight, sound, smell, and feel.
 Look at your dipstick, has oil consumption increased? The engine can use 16-26
millilitres of oil every 160 kilometres depending on riding conditions.

Do you hear anything out of the ordinary? Are the brakes squeaking? A good
running Ural has been compared to a sewing machine. If the pitch of the engine
has changed or valve train is making excessive noise, this could be a sign to take
a break and let the engine cool. If the sound continues, further diagnosis will be
required.

Do you smell burnt oil, smoking clutch, rubber, fuel? Any smell that stands out
while riding or while stopped should be investigated to determine the source
and assess the situation.

Have you felt a loss of power, a shudder while stopping or maybe the brake
lever feels different? Any changes that cannot be attributed to road conditions,
wind, etc. should be investigated as soon as is safe to do so.
Know your warranty
- Know the limits of your warranty coverage as outlined in the
owner’s manual.

Purchase a road side assistance program in addition to or separate from your
insurance to cover unexpected towing expenses should they arise.
 Are Ural dealers or service centres available along the chosen route? If no Ural
shops, are there repair facilities that can handle tyre changes, oil changes, etc.
For longer trips, carry Ural specific spares for wear items not covered by warranty like,
oil filters, brake pads, u-joints, etc.
