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 Solo motorcycle, IMZ-8.123, the motorcycle with
sidecar accessory, IMZ-8.103-40 (Tourist) and IMZ-8.103-10
(Deco Classic and Italia Classic "Cruiser"s) and the motorcycle
with a driven sidecar wheel, IMZ-8.107 (Sportsman). Whenever
reference is made to the motorcycle with the sidecar accessory,
for brevity it is referred to as the "sidecar motorcycle."

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 Accessory" 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 59
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 649cc
engine, it is not a speed demon. The URAL Rugged Classics' top
speed is 65 mph and the Cruiser Classics' is 74 mph with cruising
speeds of 55 & 65 mph respectively BUT only after faithful
adherence to the break-in period detailed on page 16 of this
manual.

If you are a vintage enthusiast, collector, local commuter, hunter,
fisherman, have children, grandchildren or dog that likes to ride, or
