Tires are tube-type, using an inner flap between the spokes and inner tube to protect the tube from
damage. Rim locks are not used in the stock configuration. Care should be taken to keep tires properly
inflated. See
Specifications , for correct cold tire inflation pressures.
WARNING: Improper tire inflation will cause abnormal tread wear and could result in unstable
handling. Under inflation will cause tire overheating, and could result in the tire slipping on the
rim. Over inflation reduces traction, and can cause both tire and rim damage. Inflation pressure
should be checked, and the treads inspected for punctures, cuts, breaks, etc., at least weekly if in
daily use, or before each trip, if used occasionally.
WARNING: Riding with excessively worn, unbalanced or improperly inflated tires is hazardous and
will adversely affect traction, steering and handling.
Replacement tires should be the same size, profile, and construction of the original equipment tires,
especially for sidecar use.
Adjustment of wheel bearings.
After 5,000 km run be sure to check the condition and adjustment of the bearings. With the axle nut
tightened, the wheel should be free to rotate without drag or noise, and there should be no lateral play
in the bearings. Wheel bearings are adjusted as follows.
1. Remove the wheel from the motorcycle.
2. Fit the rear wheel axle (less the protective hood), tighten it by nut with the aid of a bushing, 100
mm long, with 21 mm bore and 25 - 30 mm O. D. (or any spacers which will allow the axle nut to
snug up the bearings).
3. Determine whether there is play by turning the axle (but not the wheel on the axle) and rocking it in
the hub.
4. Slacken off the locknut.
5. Screw the seal nut up to the limit, then loosen it by 1/6 - 1/8 of a revolution so that the axle can still
be rotated in the bearings easily but without excessive play or drag.
6. Tighten the locknut securely without disturbing the adjustment of the bearings.
Removing and Reinstalling Wheels
All three wheels on the URAL

are interchangeable.
To remove the front wheel:
1. Set up the motorcycle on the stand and jack up the front wheel by inserting a block or floor jack
under the front part of the motorcycle frame.
2. Slacken off the axle clamp bolt on the left fork leg, and unscrew the front axle. Note: The axle has
left-hand thread.
3. While supporting the wheel, remove the front axle and take the protective cap off the wheel.
4. Remove the front wheel together with the brake drum cover.
5. Separate the wheel from the brake drum cover. Note the position of thrust washers, packings and
hubcap.
To reinstall the front wheel, reverse the sequence of the operations. When mounting the axle, lubricate
it with motor oil or a thin film of grease.
