WHEELS AND TIRES
The Ural motorcycle is equipped with wheels that are easy to remove.
Removing wheels. To remove the front wheel, set the motorcycle onto the center stand, lift it by
the front wheel and put a rest under the front portion of the motorcycle frame. Slacken the nut of
the union bolt at the end-piece base of the fork left-hand leg. Screw out the axle turning it clock-
wise (left-hand thread) and remove the wheel together with the front brake disc.
To reinstall the front wheel on the motorcycle follow the reverse order of the above operations
seeing to it that the brake disc evenly engages with the brake caliper.
To remove the rear wheel of the motorcycle, lift the motorcycle onto the center stand. Undo the rear
wheel axle nut and take it off together with the washer, slacken off the nut on the union bolt of the
left-hand leg of the swinging arm, pull out the rear wheel axle with the help of a wrench bar and
remove the wheel.
To reinstall the wheel on the motorcycle follow the reverse order of operations. Prior to reassem-
bling, wipe the axle and grease it. Fitting the rear axle, turn it as you push it in to avoid jamming.
Care should be taken to keep tires properly inflated. Check before riding when tires are cold. Do
not overinflate tires.
Warning: Never interchange the front for the rear wheels.
WARNING: IMPROPER TIRE INFLATION WILL CAUSE ABNORMAL TREAD WEAR AND COULD RESULT IN UN-
STABLE HANDLING. UNDER-INFLATION COULD RESULT IN THE TIRE SLIPPING ON THE RIM.
