Great fun, add mud and rocks and sand! Just serviced our 2023 GU after 10 months and 10,000k going great. PS My wife wanted a seatbelt too but the Ural community we ride with convinced her otherwise :-)

The infamous pontoon mufflers. 😂. You can also scrape the left-side pontoon when flying the chair, ahem. Good job on fleeing the sandtrap.

The sputtering at low speed and off idle could be unbalanced or unevenly adjusted throttle cables. Also there is a rubber tip at the end oh the cable housing that can come off and slide down to interfere with the even pull of the throttle. Yes use premium, ethanol free if possible.

Fun video! A few weeks ago I ran into a guy who restores a 1960' URAL in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. He needs all new rubber parts.

Hello there. I have an Ural Retro Classic from 2018 with the same stuttering issues. First we thought to have found the culprit in the rubber tubes that connect the air filter with the carburetor on each cylinder. Mine were a bit worn out and had some fine fissures but exchanging those did not do much to be honest. Usually, its not a big issue but sometimes the engine starts spluttering when the revs go down to 1500 rpm or below (measured by ear 🙂) and the ride gets annoyingly rocky if not kept above that certain rpm margin. Haven't found the real culprit either. Oil is good. I check occasionally but it basically keeps everything inside just fine. I had leakages after my first 1000 km trip where I chased it down towards the Croatian coast but that was my fault as I constantly revv'd it up on hillclimbs when I was trying to keep up with the rather quick travelling locals and also kept average travelling speed on highways above 100 kph (sometimes up to the max of 125 kph). I guess I had to learn it the costly way that there is just so much heat an aircooled engine can handle in mediteranean climate in the month of July.... Anyway - after a well deserved refit that got fixed. The only thing that remained was that stutter, which I did not observe prior - at least not as noticeable. Greetings from Switzerland and keep posting about your ride. 😃

@@JosipRadnik1 thanks. I use premium gas which helps the sputtering

Sounds like you need to have your valves adjusted you might wanna look at that they could cause your carburetion problem you're having with your bike not wanting to idle at low speed

Thanks. We adjusted and works better. I have a silicone gasket now

Ok that makes much more sense, thank you for clearing that up
