URAL Classic Motorcycles

Owner’s Manual

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 Tourist, BC-75 LC-75 Adirondac, and Patrol.
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” 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.
