Gotta stomp mine with the heel pedal to shift up. Stomp, just clunks 6 times worse than a Harley. Upshift with the toe, I grind it every time. At least finding neutral ain't too bad.

Saw this today, 1938 BMW R71. Noticed the Russians didn't make an exact copy of BMW, Beemers got heavier metal for the sidecar and attach struts. Didn't get a pic of the motor, has the flathead.

So Ural are not good at shifting. Is that one of the perks or what?

Urals are pretty crude. Straight cut gears, just 4 forward, and little if any transmission change since... the 40's? Except in 2007 they imported better quality gears instead of making them in-house. Guess they don't chip as bad now. Maybe.
