A quick cold start video. The off road mapping in combination with the EJK Tuner is a great combo! Idles super smooth hot or cold and there is a noticeable increase in pep across the throttle range. No hiccups, decel popping etc. A whole different beast compared to the ultra lean stock...

Glad you like following my posts and that I can share some helpful tips....sharing ideas is what it's all about :) Hodakaguy

Went out yesterday with the kiddo and put on 65 fun miles. Here I stopped to snap a pic of the bike with the Hanford Nuclear Reactor humming along in the background....making that power! We also found out that the low fuel light doesn't work :D. I always reset the trip odometer at each...

Continued from above.... And Now....... "How NOT to" add vacuum ports to your throttle bodies. I wanted to post this section to help others and hopefully prevent some headache for those who also want to add vacuum ports to their throttle bodies. Originally I purchased a couple vacuum...

Continued from above.... Next up I drilled out a couple 1/4-28 grease zerk fittings to make some small vacuum ports. I installed the vacuum ports into the throttle bodies using Loctite 243 With the throttle bodies back on the bike all that was left to do was to hook up the...

Next up.....How To (And How NOT To) add vacuum ports to your throttle bodies :D The first GEN EFI throttle bodies on Urals are balanced via the dealer computer through the OBD Port on the bike. Since balancing throttle bodies is something you need to do on a regular basis that means you either...

Next up....Crank Case Vent Mod I'm starting to modify the throttle bodies to accept vacuum ports (More on that soon) and while I was in there decided to remove the crank case breather line from the air box. The OEM breather line leaves the crank case and enters the air box under the air filter...

Next up....Fuel. Just like most modern vehicles the Ural comes from the factory very lean to meet emissions requirements. The bike stumbles at idle and occasionally pops and hiccups while riding. It's very difficult to ride through a parking lot in first gear as the bike lurches and hiccups...

Wired up my heated gear and attached the wireless heat controller via a RAM mount to the bars. Heated gear has to be one of the best riding accessories made! Cruising around and running errands, Kiddo loves riding in the hack. Here were stopped and Grandmas house for a visit...

Picked up a new (to me) 2018 Ural Gear Up with 57 miles on the clock, previous owner got sick and couldn't ride it. Been sitting for two years and barely ran when I went to test drive it, opened up the tank and was hit in the face with a strong Varnish smell. Once home I drained the fuel...

Haven't posted in a while as I got side tracked :-). More to come on the van soon. Picked up a low mile used 2018 Ural Gear Up. Years ago I drove a BMW R69S with a Steib LS-200 hack and racked up a ton of miles on it over a couple year period. Feels great to be back on 3 wheels again and...

Here's a video I took on the way home from our recent 4k mile trip as we explored the historic abandoned Shirk ranch. Pictures of the trip coming soon Hodakaguy

Continued from above.... New propshaft bolts. These bolts are tightened to stretch and can't be re-used. The propshaft bolts are first torqued to 15nm then tightened an additional 90 deg of rotation. Wheels back on and torqued to 177 ft/lbs. Diff filled with Redline...

Continued from above.... Using a puller to remove the flange, not a lot of pressure is needed which was good since this was a poor puller and the only one I had on hand that would work :-) Now we get a look at the old seal.....yep a piece of plastic stuck in the seal and caused the...

Continued from above.... A few more details....I like labeling :-) Cut some custom stickers for the passenger seat base. Time for Adventure Van Expo! Headed down to St. Helens OR for this years AVE. The event was quite a bit smaller than last year, I'm sure it was due to...

Been quite a while since I've posted. We've put over 5k miles on the van in our travels and have seen some amazing sights, I'll be posting pictures of our travels soon. Here's a few misc photo's to catch the build thread up to date. MY Vanmadegear window covers came in.....super stoked...

Very nice! Love the Stoked Racks!...and the Snork :-) Hodakaguy

Continued from above... Cutting some straps to size and burning the edges to keep them from fraying. All mounted up and super secure. Will make a great place to carry extra gear and will only be used as a porta-potty in emergencies (But nice to have the option). The bag kits are...

Continued from above... Here's a trick for filling DEF. I finally got tired of trying to use the crappy hoses that come with the DEF bottles that always leak and dribble while your using them. I snagged a oil fill hose that fits the DEF bottles perfectly and has a O-ring seal so there are NO...
