Old style Urals and sidecars - 12v or 6v?

Hi chaps

Does anyone perchance know if the old school Russian Ural bikes (with the sidecars) run a 12 volt or a 6 volt system? I want to know if heated clothing is going to be possible with one of these bikes.

Thanks so much

I recommend you look at SovietSteeds or RussianIron forums. I have found many answers to my questions there.

I believe ADVrider also has an extensive hack section.

Any of those should be able to give you an answer very fast!!

Ok this is about 1995 models, this is 12 volts
Урал (мотоцикл) — Википедия
and from the site. a quick look all look 12 volts

Модели мотоциклов Урал

about electrical looks like this: 12B = voltage

система электрооборудования — 12 В, генератор 500 Вт
hope this helps

Ural electrics

I think the Ural 650s ran on 6 volts, certainly the earlier models up to 1979, the current 750 outfits (like mine) are 12 v

the problem you may find have with heated clothing is the low output of the original equipment alternators for both 6 and 12 volt unless you have a modern replacement like Japanese Nippon Denso (which I think is now a standard fitment on new Urals)

I wouldn't bank on an OEM fitted alternator being able to give you enough output

an excellent source of info is F2 Morotcycles run by David Angel - he would be someone to ask - see his page#

Ural and Uralmoto electrical spare parts in the UK also
guide to identify Ural motorcycles is helpful

hope this helps
