Hi and Welcome.

think you need to either take it back for them to do a decent job or sign it off as lost cause, while looking for some other mech or just teach yourself. id only buy one if you have the intention to want to do the job yourself and for future engine work? personally riding it to deteriorate to terminal isnt a good idea, to strip it now and find out why is a good one, if you keeping the bike you could use/keep the good bits from this one and find a different engine.

Hi and welcome! Nothing wrong with a lower to mid capacity bike. i spent a happy 4yrs on one after dropping straight from a 1000cc.

Agree with CL, sure the ural does have a reverse. fortnine (CAD) did a review on one a bit back but the latest version, at least the Ural has had so long at it in refining it. the only thing is its abit work horse about it, but easier to fix or replace if you need parts. most others are just way beyond eye watering over priced (can-am)even used, old GW/BM, to compromised, most others are still based off a bike with stuff slapped to it (shed job) if you trust the work and finish of it.

some bank accounts have them as part of the policy if you have one that is above the basic, worth a check.

its abig jump, especially when you have little experience (weight, cc and power), lower age, where you live, the type of bike (your looking at the racer end of the scales (mt7 is a hooligan naked) so try something a little more sensible. a good ground anchor and chain set. stick to 250-400cc single or twin cylinder, nothing with zxr and rr type and you should be fine.

hmmmm

well if its

looks like you may have two problems. first as tink says, ride it or if it will "stop" at while parked up with engine rev'd. when it happens, open the fuel cap, if loads of air rushes in and put the cap back on, will the bike start as normal again, ride a bit and if the cycle repeats its the tanks breather hose blocked or more likely trapped when the tank was put back on. the battery thing could be a weak battery or a short happening at the battery terms or wiring loom/connectors would be the first look.

its lost

you can get protected ones (abrasive liner and pads). richa and a lot of the french brands do it as it still popular over there.

well thats one way to kill off a trend when oldies wear it! lol. sorta do but sort of not? depends on its fit and how big is the hood? how tight it is around the neck, how big is the helmet? if it has a large hood, you have a thin neck and small helmet it has all the potential to be a sail.

as

well that will be least of the worries, the options are few as it will essentially be a scooter that needs to mate to the current cvt drive, unless your gonna bodge that too. read as in not worth the effort over finding another engine from a crashed /rotten chassis.

hope

i went to two main spots of the french places between the serious bouts of illness (probably through the water infested with feet, intestines, badly knitted jumpers and badly surveyed houses) outside the rudeness of the supermarket workers (NOOOAAAUUGHH!) and the daft petrol station stance of if youve not got a french issued payment card AT ALL on a weekend of a holiday in any national in the world but especially their own you cant buy owt (fuel especially) in france. only fun things was i remember was telling the worker in simple terms even a pissed up farmer could work out (withe the interpret or of a fluent language family member) what they could expect to happen if they didnt comply to a simple standard procedure i was going to do so they could get their terrible shopping basket back for the next victim....i mean unfortunate over paying customer. a wet grass areas right infront of caravans with hp front and especially rear driven cars to make them look more eco by covering the vans with about a few inches of mud as an act or revenge and amusement from the tyranny of the site. no wonder so many people flock to the bol dor! lol.

wow it beggers how desperate the germans were to have the french in the EU. Holy moly, erm im not gonna say it as its be viewed as northern factory worker filth humour and get banned.

right

wow bit of a shock, obviously glad you made the journey to check. Hope shes better and pottering about again soon! yep real hard work and under valued is nursing profession, people/rando's can be especially terrible.

must

A seaman's land house , one of those yes you could but shouldn't have done. why you gonna put in for an offer?
