I can see myself getting some miles out of the dnepr motor on my "16" but in the long run being an irrepressable motor head I just can't get the idea of...
Hi Mike, It's a great conversion, and not too hard to do either! I've done it to one of my Mt11's. There are a number of ways of doing it, but here's how I did...
From the French Ural site - hope the link works OK. It's in French but has a lot of diagrams etc. http://dnepr.ural.free.fr/Adaptation_moteur_BMW.pdf ...
Whats a good way to check if a coil is allright? Someone told me to put a screwdriver in the end of the wire and have someone try to kick the engine over, that...
Thanks to all of you for the responses! It looks like I will start shopping around for an R80 BMW motor to have waiting in the wings. A few more questions...
I would go through the trans if it's 2nd hand. You don't know what's inside. My Ural had rusted bearings. Trouble with cheap bikes is that they attract...
I would put new bearings in if were a new 'box! The ones they come with are terrible! it is not a difficult job to do. Not sure what the spares situation is...
Chris; don't want to put you down, but if you are short on wrenching time and experience, get a bit of help from someone who is competant, that advice ,as I...

When sharply increasing throtle,rapid knocking is heard in carburetors.I have raised needle jet all the way up.Main jet 165.I am running it with stock...
First let me say that finding this group has saved my relationship... with my rig. I was bordering on the edge of letting her go, but since I have found other...
I own 2 Dnepr's both have had some strange knocks. The camshaft sliding from front to rear (loose press fit on front cam bearing) was the hardest to find. The...
I'm assuming an MT11 or 16. 2nd gear is a long way to go down. Sounds like your carbs might still have the Restrictor pins in, you can check this by removing...
The k-65 carbs on my "16" have slides that are made out of bent sheet metal if the U shape of the slide is not bent to just the right width they rattle in the...
I took the Neep out for a ride today happy to have the charging problem sorted When the oil light came on. Oh well...... I hooked a pressure gauge up in place...
Very low oil pressure....Best not run the engine again until you find out what causes it....Take the spark plugs out and test it while hand cranking as it...

Hi Stephen.....Very possible the spark advance mechanism is sticking and not fully moving....Years ago I got a shipment of these parts with points and ...
I've heard that the factory timing marks on the flywheel are not always accurate, has anyone checked and found theirs is wrong? I'm used to checking advance,...
Oil pressure problem: sorting this out: One shud not confuse the standard kick start Mt-11 engine with the later electric start/ external oil filter model. The...
Ken and LLoyd, Thank you so much for your help with this! After I do some tear down and poking around I may have a few more questions. With the fall...
The slides are easy to bend, too. If you have trouble setting the idle or syncing the carbs, you might have bent the slide just a little (ie. holding the...
I had heard the same, so when I had my heads off, I brought the piston to TDC and checked the inspection hole. A flywheel mark was visible. I then backed the...
I got a chance to pull the timing cover this morning and wanted to share with the group what I found. Sure enough it was the hollow pressure feed bolt on the...
I have seen that website. Goldthorpe had a conversion kit available from Ural of Europe to transfer a Beemer /8 or /5 to the Dnepr. It was pricey item about...
