2012 Changes and Upgrades
Irbit Motor Works announces the following changes and upgrades to be included on all 2012 models:
CHANGES IN SPECIFICATIONS FOR 2012 MODEL YEAR
ALL MODELS
- Gloss black powder paint replaced with flat black powder paint for frames, swing arms, wheel hubs, luggage racks, handlebars and all other non-body parts
- New flat ignition rotor prevents contact between rotor and pick-up assembly. Ignition timing can still be adjusted by rotating the pick-up bracket.
- Standard 10.9 grade Allen head clutch screws replace the original slot screws. The flywheel and cover thrust plate have been modified to accommodate the new thread pitch and taper. These must be replaced as a set. Original clutch components are still available.
- New front brake reaction link replaces the original bar with bushings. The new tie rod style link uses ball joints at each end and will provide a longer service life. No more rubber or poly bushings needed.
- New one-piece laser cut shift pedal assembly has a cleaner appearance and finish. This also reduces the amount of welded seams.
- The clutch slider will now use a double o-ring for better sealing. The additional o-ring acts as a dust seal preventing damage to the inner most o-ring from dirt and debris.
- The clutch rod arm now uses a standard shoulder bolt in place of the original pin with cotter key.
- The factory made brake linkage forks and pins have been replaced with standard off the shelf parts.
- The castle nut has been replaced with a standard self-locking nut on the flex coupler.
- The valve cover gasket no longer will use the center cross brace, this will help prevent the gasket from pulling in when the valve cover is tightened.
- All wiring is now secured in the fenders using tabs similar to the sidecar fender. This replaces the wiring channel in the rear fender.
- Stainless clamps will be used on the entire exhaust system. These replace the factory made steel clamps. Stainless clamps do not rust and are higher quality, providing a better seal.
- The new brake switch is an electronic, spring-operated switch that is commonly seen throughout the industry. It is manufactured by K&S and can be used as an upgrade on any Ural with the use of a few new parts.

The Retro model will be to the exact same specifications as the 2011 Retro. Black with white pinstripe, luxury package, gas tank shifter, sidecar windshield, etc.
