I had the same thing on my 2022, and the alignment was checked as "Within Spec" at Uralla. Mat suggested an on the fly adjustment wouldn't hurt, done in small increments. So I adjusted the lean out slightly, just one and a half turns on each strut and it made a marked difference. It's still pulling a lot under heavy acceleration, but on an even throttle at 80km/h it's just right. Don't forget, as soon as you add a passenger, that may change.
There are plenty of videos on Youtube about making your own alignment set up. All you need is a 40x40 SHS piece cut down from the standard 6.5 metres into two halves, and a level floor. Oh, and some way of measuring the lean out from the rear disc.

I use a magnetic digital inclinometer on the rear brake disc. Amazon and a few AU auto part stores have them around AUD$45 or cheaper with an internet search. |

The one on your phone, how accurate is it? And do the ones you can buy off Amazon etc, do they read decimals (minutes/seconds) of a degree?
Cheers

You only need to know if your bike lean out is between 0 and 1 degree. It is not hard.

They all pull under acceleration. If it steers straight cruising on a flat road with minimal toe in and lean out then it is correct. I have never set a URAL with ore than 1 degree lean out….usually half. Toe in I measure at the wheel and just 3mm.
You can have them steer ok with more lean out and toe in but tyre wear will be excessive.

They all pull under acceleration. And they all roll back the other way under deceleration, then they all twitch one way under front brakes, another way under rear and a bit of an unpredictable combination under both and a lot of how severe that is depends on the camber of the road. It is an unstable geometry at the best of times. How are your shoulders / Forearms after a days ride? So many input variables that fixing the high speed pull might make the low speed braking horrible. Best thing I ever did was ride a friends Ural because it showed me that mine was tracking fine and all the things I thought might be an issue weren't. |

Andy, you are now well and truly on the upslope of that URAL learning curve……..👍😇
