When I get ready to ride, especially if it’s been a few days, I always give the Ural a quick lookover. Usually I’ll check the tire pressure, and sometimes the oil (but not every time). Given this post below, I’ll keep somewhat of an eye on the fuel lines. That said, this is the first time I’ve read about something like that happening, so I’m not going to lose any sleep over it.

“I finally traced the leak to the small fuel line running to the carb. Apparently the hose clamp had loosened and allowed the line to come partially detached letting fuel flow everywhere. So when doing your rig check-ups, everyone might want to add the hose clamps of the fuel system to their list as apparently these can become loose from vibrations also”
