Good parts shops Istanbul
 

Hi folks,
Today the chain on my bike snapped entailing a 13km push in the mid-day sun to find someone with a centre punch. The chain was only 5 days old and replaced my OEM one which disintegrated 6 days ago. It was the only one available and looked like it was for the local 125s and therefore a bit puny but I had hoped it would get me home.
Anyway to cut a long story short I need to fınd someone in Istanbul who deals in big bikes and therefore beefy chains. Help me please!
Matt

You may already know about the bike shops (mostly accessories, but some parts) in the back streets near where the ferries leave for Kadikoy (on the Sultanahmet side). I can't recall seeing any spares for large bikes, but if they don't have what you're after, they might point you in the right direction.

seanh probably means Gencmoto (if it still exists), the main shop is in Beshiktash on a main street (easy to find)

yes, Gencmoto (you pronounce it Geshmoto) will have a chain for you that gets you back home. buy the best chain they have, because they used to sell a lot crap. And ask about the price before, if they fit it ...

good luck

I believe there is a BMW dealer in Istanbul. Can anyone give me the address?

Also, do BMWs and Japanese bikes use the same type of chain? (Specifically Yamahas)

Thanks for the info so far.

Done a search on this site for garages in istanbul and found an address from a traveller called Ozhanu which was submitted 4 weeks ago.
He says theres a good mechanic with all sorts of parts for different bikes?

The garage is called pitstop motorbike shop and garage.

Address is Besyol Inonu Cad.Pakten Mutlu sanayi sitesi

Ozhanu has titled his thread as "A good garage in istanbul,Turkey" just in case you want to search this site for his message.

Service for Harley
 

If it is a Harley, best to contact Efsane Motor.
If it is just a chain problem, you may ask to Efsane Motor again for a good technician for Harley.
If it is a BMW, my advice will be something else.
Any trouble, please send me a personal e-mail.
Good Luck,
