Good tip! But I don't know where that road is. Is it the road that runs beside Karakul Lake in Tajikistan heading towards the Kyrgyz border and Osh? If so do you mean ride from Karakul lake to Osh?
As for the carbs, we will be hiring the bikes and the guy has said he will rejet the carbs and install appropriate sprockets to be able to cope. I have to trust him and take his word for it as he lives there and I guess he knows what he is talking about.
Nice photo by the way!
