Russia in general is not a problem for motorcycle tyres as there are many bikers - therefore many bike shops and facilities. Mongolia and Uzbekistan were specifically mentioned at the start of this thread, and there are very few bikers in those places, therfore a shortage of support functions for bikers.

If you are carrying your own tyres, any car tyre changing place will be able to swap them over, in any country.

^ Good place and good people, some English spoken.

You could also try FreeRider.kz or speak to Marat at Silkoffroad -motorcycle tours and rent in Central Asia

Almaty is certainly the best place to be looking in central Asia. The BMW dealer is still utterly useless though unless you want a 4x4 with tinted windows.

The both statement are true ) BMW mottorad was opened officially only few months ago. And the service not great there (rumors). Freerider have tires in stock (may be KTM as well) when other repair centers only working by preorder.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
