Bike mechanic in Tbilisi, Georgia?
 

Hi folks,

We have some problems with our 2013 Triumph Tiger 800XC (stopped accelerating while riding, doesn't start anymore at all, no spark on spark plugs)

The threads in here about mechanics in Tbilisi seam at least 4 years old.

Next help would be reading out error codes from the ECU, but seems we are lacking of an odb2 cable and software to read it out. The bike is currently diagnosed by bikeland.

We tried getting in contact with the well known Niko as shown in many threads here, also with Dr. Jack, but seem not to get anywhere. KTM Georgia seems a German operated tour organizer.

Can you recommend another bike shop or (car??) service station that may have right diagnostic tools?

Thanks much in advance! We are riding from Singapore to Germany, so far more than 29.000km, for Charity and are stuck here for the 3rd day already.

Sebastian

Nika is unfortunately no longer the man to talk to when it comes to repairs. I managed to reach him one time, and it seemed like he was having some difficult emotional problems, and no work actually was ever completed. After our first meeting I never managed to get a hold of him again.

I took my motorcycle to a man named Zuka. Absolutely stand up guy. Sent me photos of his work while he was working, gave me the old parts, he has the tools and knowledge to do everything you need. Has torque wrenches and knows how to use them. Speaks perfect english. Just make sure you have the parts.

I had him complete the following

Has nitrogen and can rebuild rear shocks
Experience with full disassembly and maintenance of forks
Knows guys who do engine work correctly (I had an entire set of valves replaced because of a screwup on my end and a water pump replaced)
Goes above and beyond to fix things he finds while he is working (replacing a few oil line hoseclamps because of a minor leak)

I will report back on how his repairs hold up

I'm sorry to learn about this Stoep. Niko provided a fab m/c repair service when my bike needed some work in Tbilisi during 2014.

We became friends as a result - and have kept in touch ever since. Having said that, Niko has 'gone quiet' of late. You news update explains why this may have happened.

I shall contact him.

Thanks for the heads-up.
