Tires in Venezuela
 

Can anyone tell me where I can get rear tires for a Suzuki DL650 Vstrom in Venezuela? I would prefer not to have to go in to Caracas if at all possible. If not how about northern Brazil?

I will be going from Merida to the coast and then down to Manaus in Brazil where I will get a boat to Belem. Then I think that I will try to stick to the coast. I will need tires within the next 5000kms.

So if you can make to Manaus you wont have a problem finding good tires and good service there... it is a major city in the middle of the jungle, but it is civilized.... don't forget to try the fish from the Amazon river.... they are really good.

Have a safe ride and if you have any question regarding Brazil shoot me an e-mail that I will try to help the best way I can...

Caracas is not so bad.
 

If you ride into Caracas you can find at any bike-shop (and there are many) the right tires.
You can also try to Email this man: mgerrits at cantv net (replace the space with a point and the at with a at). he is a dutch guy who imports stuff. If he is still there he can help you.

Hey Free spirit. I'm here in Puerto la Cruz Venezuela and have an extra back tire for my f650 (same size as you need? 19inch I think) with pretty good tread you can have if you think your tire won't make it to Manous.

email me if you want it.
also I am heading to Manaus June 1.. you will probably be already on your way by then, but just in case you're in the neighborhood and would like company, let me know.
