F650gs rider and bike stranded in Russia with blown water pump. suggestions?
 

They are 300km west of Omsk and late on their visa. Anywhere that could store the bike or repair? Even a rider with mechanical skills that could fly in with pump fix and tour as he close to walking away from it...

There are a few HUBB communities located in Russia but you would have to see if there is one near to where ever this bike is (it's a big country!):-

Alternatively, a local bike club might be able to assist in sourcing the parts neeeded; the subject of the F650GS water pump has been discussed in the BMW tech section quite a lot - not so much in the "Travellers Seeking Travellers" which is where you are at present.

It's a bodge but these people did it ...
