Hi Pierre
my wife and I are planning to go to the so called ´stans in summer 2004(excluding the afghani´ and paki´stan).
Within the last fortnight we bought two F 650 Dakar built 2001. Most important to us was riding the same bike (biggest hint on this page).
You said bad fuel and altitude have little effect on the injection.
In Uzbekistan there´s 76 octan I heard. Is that bad enough to make the injection cough?
And in the Pamirs the highest pass is 4650m. Do you know if the injection can cope without some reprogramming (I guess there won´t be a BMW dealer in Tajikistan able to jazz up the EFI).
Deposit: the stock is 17 l. But the price of a 39 l touratech is an outrageous 1.380 €!
Did you pay that price?
The other modifications you did sound reasonable to me. Don´t get me wrong, having a 39l deposit is reasonable but the metioned touratech price is out of our reach
Best regards
Goetz
