Breakdown in Warsaw - looking for help and F650GS (2002 single) fan
 

Me and my girlfriend (also fairly fluent in Polish language) are stuck in Warsaw due to a fan failure on a BWM F650GS 2002. Out on a ~2,5 month journey on our way to Italy/Balkans. Tropical heat here and apparently the hottest day in Warsaw 21st century.
Will have to stay some days to sort spares, or build a temporary solution, depending on BMW spare part delivery time (will know more tomorrow when they are open).

Looking for:
1. Someone willing to sell a F650GS (2002) fan*(BMW part 17 42 8 528 784). Its easily removed.

2. Accommodation and safe storage for two bikes in Warsaw area, and a place for some more fault finding on the cooling system. Gladly pay for it. Camping in this heat is hideous, our ability to move in urban areas are limited due to the heat and the bike overheating quickly.

Currently exploring alternatives, dropping posts on some forums and browsing alternatives for cheap accommodation/bike storage. Any help very appreciated.

Hi,
If your still in trouble, shoot me a PM.
Parts can be sourced here and getting them to you should not be an issue.

Thank you for your reply. We have got good feedback on the Polish F650GS forum and found a used one for sale, but high milage. Hopefully BMW can ship us a new one quickly also. Will know on Monday. Sorting accommodation. Damn heat is a hassle, +38 today here.

Hi,
I have answered to you by an e-mail, giving my phone number, please call, or send me yours, I will call.
It will be my pleasure if I could help with an accomodation or/and GS repair.

Saved, for now at least, by very helpful Polish people! Found a used fan about total of 4 hour ride away that we can pick up tomorrow. Will check BMW delivery time tomorrow, or build a custom one at our temporary accommodation at a friendly Polish biker.

If you ever break down, Warsaw is the place to be.

If someone still has the relevant fan parts in Warsaw-area, please drop a message.
