new tires and a place to mantain my Beemer

I´m just about to sort out where in Japan I could get new tires and work a little on my bike and buy some motor and fork oil.
It´s just a quick motor and fork oil change without filter, and new tires.
I want to do the oil changes by myself, but would need a place to do it. The tires should be done by a tire shop for bike tires. (preferebly one with a telefix adaptor tool for BMW or Ducati rear tires for balancing)
Any suggestions?
I will arrive from Sakaiminato.

Actually it would be good enough to just change the oil (as i still ride with some weird mix from russia in it), and new road or enduro tires ...
I looked the whole evening but couldn´t find anything helpful in the net.

Oil etc

Herbert,

question: did you get everything you need?

If not, where are you now?

Hi Klaus,
everything was sorted, quite expensive but with best service.
My bike is parked in Nagoya, where I meet my wife.
We headed north and are now in Yamanouchi (monkey park). We stay at a Ryokan with attached Dojo. My wife was shooting already several times and it´s just perfect here.
Tommorrow we start to Niigita for the Hokkaido ferry. In Hokkaido we will stay untill 23rd aug. and then pick up my daughter in Tokyo, then go to Kyoto and Hiroshima.
I´m still looking for a shipment for my bike either to germany (in that case I´ll buy a bike in Malaysia and sell it after my travel), or to Malaysia, and then ship it from there or ride it back home.
As Myanmar and Thailand are both difficult with own bike, it may be better to send it home and continue on a malaysian registered bike. All this I´m just starting to sort out.
All the nice pictures and texts are here: KurvenFiebersReisen.Blogspot.JP

cheers Herbert
