Russia - Kazakstan - Mongolia
Next sommer im going to ride that route with friend , starting from Finland.
Never been any of those countries before, so here is some guestions: We are going to use cobra m975 PMR radio phones with helmet sets. PMR phones are legal here in europe, but whats the case there in Russia? Going to use trangia cooking set with gas burner. Is it easy to find camping gas bottles, or should i buy multifuel burner for it? Can i buy 130/80-17 and 90/90-21 tires from Russian motorcycle stores?..or do i have to take couple of them from home? |
Obviously your route will have to be Russia - Kazakhstan - Russia - Mongolia.
Regards camping gas, I would avoid it and use a petrol stove like an MSR Dragonfly which can be refuelled anywhere.. Can't help with the other two questions... EO |
About tires - you can buy such sizes in big cities, see f.e. www.motorezina.su. where are you going to buy it?
|
Pmr446 is legal in Russia, no license needed.
|
Glad to answer to other questions, let me know through pm:D

Still not sure about the route. We have only about 5 weeks time to ride , and total km is 15-17.000km...and that takes about 400km / day. One choice would be skip Kazakstan, and drive to Mongolia through Russia via paved roads..and that way we would have couple of days more to spend in Mongolia..but other end..Kazakstan seems to be interesting place so its hard to decide.. We are going to leave Finland as soon as possible at spring, maybe end of april.Going to be there on Mongolia about 7-9 days after that (if we go that straight route). There is going to be some river crossings etc, so is there any routes we should avoid at that time of year? |

Motorezina.ru that you found is a good reliable partner. The Owner, Dean / Denis, is a member of HUBB. his profile is here: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/members/dean-rus Many of us, including me, have bought tyres from him and had them delivered to dealers in cities all over Russia. |
Right, there are different stores.

Hard to decide what tires would be best choise. Total km is going to be about 15-17.000 and idea is to use same front all time, and going to change rear ones on the trip. Original Heidenau K60 would be good choise, but its not available anymore. Newer scout / silica models are softer than first model(i've heard), and rear tire wont last 9000km ?
Any suggestions? |
What's your bike?
What Russian cities (4-5) are you going visit? |
No, the scout last usually longer, and I personally would recommend them ( or similar ) for the russia ride.
Personally I will always use good Offroad tires for Mongolia. Something like Mitas E09, TKC80 or similar... |
Bike is -95 kawasaki kle, 39tkm and im "tuning"it right now for this trip..better seat,side racks etc. Trying to keep weight as low as possible. Dry weight is now about 170kg, and all gear will take 10-15kg(?)
Little bit problems with visa, i might not get multi entry visa because i havent visit there before. Not sure yet, but if thats the case, i have to take "two entry visa" and skip Kazakstan. That case route would be straight to Novosobirsk (5000km). That would be best location to change tires before Mongolia. Actually i could ride there with touring tires, and leave them to storage ( if possible ) . Then with fresh set (TKC80) to Mongolia, and back to Novosobirsk via Irkutsk(4500-6000km)..and then back to home with those touring tires.. Going to leave as soon as possible, meaby 2nd week of april, when snow has (hopefully) melt away. Is there any routes in Mongolia that i should avoid at that time off year? |
