Where to order parts for delivery in Uzbekistan
Hello
First time posting here.
I’m now in nukus and having bike troubles. For now I need to order a new lithium battery for my motorcycle. Where can I order ? Maybe from Russia but I don’t know where to look.
Thanks
Boris

I would be worried that you have a lot of delay in customs. Uzbekistan is not really a bikers country but I would try to source locally. Maybe you could also fit some leadacid variant that is easier to get? Not sure if that can technically work.

Biggest problem is to get it out of customs.
Might be a story of weeks or maybe never.
So better look around in this area if you can find a battery, and if not a Lithium one, get a regular one and place it somewhere els with longer cables.
or find someone who brings it to you with plane.

For Batteries the plane is not working. Since last year they dig them out of the luggage due to security issues. Apparently the battery is no invented which are invisible at an X-Ray. Would be worth a business.

There are some decent shops arround in Kyrgyzstan for Batteries. It depends on the specs you have. The standart ones are available in Kyrgyzstan.
To save some time and hassle in UZ buy a bringing cables, get the mate started and ride out of the country.
Good luck.

Lithium should work on a plane, you might need to put it in an extra Lithium security case
But big hassle, thats why I would just get some battery, mount it somewhere on the bike and get thick cables to extend it and drive

Thx for the answers.
Even a normal battery is hard to find. And no one here seems to understand battery references...

Batteries are classified as hazardous cargo and can only be transported in special containers or in the devices they were designed for (eg phones). If you wonder why, look at videos of small phone batteries shorting and burning out and think what would happen if a big one did it in the baggage hold.
And that's without thinking what a leaky lead-acid one would do to an aircraft skin.
