Spare parts in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan
I found a shop in Bishkek where you can find many spare parts you don't expect to find in central Asia, like Motul engine oil, Continental TKC 80 tires even in 21'' size, Uvex helmets, Axo knee guards, gloves, hand guards, windscreens, mirrors and many more! Although, if you are planning your trip, don't rely on the availability of those products. If you want to buy the tires, be sure he will have them when you will arrive in Bishkek.
It is in Kudaibergen rinak (market). It's a mass of containers which have turned to shops. It's the shop number 29E. The man is called Dima and you can call him on 00996 312 543 91 58 19 but he speaks only Russian. Almost every motorcyclist in the city (there are not many!) knows him as "Dima biker". You must ride along Chuy prospektisi (avenue) towards west. If you start from the center of the city, that means you will pass in front of Osh bazaar on your left. You must continue west on Chuy and after 2-3 kms you must turn right. Ask around about Kudaibergen to find the turn. Hope it helps! |
I went to this shop a few months ago (summer 2009) with a couple of other guys. It still in the same place and he have quite a good stock.
A taxi from Soviet street cost 150 som. |
Hi, I found this shop in August 2011 thanks to the info of the posters above.
The GPS mark I have is N 42o 52' 55.4" E 74o 31' 24.7" You can ride your bike next to the shop from the Northern entrance of the market to avoid the tricky parking (the local bikers were doing this). Dimitri also put me on to a great workshop that knew bikes (they built up and reground my cam) The GPS mark I have for this is: N 42o 54' 36.4" E 74o 33' 58.8" It is in the village of Maevka. Travel North from Chuj Prospect on Mahatma Ghandi Bulavard until you get to the Maevka sign (it may be hidden by a bus). Turn left immediately at this sign and continue to No.22. Unfortunately my Russian consists of about 10 words, but both these places were very helpful despite no common language. |
More Bishkek biker info
This thread was very helpful to me as I had fuel pump issues on my 2009 BMW F800GS in Kyrgyzstan. I was able to find an auto parts store that had what seems to be a suitable replacement from Bosch and also another biker recommended a mechanic that could help install in his yard and with his tools. Here's the info:
EVI Autocenter (had Bosch fuel pump) 42.865440,74.567480 Corner of Lev Tolstoy St. and Asanaliev St. "Dima Biker" (had recommendations on fuel filter jury rig) 42.882055,74.5235277 One container of many in the Kudaybergen Auto Bazaar (pronounced Kudaibergen Afto Bazaar) "Alexi Biker" (and Constantine, have yard, tools, and mechanical skill) 42.881468,74.631522 212 Saratovskaya St. You can find other details on this ADV thread. Thank you. |
Just an update, the place is still there in the container. Has moved to 25. Has a really good stock of bitsnand gear, helmets armour. Alpinestars, fox. Had tyres there in 18 & 21.
Dimma wasn't there but his wife was and very freindly and helpfull. A real hands on lady she knew her bike parts. And left me in charge of the shop for 5 mins while she showed my freind a welding place. Awsome! Location as per the gps points above which take you to the entrance to market then a quick walk about and you will find 25. There are a few other places stocking bike bits too. Thanks for the original listing of this place it helped us alot |

Bishkek motorcycle parts and servicing.
Hello,
Today I visited, Dima and Olga at their motorcycle store in Bishkek. (25E) they were able to supply me with all the nessesary parts for my 2012 yamaha xtz tenere. They then arranged for a local motorcycle garage to make repairs to my bike and have them carry out other repairs that were required. Together they are a great team, they have extensive knowledge and experience of riding in the 'Stans'. Thank you for your help, Dima and Olga and the previous posts. |
Aye up,
Went today and they are still there but at no. 25Я (on the Western side), unfortunately nobody was home and the guys next door said they were out of town for 3 days. If you're just after oil and chain lube (which I was) there's a motul shop in the very south east corner, you'll see the big red motul sign on the left as you drive up the road from Den Xiaoping Ave. |
Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I just wanted to confirm that Dima had lots of necessary parts (oil filters, air filters, 10W50 Castrol oil, tubes, chain cleaner, spark plugs etc).
The coordinates given in this thread worked perfectly, thanks for posting them. |
I just want to confirm that June 2016 Dima and his wife are still there.
Super friendly people, they are starting to learn some English and we talked, he helped me with new screws for my brake fluid container. LosJuajos was right about the move, he is still at 25Я. Coordinates I got for his place are 42.882047 74.522994 You can ride there and park right in front of the shop :scooter: Picture Code:

Bishkek Motorcycle Parts
Thanks for this thread. It has been extremely useful. I went today to see Dima and Olga. Very friendly people. I went last Friday about 3pm and it they were already closed. Go early. Today, I got there about 12:30 and left at 2pm so I guess they normally close sometime between 2pm and 3pm.
Was hoping for a front tire but he only had very off-road type treads. Not something I think would be good for paved roads so I passed on it. He did replace my front and rear brake pads for me (which I had original manufacturer pads already). He did not hesitate to replace for me the ones I had even though he also sold the same size pads. He also replaced a hand grip. In the end they would only accept 100 som in payment (1.40 USD). I tried to pay more but they would not take it. If you are in Bishkek and need motorcycle parts please patronize Dima and Olga's shop. |
Just got back from Kyrgyzstan and also been to Dima's bike shop. Actually, not my first time but last time didn't know about this thread. The guy and his wife are an oasis for bike parts in Central Asia (particularly in Bishkek) and super nice folks. Highly recommended, he even threw in a free helmet bag this time.
