Help in Mauritania F650GS
Hi fellow travellers. I am on a BMW F650GS 2006 twin spark (Rotax engine), currently in Atar, Mauritania. I have two issues with the bike. 1- split radiator header tank that houses the thermostat. It's plastic & repairs have been unsuccessful. It will not hold water, even under no pressure (cold). 2 - overheated and I suspect a blown head gasket. I don't know for sure until I am able to get the engine apart. Not going to do that in the sand - need a proper workshop!
I am in need of suggestions for a capable mechanic & workshop, plus parts. I am hoping to get to Nouakchott with the bike transported in the next couple of days.
Sensible, useful help always appreciated.
