Mechanic in Esfahan

Greetings! I'm currently in lovely Esfahan with a broken rear brake master cylinder on my KTM 990. Does anyone know a local mechanic who could help me fix this? Alternative is getting parts from Dubai by DHL...

Cheers, Jeroen

Info from HUBB -NW of Tehran in Ghazvin : Satrap Motor Alborz

Also- Iran Yellow Pages comes up with a few pointers. In Tehran - not too far- worth a phone call?

Or ask local hotel receptionists/ any policeman or army / fuel station attendant / garage etc.
Something should give! good luck Jeroen

Success!

Found a mechanic who got the neccesary parts from Tehran and fixed my bike in two days.

His name is Saeid and you can reach him on 776344 or 0913113489 (mobile). He doesn't speak English so get someone local to call him. Like all Iranians I've met, he goes out of his way to help you.

Bertrand, the Kermani dealership isn't at the indicated address anymore.

I'm off to Hamadan!

Good that your bike is all fixed up- Thread updated according to your info- If you have the coords to Saeid's workshop to put up here- that would be great.
Safe onwards!

Hi Jeroen I went there recently thanks to your recommendation and was very happy with Mr. Saeid's work, I had some troubles with my WP suspension in my Africa Twin and he got a way to fix it, even though we couldn't find some parts here. Good mechanic and honest. P.s. He keeps a photo of you and him together with your KTM in the wall

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
