Cheers,

bought from gas stations....in russian carelia (if you ride xt) you do not have gas filling during days / its enough if you fill tank once a day. there are some gas stations. you just have to know where and plan your route via those.

in the north i had 5 litre spare canister on the left side under side pannier. i have 2-1 exhaust. i fix foto for that later.

or did you mean quality? in russian gas stations there are at least 92 oct. many stations have normally 95 oct even 98 oct.

do you have russian visa? if not just make an application for multiply visa. after that it is much much easier to plan russian tours. if you need help for that just send e mail or pm

next start is this weeks friday afternoon......

hi hono
i am going to the far east of your country in july with the xtr, starting in zarabino, meeting some friends in zarobovsk, riding to vanino ,then riding the full length of the BAM railway and then home to the u.k.
I have had a fuel tank made to replace the left hand silencer,6ltrs which is connected with a small pipe to the top of the main tank, i have sealed the fuel cap so that when the fuel level goes down it causes a vacuum which sucks the fuel from the auxhillary tank ,which empties first. with drilling the top of the tank ,this gives me nearly22lts.
it works great.

REALLY LOVE RUSSIA
ESPECIALLY THE PEOPLE ,I CANT WAIT TO GET BACK OUT THERE.
