We drove today from Tariat (next to the Great White Lake) to Tsetserleg. It was a good 163km drive along some very nice roads in Central Mongolia. We actually had 17km of tarmac (brand new) and it felt so good to be speeding again.
Both Cyril and I have improved a lot when it comes to bike handling. The small trails, the sandy tracks and the offroad don't bother us anymore and we are riding quite safe at much higher speed than we originally thought we would ever do in these conditions.
We arrived in Tsetserleg at around 14h and had a great lunch at Fairfields, a guest house and restaurant owned by 2 Brits. We had our SHOWER!!!!! (finally) and ate some good old English pub food, nice. Steak sandwich for Cyril and burger for me.
We even had some time to visit the city (small one) and find a great internet cafe.
Cyril is a bit worried as his bike is playing up again and he doesn't have power at low and high revs, hence he drives all the time between 3,000-5,000 revs. Anyone has any idea? We hope the bike makes it to Ulaanbaatar (2 days away from here).
Oh and you'll see from the new pictures that I was attacked by a tick at the leg.

To me it sounds like Cyril is having fuel flow problems.
If you have a fuel filter between the fuel tank and the carburettor, it is probably clogged.
If you dont have a fuel filter, then with all the problems you are having, you need to get one. Get a proper mechanic to sort the problem out in UB, but also get him to install a big car inline fuel filter
