    Hi,

    that sounds like great stuff. Can't wait on some more of the trip.

    How, in terms of paperwork, did you get your bike out of China and how "clean" is the bike in general?

    Any chance that you tell us which documents you needed and where you applied for it to get the bike out of China. Where did you cross the border?

    I am planning a trip China-Kazakhstan-Russia-Mongolia-China and am therefore interested in the paperwork.

    We just registered the bike on my wifes hukou in Changsha, Hunan. We got the blue registration book and green vehicle ownership book. Took that to the border. Crossed at Jimunay into Kazakhstan.
    We did hundreds of calls ahead to all government places and even to the border station, so they know we would come. As its China, everybody give different answeres. We where ask from anything military permit, to export licence and so on.
    Finally we decide just to go to the border.
    They refused us and say we need an agent, that can handle export. They got one for us and wanted to start a full export procedure of the bike like they do for trucks....to our luck the boss of the border came, he remember we called and i was asked to drive the bike inside the immigration for ppl. I pushed the bike trough the passport control :) and my wife got a small doc from them that my bike is handluggage and i can bring it back when i come to china. Than my wife needed to take the bus over the nomansland to Kazakhstan side and i was asked to drive ahead.
    From what they said we where the first to cross there by chinese licenced moto. Tell me if you know anyone who did it before. On the Kazak side they said the same and didint wanted to let us in....but more on that later....

    bike was reliable.
    bought it with 0km in Shanghai and have now 26.300km on the clock.
    you can see its made in china but with supervision by japanese. so i would always go for yamaha, honda or suzuki. its a difference compared to the all the chinese manufacturer.
    more details on all the parts later.

    When I went from Qumalai to Budongquan the road was not yet cleared or graded so I'm not sure if it still follows the same route. Either way, the only pass there was just after (North of) Qumalai and was about 4,700 if I recall. The entire route stays at high altitutde between 4,400 to 4,600m so 4,700 isnt that much of a relative difference and soem might not even call it a pass.

    Glad to hear you took that route! Was there still lots of wildlife?
