    First decide how you are heading from pangong to tso-moriri. If you are heading back to Karu then you can refil there. Otherwise fuel availability is there at black market rates in Sumdo (Narender ji last year fuelled up there) I would say, better to figure out a way to carry 10 liters of extra fuel on the bike.
    End July should be rainy :-)
    For the CBR, the biggest concern are the stock tyres which are simply not cut-out for that terrain. Apart from that, you won't get any specific spare parts of the CBR in Leh. Mechanics there have been working on bullets/zma/220s for ages. Not sure if they have any expertise on CBR. If your alloy goes out of shape - there is one guy in Leh who can set it right (misplaced his contact info). It would be better if you carry some basic spare parts with yourself.

    Now after filling at Karu, I head to pangong and then Tso Moriri. The fuel availability is a concern as CBR can take upto 350kms full tank only. Fron tso Moriri till Sarchu infact Thandi what is the availability of fuel? Is Tandi the only place for refill? I want to figure out how much fuel I will need to carry. Any help in this regard is really appritiated.

    Also is petrol pump in Padum operational?

    Edit-How will the weather be at end July time frame in Leh and surroundings.?

    Edit 2 - How is the availability of mechs and spare parts in Leh, will they look at CBR if god forbid something goes wrong? Parts and bits are available?

    Re: Getting Leh'ed - 2014 Planner

    i am riding to ladakh on 20th june.. hyderabad to delhi in train and then riding to manali-leh-ladakh- delhi...


    the tyre has done 8-10 k since new and have had a single puncture. grip wise the grooves and tread is pretty much decent however
    wanted to know if its safe to take the bike to the trip else change the tyre. i have had no air loss since that puncture but worried if it runs flat and what possibilities to get a tubeless tyre in ladakh or to repair it. incase it goes flat..
