You might need to get the bike in a truck or van and head to Phnom Penh or maybe Siem Reap.

AFAIK currently there's no such place. I live just outside of Ban Lung and used to get my big bike serviced in Phnom Penh. One of the reasons I stopped using it. It's a pain. Behind the market, on the street opposite Canadia Bank, there are a few shops operating trucks to Phnom Penh on a daily basis. They can take your bike and drop it off at Oh Russei market. Maybe Vireak Buntham (close to the roundabout) can transport it too, either in the cargo hold of one of their night busses or in their trucks.

Ok, if I will not find another solution, I will keep it in mind.

There is 1 good shop. He fixed my friends africa twin last year. Street parallel to main road. About 300m from the "green carrot corner" direction market. I have pictures in front of the shop but don't know how to embed.

What kind of bike
What are the symptoms

You may be able to fix it or at least get it to some help without additional expense if you can apply a temp fix

Found a trustworthy Shop. Have a good Feeling with it.
I will know in some hours..
Didn't expect it could be a Problem to find a good "Big Bike" Shop here, cause I see many foreigners driving their Bikes here, Trekking-Tours etc.
Thx for all the Advices
