After breakfast we were ready for take off and decided to go trough the mountains towards Oredea. We left the main street and drove trough some small mountain villages. But the road became rough and after a few kilometers it was just a mud yard. Nevertheless we went on in the hope to come on a better road. After a few kilometers which we went very slow through the mud, the ZXR stopped in the dirt, the engine died and pushing the starter button had no positive effect.

A little cigarrete later we examined the bike and saw that the water cooling system went leak and the engine obviously had ran to hot - the pistons stuck. Truly that didn't look to good, but old Kawa's never die. We sealed the leak as good as possible and slowly filled in fresh water which we got from a farmer. Luckily the cold engine started and we could go on. This repair didn't last very long at all, on our way home we had to stop every 200 km and fill in water.
