Found the Yamaha dealership in Baku. They have a gear lever return spring in stock but it is at there service centre on the other side of town. A taxi ride later I have the spring and they gave it too me for free. Which was very nice of them. Thank you Baku Yamaha for your help. Just have too fit it now. I'll do that when we camp on the other side of the Caspian Sea.
