Bike has 75,000km on it.
Trip will be ~4,500km from south of Spain to north of France - 2/3 paved roads, 1/3 TET/ACT-type trails.
Engine oil.
Transmission oil.
Final drive oil.
New brake pads.
New brake fluid.
Front Karoo 3 is fine, rear will deffo be replaced before departure. Plenty of tyre shops in Spain/Portugal/France.
I'm getting the OEM bars put back on but keeping the Rox risers. Hopefully won't need longer brake & clutch hoses. I also have new adjustable folding short levers to fit.
I'm fitting new front disc bolts, bobbins & wave washers. Discs are plenty thick.
Also fitting a Fuzeblock and a few 12V sockets.
Unlikely to be able to afford new shocks, so I'll just get the current OEM ones checked and adjusted for the load I'm taking on the trip.
There's a light weep from the boot between the shaft housing and the final drive - shaft seal? Obviously get that sorted.
Get the clutch slave cylinder checked while the weep is being addressed?
Bike is running fine, but should I also get the throttles balanced?
New HES? Buy & carry a spare? Isn't 70,000 the magic number? Doesn't fate love to shit on lads at the worst possible time? Unnecessary concern?
Any particular spares to take other than the usual bulbs & fuses?
What am I missing?
