Preping an F650

[bmbiker]

I am currently in the process of planning a an overland trip from the UK to Oz leaving April/May 2007

Some months ago I purchased a 95 F650 on which to do the trip on. Aside from some general riding and commutting the bike so far has proven to be reliable.

I would been instrested in hearing if anyone who knows the bike's weak points and what I should be looking out for. Any information on what set up/mods I should be making would equally be helpful.

The bike itself is a 95 model with 40000 miles. I will be changing the usual things like bearing, brakes, sprockets, chain cables etc etc. Everyone I mention it to who knows about bikes insist they are bulletproof and will run 100000 before serious work is needed?

Any suggestions, information would be helpfull.

Thanks
