Advice needed for Dakar 650 2007
Im a relative newbie to moto (Ive been riding about 18 mths) and im off on a 25000km trip. I have bought a 2007 Dakar with 43000kms on it and am replacing alot of stuff regardless of its age. This is what I am replacing - am taking any of the old bits that arent too worn as replacements.
Replace:
• sprockets
• wheel bearings
• chain
• brake pads,
• battery
• air filter
• fuel filter
• oil filter
• spark plugs.
• Put seal savers on front forks
Fit kouba lowering links
Fit engine guard
• Lower kick stand
• Lower centre stand
• Do oil change and general service
Is there other stuff I should have done before i leave?
I understand the water pumps on the GS are prone to failing- should i take a spare with me?
Im a solo female of advanced years and little mechanical nounce so its pretty important i have as few problems as possible, or if i do that i am prepared for them.
