Hello to everybody!

My girlfriend and I (both Chilean) are going to make a Round The World trip on one klr650 2014, starting around march... Starting in Chile we are going to Europe, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and South East Asia (and China on foot, too expensive to get the bike there). Then ship the bike to somewhere in Latin America, I'm not worried about this last part...and Iran (if I get the carne)

Do you know if the KLR650 2008+ is sold in those places?
well, I have been told that not in Russia

I already modified the passenger pegs so they are more comfortable

I'm equipping the bike: Corbin seat, safary tank, aluminium skid plate, head light protection, aluminium panniers.

I have seen an upgrade for the subframe bolts... has anyone had a problem with the factory ones?
Drill through subframe upgrade kit

Do you think a scottoiler is worth the money? should I buy one?
I was thinking on buying a stainless steel oil filter (reusable) and a magnetic drain plug... do you think those are safe to use with the bike.

And I'm wondering if you guys could give my some advise about which spare parts take with us,

I was thinking in:
- Chain
- throttle cable
- clutch cable

and maybe front brake pads, but just if I know for sure that I will not be able to get them after Europe

I've seen people doing big trips carrying lots of spare parts, even tires!! but that's way beyond my possibilities, as we are 2 up we need to use the space as wisely as we can (and do not overload de bike too)

BTW: I used to be chemical engineer (till September 2013) but I started a week ago to work for free as a motorcycle mechanic helper , I haven't seen any klr650 in the workshop,but most of the bikes are old Japanese with carburettor engines, so I believe that knowledge can become handy some day

Any help with this questions will be very much appreciated, and any other advise too!!

Cheers and thanks!

PD: after 4 months of planning (well, 4 months of hard planning, we have been daydreaming with it for 4 years)we are in the final stage of the planing, any advise will be highly appreciated.
