Thanks Hendi, glad to provide a few useful tips!
I wrote a lot of this thread years ago, I made quite a few mistakes in my early mods and advice I gave about the DR650. Sorry!
Like all of us, I've learned A LOT about the Care and Feeding of the DR650 since 2006 when I first bought the bike.
No one was more surprised than I to see just how good the DR is and how tough it is and how long it can go ... over 65K miles on my bike.
I should go back and edit out my errors ... but I'm lazy and it's a bit of work to do that! SO! if you have any questions about anything, just pipe up and I will try to clarify and correct. I've learned SO MUCH since early days.
Good luck on your prep! I wish I could ride along with you in Africa. Nothing like an experienced Africa expert/guide to make it more fun!
