Whatever you pack with you on a long trip - dont use a bike with the battery placed under the fuel tank! It takes an extra hour of wrenching just to get to the battery. That is if ever get off that bloody tank....
Dont ask me why I know......
That said - I was able to bumb start my Tenere (a bike well beyond the 200 kilos mark without equipement and luggage) several times when the battery was too low to turn the engine around.
If I was to do another long trip Im not sure if I would have taken cabels or a battery pack.... its just another item who «could come in handy but rarely does» and add up weight and space on an already overloaded bike.
