Africa round trip on a XT600E 03 - Servicing and spare parts
Hi everyone,
i'm planning an African round trip (Cape Town and back – down west – up east coast) on a 2003 XT600E, which means covering something like 40,000 km, sometimes in harsh conditions.
Have two questions in preparation or servicing prior to departure, and spare parts:
1) Besides the obvious servicing and what's described in the service manual, by your experience are there any specific areas, “soft spots” or parts that should be looked at and/or replaced prior to leaving?
2) Bearing in mind the weight and space restrictions what are the absolutely must take along spare parts list?
I've come up with an initial list but always good to cross check with the experts....
Cheers,
RN
