How to prep a WR250R
I am getting ready for a two year trip around Nepal, India, China, and the stans. I am hoping to leave this August. I had intended to pick up a bike in Nepal, but those plans fell through so I am most likely going to buy one in the states and ship it there. After a bit of research, I was looking at either an XR400, XR250, DRZ400, or WR250R. In general, I would like to avoid bikes with more modern technology, but I have heard pretty good things about the WR250R regarding performance and reliability and am therefore opting for the WR250R. I am having a hard time finding a used one, I guess because they are not that old. So I might have to buy it new and mod it myself. Besides a bigger fuel tank, something like the 14L Safari, any other mods or prep work that are must do's? Any particular weak points that I should be aware of or spare parts that I should bring with? Thanks for any help.
