Long trip Preparation
I will be doing a trip to Cape York of AUstralia in september. I think my main problems will be puncture repairs. I intend on carrying 2-3 spare heavy duty tubes, lever set and tube repair kit as well as the tools needed to remove either the front or rear tyre. I have never had to do a repair yet so I'm wondering if u guys have any tips on doing puncture repairs on the xt600. Does the axle slide out easily or do I need to push it out with tools? Also because it will be my first major trip can u guys give me an idea as to any problems u may have encountered or tips for extended off-road riding. The bike is a 95 xt600 with 19000 kilometres on it. I intend on getting a service including valve adjusting before leaving. Is there anything else I should pay special attention to.
Thanx in advance.
