hi bob
i rode my xt on "sibirsky extreme", probably the toughest road in the world, all told 10,000mls to home.
itook very few tools they all fitted in the hole under the seat, apart from 1 tyre iron. ktm do a nice cranked one.
If you,d like we could meet up or talk on the tel. and i,ll run through all the preps. i did.
The only thing i changed when i got back was put 15w oil in the forks, and bought a s/hand koni rear shock, ready for the next trip.
if your interested pm me.
