Hi All,
We are prepping two XTR's for our trip and although we are not new to big trips we are new to XT Ownership - had ours 8months.

Any one got any advice on spares we should take apart from the usual service items?

We are replacing fork seals before we leave, any idea how far OE seals should last?
New brake pads all round, new chain and sprockets.
Re-pack all bearings and clean and grease all electrical contacts etc.
Full service before departure.

Spares that we plan to take are,

1 x spare K&N filter each
3 x oil filters each
1 x set inner tubes each
1 x set cables between us
1 x set brake pads between us
1 x spark plug each
1 x set leavers between us
1 x set wheel bearings between us
1 x reg/rect between us
Misc - fuses,nuts and bolts,cable ties,duct tape,rad weld,liquid metal etc etc.

Does the XT have any seals - gaskets - relays or any other issue that crops up over high mileage?

Bike one is on 8000 miles and bike two is on 3000 miles and our first eg is to OZ so about 15000 miles needs to be factored in.

Also how strong are the stock wheels - any probs?

Thanks in advance every body.

Paul and Angie
