Hi Folks,

My trusty steed (2010 XT660Z) now has 30,000 miles on the clock and nearly 4 years of age, much of that on the dirt roads of S America. She's had a fairly rough ride most of her life. I am coming home from Peru for a few weeks and thus have an opportunity to pick up a bag of parts, so I thought now would be a good time to get the bike stripped down, inspected and revamped in preparation for the next 15,000 miles.

Importantly, I want to ANTICIPATE future wear and tear and deal with it now, to minimise the potential of failures when I'm in the middle of nowhere in the future.

All the obvious stuff will get dealt with and also that which the manual recommends at this mileage / age, but I would appreciate any advice on what may be less obvious and thus may get overlooked - any XT660Z idiosyncrasies that you guys may have picked up on regarding parts wearing out.

This is a golden opportunity to the bike back to full strength - I have an excellent mechanic to work on the bike, and the hourly rate out here in Peru is a fraction of UK.

Thanks!!
Paul
