XTz rescues Cape to Cairo carnage....

Hi All

I was due to leave Cape Town yesterday on a 3 month Cape to Cairo trip on my KLR650. Unfortunately I was taken out by a car on Thursday night and the KLR was written off (footage on my trip blog here: http://wp.me/p5aiwQ-7l)

I shook hands on a 2014 XT660z yesterday (details here: http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-motorcycl...70910171044109).

I should pick the bike up later this week and will have a day or two max to prep it before I have to leave (I have a fixed commitment in Zimbabwe on 14 June so need to leave by Sunday 12 June at the latest).

As I know nothing about the XT660z I would really appreciate some guidance on essential preparation. I'll therefore try and find the right subforum and post up some specific questions.

Cheers
Andy
