Get up in that EFI and find some place to put those jets.. and that big drill bit..

1.0 assuming it FI - short out terminals 1 & 3 on the clutch lever inhibitor switch - this will remove the Rev restrictor in gears 4,5 & 6. 2 Min job I have done 7,000miles like this no issues. You can get fancy with upgraded FI units but consider reliability - see lots of info on the forum.
2.0 Decent bash plate - I have a Scorpion from Canada does the job
3.0 Foldy mirrors - saves a break in a spill
4.0 Tyres - the original Dunlops are OK on the road but you can do better for un-made surfaces
5.0 13 Tooth sprocket - better (lower) gearing for tricky stuff - but you lose higher speed on the road
6.0 Headlamp - not the best, a couple of cheapish LED spots {fixed to the Fork leg clamps on my bike} make a big difference
7.0 Seat - gets a bit uncomfy on long runs
8.0 Tank - 110 miles range
9.0 Chain oiler - i use a Tuturo unit cheapish and simple
10.0 Tool bag - the little standard one is a bit small

Adverts on bikes - i am not sure why either unless someone is paying, but each to is own. And what's wrong with green?

Enjoy the trip

Will

11.0 Take the footpeg rubbers off for better grip
12.0 Hand guards and leave the lever clamps not to tight - save your levers in a fall. and maybe buy spare set of levers and clutch cable.
13.0 lots of cable ties - they fix anything.
