Hey everyone,
I am planning to ride my KLR650 about 4 to 5k km soon.
I did long distances before on various bikes and most of those trips were unplanned. I didn't have anything but my backpack. But this time I would like to make it more comfortable and less dramatic.
Now, thinking to travel from Sydney to Cairns OR to Outback OR Tasmania. I am not sure where I am going to be heading but definitely heading somewhere. It is going to be my first long on KLR650.
I know something would happen such as flat tyre, which scares me . Another thing is that decrease in engine oil level concerns me. I have read that KLR650 has some issues.
I am going to change the oil before I get on the road and also check main things.
It got 48 Lt top-box and large TUSK side cases. Crash bars, center stand and hand-guards too. I think I am going to reinstall OEM exhaust because this Staintune would probably annoy me on the road.
Is there any brand/type of oil that you may suggest especially good for Australian roads/weather for KLR650?
And are there anything I should avoid while on the road like high rev?
Bike is 2014 KLR650 and 7k on odo.
Thanks for your valued suggestions
