Few questions about what you wrote.If the bike has under 15000 pretty much nothing otherwise
Tune up / valves sync what ever
Reading the history around here I would put the spares ON the bike before you ever leave
Exterior fuel filter mod
After market rectifier/regulator and stator shindegen
Chain and sprockets
Brake service
Then bulbs, tube etc.
For you a good quality water/filter pump purifier
5 gold Soveriegns
1 doz industrial strength condoms
1 cyanide suicide pill
Seriously a few silver dollars might get help
and there worth like $30 each
1) So you'd bring an extra set of chain + sprockets with you even though I'm swapping out in San Diego?Kit of metric bolts and nuts.
Crush washers for oil drain plug.
Couple of metric sizes fuel lines.
A set of chain and sprockets with master link and press/brake tool.
Spare fuses.
Spare key.
Spare brake pads.
DL650 does not have a clutch seal... Rebuild kit is for Vee owners like me. Cost around $70... There is no kit, you just buy everything individually.Reading a blog of two vstroms riding in South America, one of them had to return back to the US due to a failed Clutch Seal after repeated attempts to find one.
I use everything OEM, including press Master Link. You will never break a chain.1) So you'd bring an extra set of chain + sprockets with you even though I'm swapping out in San Diego?
2) What chain/sprocket setup would you recommend?
3) The point of having a master link is to be able to swap out a broken link?
4) Already have spare fuses... that's a good call.
5) Hadn't thought bout break pads I think they are quite cheap.
If we are talking about tools, its whole different world. Having bunch of tools and lack of knowledge how to use it does bring another issue. Parts in third world needed for their shops...Spare Clutch Cable.........zip tie it to the frame somewhere??
No one mentioned "spare compressed air"..........:biggrinjester: (in that case, a bicycle pump or 12V air compressor.....Slime makes a good one)
I've got my tool kit mostly built. I'll post a separate thread about what I'm using and then get your folks feedback there separately.If we are talking about tools, its whole different world.

Interesting thought on clutch cable. What other cables would you consider taking? (throttle cable, brake cable, etc?) ... and how much do these guys cost?Spare Clutch Cable.........zip tie it to the frame somewhere??

Route the spare clutch cable with the one on the bike. That way if it is needed, you only have to disconnect the old one and hook up the new. Squirt some lube into the new cable and tape over the ends so no crude accumulates in it before it is put in use.Spare Clutch Cable.........zip tie it to the frame somewhere??
I wouldn't bother with bearings for two reasons:I think I'd consider taking along a set of spare wheel bearings. Depending on where you buy them, a full set of good quality bearings, including the seals, can be had for under $100. They wouldn't take up much room.
