...And I leave in a few days!
Quick introduction, am new here but you will all be hearing lots from me over the next months. I have been soaking up info on this forum for months and just now finally got through some technical difficulties that were hindering me from registering.
So yes, I have a 2006 500cc Bullet Standard. Just rebuilt the engine (new valves, new engine bearings, crank reconditioned, etc. etc.) Had already completed about 4,000 miles with this bike before rebuild around India and Nepal and now gearing up for the trip west. To learn more about the trip and/or to follow along you can check out my blog:
www.thescenicroutethroughlife.comI have lots of questions but for today will just post this one...Anyone want to give me their idea of what would be the ideal list of spares to bring with me...
Keep in mind once out of India there are no Enfield dealers until Central Europe. Also keep in mind I am riding with pillion, luggage, camping gear, etc. so am trying to keep all weight down to a minimum. I am starting with new fresh brakes, filters, bearings etc. Here is the list I put together:
Speedo Cable - 2
Throttle Cable - 1
Clutch Cable - 2
Gasket Kit (full)
Extra head Gaskets
Tubes - 2
Oil Filter- 1
Wheel Bearings - 8 (Two sets)
Front Brake Pad - 2
Rear Brake - 1
Spark Plugs - 3
Piston Rings
Clutch Plates - 1
Spokes - 2 extra for each wheel
Fork Oil Seal - 2 set
Ignition coil - 1 (unnecessary???)
Air Filter - 1
Fuses
Kick spring
Tools - All the basics
I have a good support team here in Delhi so if something really goes wrong and I need some random part they can post it to me.
So, any advice? In general...not just on the spares list! I will try and do my part on this forum and post things I learn along the way that might help others. Thanks in advance for all your help!
