KTM 530 Across Mexico and Central America

Does anyone have info or experience on long distance rides on (2011) ktm 530, ... going with a 21 liter tank and ht oil cooler, balanced wheels wearing the six days enduro tires, no cush drive. 60 percent dirt 40 street. Other Mods are JD jet kit, canisterectomy, and wolfman rolli bag system slightly modified. I know that oil changes will have to be frequent, but i think that with maintenance every third day or so the bike should handle it. I have really had trouble finding anyone who has used these bikes for long distance and any thoughts would be appreciated. The trip will start Dec 2012, and go for about 2 or 3 months. Leaving Phoenix AZ, Riding through mainland Mexico, Guatamala, and Belize.
