Hi Samy,
The two failure prone items are the rotor (in the alternator) and the paralever driveshaft. Make sure those are in good condition before heading off on a big trip.
Most "improvements" to the bike are not really necessary. Certainly the brakes and lights are just fine for travel in developing countries (where the speeds are low and you don't ride at night). My two favourite improvements are the Ohlins rear shock and the Jesse luggage.
