XL600 LMF lots of questions!!!
Hi !! . Being absolutely new to bikes.. I have just bought a XL600 LMF \(the one with the enormous fuel tank).
Before sailing off to Africa to my first trip on a bike (being lots of times but in 4WDs and Trucks) ... I am absoultely ignorant on lots of motorbike-related issues .
Such as :
How much power can I take from the electrical system ? -Is it possible to run=off a laptop (I mean with an inverter , of course) from the electrical system ?
Are chains standard ? or are model-specific . Can I expect to find a chain for my bike in -say - mali ? or Senegal ?
I know that's a stupid question .. but .. Is it safe to assume that nothing will breakdown in 5000 kilometers. How reliable a well mantained XL6000 is compared to a well-mantained modern 4WD ?
Any parts should I take with me ?
and lastly :
Is it possible to find parts and skilled mechannics in Africa.. or should I abandon the bike if it gets seriously broken down .
Thanks a lot for your time.. and sorry to ask too many qustions.\
