Think about adding some of this lot to your spares list :
Fuses
Fuel pump relay
Starter relay
Spare clutch/brake lever
Front/rear brake pads
Split link(s ?) for chain
Or, build a good relationship with a KTM dealer near home who holds good stock levels and is geared up to get stuff out to you fast via UPS or DHL
Also download name/address/contact info for KTM dealers in the countries you will be passing through - fingers crossed you won't need to be giving them a call but you never know ......
Finally, what gearing are you running ? The stock gearing is quite low and means the engine will be revving quite high at motorway speeds. I have heard that constant high RPM can contribute to rocker arm failures so on my 2015 690 I've gone up 1 tooth on the gearbox sprocket - from a 15 tooth to a 16 tooth whilst leaving the rear standard - and it's happy sitting around 65 to 70 mph whilst still giving decent fuel consumption.
