My thoughts - genric sould be on a generic FAQ .. not specific .. so 'we' all know it applies to all bikes .. that way anyone with an model not covered would still have a guide.
-----------------
On my DR I've about the same weight as a standard bike .. removed some stuff .. added others .. like a bash plate .. with spare F&R brake pads ...
-------------------
One of the things about the long haul .. carrying the 'consumables' and servicing .
I carry a spare chain roller - bolt on to the right side where the pillion peg mounts .. hides nicely there. The lower chain guide - make out of kitchen chopping board ... multiple bits so the waring bits can be rotated upside down - extending their life .. and swaped with the outer bits so having built in 'spares'. Not found a good soluition for the swing arm chain protector ..
The sealing crush washers for drain/timing plugs fit nicely behind the frame rubber plugs ..
Servicing of the air filter is too frequent .. I'm using air filter scoks .. go over the standard air filter - pull the dirty one off and put on a clean one .. 3 off these should get me to the next engine oil change where I do all the air filters together, and change the engine oil ... rather get dirty once than 4 times..
