Setup
Hi
... I used a XRV 650 from 1988. We drove 65000km in North-and Southamerica. I had to replace 1 chainset (DID X-ring and chainoiler), 1 clutch cable, 1 bulb headlight and 1 Vergasermembran (the rubber thing) inside the carburator. That`s it ... I used the Heidenau K 60 (140/80/17), which lasted about 25000km and no flat !
I bought the cheapest oil I could find (10W40 or 20W50), don`t use a K&N airfilter when it`s getting dusty, use the paperfilter!
We used soft saddlebags, I personally don`t like the metal panniers (dangerous and very heavy) and we had custommade tanksidebags. If you want metal panniers I would recommend RMS RMS - Reinhard Guhr Rennsporttechnik he is very skilled metal welder and worked for the Sauber formula 1 team a couple of years ago.
