I have no experience of the bike itself but given any older bike I'd be going over it and replacing much of the consumables and critical parts prior to a long trip. This includes things like fork seals, wheel bearings, chain and sprockets, maybe even engine oil seals or other known failure points. Proper prep is more important than parts availability IMO. That said, such prep is s great way to get to know your bike which will stand you in good stead if you have problems on the road.
