My 2003 xt600e has 76.000km on the stock motor, everything still goind strong. No need to change piston if the bike works and doesn't drink oil.
I wpuld however, bring a little 200ml bottle with motoroil, it's nice to be able to top of it the engine "drinks" a little oilfumes after some interstate-riding, the oil can also be used to lube chain, sprockets and such.
I havent been on at round the world trip, but I could imagine that some sort of chainlube system would be nice?
