    Hope it’s a great trip mate and looking forward to hearing how it went. Wish I had bought shares in jocks & socks before you departed though! Haha.

    Excellent video mate it seems like a lot of gear spread out on the table especially with all those undies and sox but packs in quite nicely and at around 16kgs that's awesome. I've been umming and arrring about a Kovè rally bike but already have a WR450F MY19 which would be hard to part with so of course the other option is go for the Rally build thanks heaps for sharing I'll drop a link on Ride ADVs build you may have already seen it. Cheers Tony.

    Mate, get a couple good pairs of socks and one good pair of quality underwear made of polyester. One polyester pair of underwear from kmart lasted me 6 weeks of walking about 10-15kms everyday. Finished without any holes or issues whatsover. Used 3-4 pairs of thick woolen socks, soak them in clean water before the sweat dries so they dont get crusty and then let them dry

    I was pretty happy in the end the theory worked especially after some wet feet days

    How often do you have to change the oil and filters on this bike when using it as a light adventure bike? Thanks!

    Hi mate it’s a 2015 I bought new, transmission standard - sprocket changed to 14/44 from original 14/47 combination to give it some reprieve on the long roads. Finished a couple of days ago and the bike was strong no dramas even after a few offs in the sand.

    Hi mate I did change 3 filters and oil changes over the 4390km , the last I done at betoota to ride back to longreach and probably wasn’t necessary but oil is cheap in comparison I guess.
