I'll start off with the route that I'm planning.
http://goo.gl/maps/HGujj
This will be my first tour, major or otherwise. I'm shooting to go late May, early June.
I have a 2000 Kawasaki ZX6E that I'm going to use for it. I'm planning on doing a few bigger maintenance things in the months before I set out. I'm going to replace my chain and sprockets, change my spark plugs, and get a valve adjustment done.
1. should there be more I should do? '
2. My tires are 6000ish km old, Michelin Pilot Road 3's, which I will be continuing to use for most of winter. Should they be changed before the trip?
What else should I be aware of?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks
