Current Logged Service

Fresh Motul 7100 and a K&N filter give the bike a clean starting point before it starts stacking highway and border-crossing miles.

Critical hardware got checked and the pieces most likely to vibrate loose were treated with blue Loctite.

The drive line was cleaned and relubed so we can track wear and noise more easily once the trip gets underway.

Accessories

Added to improve rear visibility and buy a bit more room in the cockpit without making the setup fussy.

A KAEDEAR clamp-style power point keeps navigation and comms charged on the move.

The dash setup is being organized around a cleaner navigation screen instead of relying on a loose phone mount.

Modifications

The front of the bike is being arranged for easier glance-down navigation and less cable clutter during long days.

Part of the roadside repair loadout is being carried here so the bike can stay self-sufficient between towns.

This bike is being tuned around travel duty first, with the storage setup favoring quick access and day-after-day reliability.
