hi guys im off to do a little trip in the US including Canada and Alsaska, we are looking at doing apx 20k ishhhshsh what spares would you advise to take for a Dakar 02..???? i know there are a few dealers out there but what would you definatly take..?.
 
Depends where you are going, but I always made sure I could fix a flat: Tubes, patches, tire irons, RueGlyde (or soap), compressor and a c-clamp (for breaking the bead). Can save you quite a few hours of waiting...

Other than that, a LeatherMan, the stock tool kit (the old one) and a test lamp is pretty much what you need. Clutch lever, throttle and clutch cable if you're heading out in the boonies. And fuses, assorted bolts, JB Weld, gorilla tape, zip ties, and some steel wire and electric cable of course.

Have a nice trip, wish I could go too.
 
tempting fate here but i'd take the following along with spare cables and levers

waterpump rebuild kit
oil pressure sensor

other than that anything that goes wrong can be lived with until you reach a dealer :thumb2

I'd probabbly replace wheel bearings and steering head bearings before leaving as well as doing a full service.
