Without a Support Truck for the travel, tools and spares planning
are very critical. This is to handle breakdown and do maintenance
of wear & tear Parts on the journey.
Tools and Spares Customization & Innovation
Tools were
innovated to
combine as a
Multi piece to
save weight
without
sacrificing
functionality.

We only brought along 3 Electrical Spare Parts.
1.CDI Unit
2. Spark Plug HT Coil
3. Magnet Coil / Generator Coil.

One of the Bike’s Rectifier Regulator and Coil burnt towards Pakistan.
This bike’s is the oldest among all and was never changed before
since purchased.

A reliable Electric Air Pump is essential to bring along for
punctures and air pressure top ups.
A manual hand pump as a secondary back up is also put in plan.
A good quality
pump was
innovated by
stripping off its
outer casing
maintaining only
the motor and the
pump to reduce
space and weight
was innovated for
the journey.

With the standard Rims changed to Sports Rims for
using Tubeless Tyre – Dunlop TT100, we did not bring
any spare Tyre as Dunlop warantees 18-20,000km.
We only bring
along 1 piece
of Inner Tube
just incase and
a tubeless tyre
Repair Kit.

A manual hand pump as a secondary back up was also brought
along.
Knowledge on how to use a Tyre Repair kit is very important and all
are required to learn and practice before the journey.

We had about 10 punctures along the way and this little pump did
its job well without failing us when compressed air is needed.

The Bike after some Innovation & customization

Our 1st camping was at
Iran, in Parks as Hotels
are very few and only
available at main cities
with prices beyond our
budget.
