What I have to do on the bike (and else) before trip
Break fluid flush Take to dealer
New tires order from internet - Cycle Rider did the best balance I ever had in this bike. It's unbelievable smooth.
Knob tires order in Fairbanks, or Whitehorse. White horse will be closed on July 01. Having second thoughts on that... maybe I should not spend that money just to ride on knobs. It will be a half day and $300 short... maybe not.
Replace the alternator pulling belt Did not. Just bought a new belt and I'm taking it with me.
Valves adjust Take to dealer - Very good job at this time. The engine is very smooth.
