Hi Everyone from down under, about to head off on my first East-West ride on a GTR1400, starting in the North West of West Australia and heading first to the War Birds Air Show in Temora NSW with our final destination will be Southern most point of Tasmania.My work mate will be riding his DL1000 a great bike with about the same fuel range as mine so we have planned for the same fuel stops, we will be riding through some out of the way places like Nanutarra, Tom Price, Mt Newman, Mt Magnet, Sandstone, down through Kalgoorlie to Norseman and then heading east across the Nullarbor it’s basically the same ride I did in Nov 2012 on my ST1300 so i have a good idea on what we are in for like a contain heat in and around 40c plus temp, where we can top up with premium fuel plus average food and overnight stops.
Bike ready to go with Motul 7100 full synthetic oil 10w50 engine oil and 75w140 final drive oil and small coolant leak around the thermostat fixed plus new tyres so fingers crossed both bike will give us no trouble.
