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 Unit2. Spark Plug HT Coil3. 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.

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