"Keep it simple"
2000 miles in a month, wow
Motorcycles are not transportation in my world. If I'm on a bike, I'm in my happy place, and don't want to have to be some where at some time. 4 wheels are for commuting. 2 wheels are strictly for recreation.and btw does not commute with the bike.
I have that 6GB download...insane, 6GB. At least on my wife's BMW we can download the specific states we want. That's one of the features that makes her turn by turn GPS superior to the KTM...did I mention it's 6GB?I do know that special maps for KTM My Ride navigation can be downloaded and stored on WIFI before setting off on a journey. Routes can also be stored and used again later.
You should add a Scottoiler or some other lube system. They really work. The first chain on my VFR800 lasted just 20,000 km, I added a Scottoiler and the second chain still looked mint at 45000 km when I sold the bike. It only needed adjusting once.Same thing with the chain and spockets...will they make 6,000 miles? If not, need to trash them prematurely in prep for the trip. I have absolutely no interest in trying to get work done on the road, so I'll be curious to see how this plays out.
+1 scottoilers are amazing if you do big miles on a chain bike.You should add a Scottoiler or some other lube system. They really work.

That one sounds like it has a defective valve, causing it to release too much oil. Mine was great at the recommended setting and never got oil anywhere except the chain.Mt wife's BMW has a Scottolier...she has instructed me to turn it off. Just got tired if dealing with the mess every where. She'd touch her side case and end up with black fingers. And I had it turned down to 1/3 the recommended flow rate. She likes a clean bike, and that's been impossible with the oiler.
