I think you might want to add:
- Plaster (aka. handiplast)
- Betadine - Clear bandage and antiseptic spray / cream
- Tweezer

Depends on the trip.

Electric pump + tyre repair kit
Full set of tools. Plenty of heavy duty zip ties. Electrical tape. Cutter/knife
Headlamp
Spare gear shift (and levers, mine are foldaway type so no need)
First aid kit
Silicon hose for fuel etc.
Spare bolts and nuts
Small bottle of gear oil (for chain) and engine oil.
Wet wipes (don't leave home without it)


I do off-road with my dominar so dropping the bike is common. Last thing you want is to snap your gear shifter and levers and leave u stranded.

Most importantly, know how to do minor repairs yourself.

I had a few times needed to do road side repair on both my bike and my friends bike. I've broken enough parts off my bike already and fixed many others.

My kit is substantial but you might want to add the following.

1) tweezers
2) silicon eye wash cup
3) surgical gloves

Now I understand why some items are part of your packing list, ie. gear shift and levers.

Thanks.

wow this is exactly what i had in mind!
was looking at getting another lightweight adventure bike that i could take into gnarly track like the ktm 390 adventure.
and also thinking about modding something like the dominar or the fz150 or the leoncino 250 to turn them into something that could be taken offroad.

mind sharing what mods you made to your dominar?
mighty interesting

You can check out my last post on the pulsar and dominar thread with a video link and some pictures.


30/70 zeneos turino adv tyres
Handlebar risers
Givi tail and pannier racks
Aux lights
Touring windshield.
foldable levers
43T rear sprocket

About that. Bike remains stock

If you are thinking of something to mod to go off road, start with something lighter. An fz150 would be good. And so is the older duke 200 which can be had for cheap. The old duke 200 even has more ground clearance than the 390 adventure, albeit less suspension travel.

I have test ridden the 390adv twice, both time finding it not having enough shove/torque and bumpy even tho it had that fully adjustable wp suspension.
Can't imagine how it would feel on rough gravel at speed.

But seen someone changed that stock suspension with forks taken from a Honda crf 150. That should improve the feel

You don't need that much power off road. What you need is low rpm torque which singles do well. You could always go with a bigger sprocket if you need more push.

Remember the 390 ADV is just a duke in an adv frock. For the more hard core stuff you are much better off with a CRF or KLX ..but those are 250cc only so even less powerful.

Riding off road is just knowing what you and the bike can do. The 390 and my dominar works decently on light offroading, mostly limited by the tyres, suspension travel and ground clearance. Not once I thought I needed more power.

yeah maybe need to take a look at crf or klx.

just that with the 390 i could ride to the trail. whereas crf klx i need to load it up on the truck.

You can. Just not fast. I have a friend that swapped out the knobbies for a little more street friendly dunlop d605 on his CRF and rides everywhere with it.
