It had a major service by a Yamaha dealership in Johannesburg. They showed a photo that made it look fairly stripped down. Bike did look amazingly good for the distance/time spent traveling.
Saw them for an evening at Linex Yamaha Randburg a couple weeks ago, awesome trip they doing, they have a few rules on their trip like:
No staying in hotels or B & B's, they find accommodation with the community, or sleep at police stations/fire stations
Travel off road as much as possible
No gps
I had the good fortune to meet Ivana and Manu in Cape Town and show them around our beautiful city. One has to admire them for throwing caution to the wind in attempting this epic adventure.
