Roo ships in a weeks time.
Update:
I did the fuel pump removal and pulled it apart, there is nothing in the workshop manual that says you can do this and you can not buy the parts separately. It was the filter screen inside the pump that was the problem, removed, cleaned and bike performed faultlessly over the 3000klms this past weekend. Link to what I did.
I upgraded the light globes to Phillips +80 E-xtreme Power, H4's for the headlights and H7's for the Hella FF50's. VERY happy with the result and light increase.
Sorted out a niggling problem with audio from my GPS, pulled the cig/speaker fitting apart and soldered the audio straight into it and then instead of having the power come from the cig lighter fitting I hard wired it to constant battery power.
Tomorrow I ride to Brisbane for some minor alterations to my seat, get new tyres and then back home. Thursday Roo gets its final service before I leave. This weekend will be filled with cleaning and final loading tests.
Next Wednesday I ride 1100klms down to Sydney, get a pic with the Australian Kawasaki manager Robert Walker and overnight at a mates place.
Thursday I ride it to the container depot and get it ready to load. Once done I go and collect Ruku (Kawasaki's 1400GTR) then ride home.

Getting close now
Well whats been happening.
Roo now gets loaded for shipping on the 28th May in Sydney, dates moved to fit in better with available ships so Dave at GetRouted says and thats ok by me as it gives me an extra week after FarRide #10 to Albury and back on the 16/17th May (3000k loop in 2 days)
Little lite is fitted, aux tank cover fitted and tested a couple of weeks ago with a 2500k loop to Home>Cobar>Bourke>Cunnamulla and home over 2 days.
Surge problem seems to be the filter in the fuel pump, not supposed to be cleanable but I will attempt what has been suggested by KMA over the weekend.
Final money paid to a few things, only travel insurance to finalise and that's it apart from expenses in the US.
Oh I also upgraded all my lights, headlights and Hella FF50's with Phillips +80 E-Treme Power globes. Very happy with the lights now.
