Greenlake, I will be very surprised if you come back with the rack still attached. The sub-frame will not take that kind of weight. The rack is great but not what it is supported on. At least that is the way on my KTM 400 EXC.
Have a great trip. blocker

Not to beat a dead horse but I fourth the rear rack assessment.
In addition to breaking the subframe, light enduros handle like crap in Baja woops with any kind of gear strapped on the back and up high like that. When the back end starts to pass the front in the woops you'll have no time left to correct the issue before impact.
Put that stuff in a backpack and the bike will handle like it should.
Just trying to help.
Have a teriffic ride guys!

Oh they were told. Tom tells everyone exactly the same thing everytime he goes. It's up to you to listen, and believe. Now look at John James last year at Baja he lost his whole one side Jesse type bag and he never did find it either. So anything that you strap to the back of the bike, with the road conditions in Mexico, You can be sure that something will come off. There for future riders ...beware.

Darren always loses his license plate...Don't quite know what it is with him and those plates. Couldn't be going too fast and hitting too hard ....nah that can't be it... did you see the turn signals are both missing too.
