like:
bulbs,

Pilot-Safe ( to fill up a empty Tire )
some wires/cable
tape -small for electric - big to fix parts

thats what i normally carry with me

any more suggestions

( gas-cable, brake pads, tires, ......? ) let us know what you do...

Heavy tape and a unisolated wire to fix some breaks in fuel or water lines and to fix parts which are getting hot like the exhaust pipes. Some fuses and special wrenches like ball-point allen wrenches for the third Gen's.

The only tool I carry is a Victorinox,I rely on my two breakdown service companies,they would know more than I would.The other two important items I carry,is my iPOD & portable dvd player which are all connected to the bike.

I carry fuses, electrical tape, zip ties, a small set of wrenches, a set of ball mill allen wrenches, screwdrivers, tire repair kit and tire pump. That's about it.

;D On long trips abroad i allways carry a good tool kit , a tubless tyre repair kit and spare bulbs . The tool kit contains a compleat set of metric spanners from 9mm to 17mm a couple of screwdrivers two flat and two phillips both of different sizes , i also like to carry a litre of engine oil as i do not like to mix oils .
