Buy spare parts ahead, if something gives out on trip they can be overnighted, rather than waiting a week…

Take enough tools so most any repair can be done on the road $20 Walmart tool kit

Take withs especially on long trips:

Insulated Wire, Electrical tape, 5 min Epoxy/Super glue, tire repair kit, tie wraps,

1 spark plug, 1 qt. oil, small flashlite, tire gauge, valve core removal tool (kind in the cap), drinkable water use for radiator/battery too. Fuses, Green Slime or Fix A Flat, padlock & chain, paper funnel, small 1st Aid Kit, spare key, rag(s), Dawn (Hand cleaner), Windox, grease, hypoid oil. Just carry enough in small containers to get you to the next Walmart/town.

Do not pull out nails/screws out of the tire until you are where you can fix the tire.

If you take parts/tools you will not need them, don't take them and you will need them!

I service/buy bikes frequently. I frequently find most bikes rarely get proper servicing. Batteries, carbs, tires, oil, brakes go first, usually in that order. Honestly how often to you check?
