The here listed spare parts, or at
least some of them, are specific to my Honda XRV750 Africa
Twin. I visited several forums, read and also asked about parts that are
prone to fail eventually. These "weak spots" are different on
every type of motorcycle, therefore I highly recommend to inform
yourself about your bike. There are sooo many forums on the web, there
certainly is at least one that specializes in your motorcycle.

Spark plug Euro 3,95 + 2,95 for the cover My Honda Africa Twin has only two cylinders, but needs 4 spark plugs. It is quite unlikely that more than one spark plug fails at the same time, therefore I carry only one as a spare. A waterproof and unbreakable cover is important, as it doesn't only protect from water and dirt, but also protects from accidentally changing the spark plug gap.

Clutch lever + hand break lever about Euro 15 each A crash can happen quickly, especially on gravel roads or off road, and then it can happen that the clutch lever or break lever snaps off. Even if the bike just tips over a lever can snap. One can carfully drive on without the front break, but without the clutch it is much harder. Therefore I highly recommend to carry a set of replacement levers.

Voltage regulator about Euro 60, used At my Honda XRV750 Africa Twin the voltage regulator is known to fail at some point. Therefore I carry a spare on trips and hope that I notice the failing of the regulator before the entire electric burns up because of overvoltage.

Fuel pump about Euro 90, used At my Honda XRV750 Africa Twin the fuel pump is a big weak spot. The pump last with some luck about 30,000 km until the contacts are burned up and need to be replaced, which is rather hard to do on the road. When the tank is absolutely full one can bypass the pump and ride without the pump, but only with a full tank. Therefore I always carry a spare fuel pump.

Chain master links and spare
fuses I always carry a few master
links for my chain, as it already happened twice to me that the
chain tor on trips. Then one of course also needs tools to remove
the torn chain links.

Spare light bulbs I always carry a set of spare light bulbs for my motorcycle, 1x head lamp bulb (H4 at my bike), 1x light bulb for indicator, 1x light bulb for rear/break light. The spare light bulbs have to be specific to your bike.

Bowden cable repair kit Euro 3,95 The cable on clutch and throttle can break after some years of use. With this repair kit one has at least a chance to temporarily repair it.
