When your throttle cable breaks, you WILL loose the ferrule from the twistgrip!
Whatever you carry will ensure that the particular part will never let you down, so I carry an inner tube.....
Rear light bulb may be worthwhile.

You might want to put some of that anti puncture stuff in your tyres, it's easier to pump them up than change a tube in this weather. And make sure your tyres are as new as possible, worn tyres puncture easier as well as having less grip!

Oh and a spare chain link! Make sure the breather is pointing to the chain so it gets some extra lube, road salt is a real chain killer.

Amazing what you can fix with a few tie-wraps, some stiffish wire, a few jubilees and a roll of tape. I also carry a couple of swarfega wipes.

Although I own a slightly more modern (reliable!!! Aye right!) I always carry a spare plug, a fuse or two, a couple of simple electrical connectors or left over wire, a bulb or two, and spare clutch-type cable and nipples. A puncture repair kit is handy too. Its not about 'hoe' to use something - instead it is how you could mis-use a bit of kit.

A roll of gaffer tape and a knife to cut it with, for when things like indicators snap off, saves it flapping about on its wire while you ride home.

thanks lads but was really wondering if there was any part that might give problems and is easy to carry and fit .
i have been riding for over 45yrs so things like wire cable tyes gaffer tape is allways carried plus a magic little gas soldering iron.
theres another thing i carry on most of my bikes is a spair clutch and brake lever !!
