Motorcycle Repair: What to take on a trip, tire plug, quality chain


Question
2005 Suzuki Blvd M50. Any suggestions on specific spare parts, etc. to take on a 2500 mile trip. I have service manual and good general toolkit.

Answer
Hi Dave,

I would pack a tire plug kit and 12VDC air compressor for emergency tire repairs.

I would pack a quality chain lube, though not a concern in your case.

I would pack a headlight, turn, and brake bulbs, too.

Other than the above, if you need any spares make it a credit card and a cell phone. You can get needed parts and assistance with these two items.

Respectfully,
