Smart stuff to have around....
11/24/06 at 13:26:22

Do you have a spare parts stash? What things are prone to breaking after a few years? Clutch cable? Throttle cable? I know there are folks here with older bikes & lots of miles. I want to buy things before they need replaced, but not years before I need them. I have a tube for front & rear & rim strips. But, not even a spark plug for spare parts other than the tubes. Suggestions from the folks with experience?

a spark plug, some oil filters, motor oil, a set of front brake pads and a clutch cable are the only spares I keep on hand.
