Funny, I always thought a rain suit would get me home dryer and sooner...  Roll Eyes

book?... magazine?... are you leaving little presents under the bridge too?   Shocked

I guess then you should add TP and a small shovel to your list.   Grin

Don't forget the essential baling wire!

A dozen winds around the hand is enough material to fix nearly anything temporarily.  And pliers with decent wire cutters, but I've always got those on my belt anyway. Cheesy

Is there any difference between the msr fuel canister and an aluminum water bottle?  

Don't try to store fuel in an ordinary water bottle. Use the MSR one.

It's specially vented to accommodate fuel expansion in hot temps.

Plus, you might accidentally pour water into your fuel tank ... or drink gasoline!  :'(

Most of that stuff fits in the drink bottle and the pepper pot.

How much is virile? Is it sold by the gram or ounce? What does it cost to ship it to New Zealand? Is it stronger and does it last longer than nitrile? Is it manufactured in Italy?

jcstokes, the drink bottle/tool holder idea is great.  Consider it 'stolen'.

Incidentally, I bought my S40 used and I think the tool kit is incomplete.  Is there an essential item that comes with the stock tool kit that I should look at replacing?  Most other items can be replaced with better quality but I don't want to miss a bike-specific tool that I may be missing.

You might want to keep the original spark plug wrench.  It gets in there pretty well.

The only thing I think you can't replace with better quality is the belt tension guage thingy.  It's junk anyway...throw it as far as possible and never think about it again. See the tech section about belt adjustments.

4mm allen wrench for the screw at the back of the seat. Not sure if one is supposed to come in the tool kit, but mine didn't have one.

One of those right angle removable adaptors  to make it easy to inflate the rear tyre if necessary.

Have three, ‘bags’ on the bike.
The, small, ‘Headlight’ bag.  The Insurance Card, a small, screwdriver, with various bits, a crescent, a few wrenches,  hand warmers, set of gloves.
In a rear side bag, a, ‘Rain Suit’  (Frog Tog Knock Offs) Head Gator, another pair of gloves.  and a few more tools.
All those items are permanent.
Most of the rest of the room is empty, to accommodate, a trip to the hardware store, for, ’things’. or the ‘mail’, or, the Most Important Thing, “Amber Fluid”.
Other items, which I would think I would need, are in, ‘packets’, then they go in, if I think I may need them. And what are in those, ‘packets’, of, ’things’,  are all dependent on where you go, how long you ride, and where you live.

Their is one member here, who rides from, 200 feet to 5,000 feet, and, “scores Nice Leather Jackets”.
Which,  Of Course being in AZ, “Does Not Need”,  and  is Totally un willing to, ’share’.
Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Anyway, a suggestion is: Pack/Have, what you think you will need,  ‘ALL  the time’.  
Than, ‘have’ things ready to pack, for, "That Trip”.

A length of parachute cord in case you see something that you want that won't fit in the bag.And Learn how to tie good knots. A bowline is essential.
