what spare parts do you keep?

[U_W v2.0]

so, what parts do you keep a spare of? i.e constant replacement set (like you use it, you replace the backup immediatly)

personally i like to keep a spare set of:

complete bulb set (front, rear, possition, dash, clock, indicators)
spare battery
spare brake pads and disk (front disk brake)
spare brake shoes (rear drum brake)
spare engine oil
spare brake fluid (hydrolic front disk brake)

obviously the only spare parts i ride with are the bulbs and a multi-head screw driver. sod getting fined. if i where to get pulled over for a bad bulb i'd at least be able to say "oh, must've just gone, one second" pop out the screw driver n relevant spare bulb, change it on site and hopefully avoid that darned ticket as the copper can then see its working lol

None.

If it's gone, replace it.

If it looks like it's going soon, order it.

I went through a stage of stockpiling stuff for my old car once; I still have most of that stuff but no longer have the car. Once you start buying parts because you "might need it in the future" it's easy to turn in to a hoarder, so I only buy stuff on an as needed basis now.

I keep a complete set of pads, one pair on the bike.
Oil and filters
Bulbs kept on bike
Front wheel bearings kept on bike
Starter relay kept on bike

Enough parts in the shed to build a complete bike plus so it's never left off the road waiting for bits.

For the Harley, nothing.

For the Honda, two complete spare bikes.

[Dazbo666]

Small pack of fuses and the exhaust baffle under the bike seat.

Spare bulbs, engine oil, filters, brake fluid, spark plugs, wheel bearings and normally a full set of brake pads in the garage.

Also been replacing the swiss cheese OEM allen bolts with stainless alternatives, and recently replaced the rear brake disk with a new one that I'd bought 4-6 months earlier

brake / clutch levers. but then mine only cost £5 a pop, so not too much of an outlay for me. used the brake lever the other day dropping the bike on the driveway. replaced it there and then. new replacement turned up yesterday

Dunno why you'd keep a spare battery, the bugger sat doing nothing is more than likely gonna be shagged before the one your using everyday....

For my Africa Twin I have got, spare downpipes and collector box, spare wheels (with discs and tyres on), CDI, starter solenoid, vacuum fuel pump, electric fuel pump, complete set of bodywork, clutch basket, clocks, digital trip meter, all three brake calipers, swing arm, rack, seat, lock set, levers, brake pedal, gear lever, alloy bash plate, coils, inner tubes, oil filters, rear suspension linkages plus rebuild kit, speedometer drive.

In other words I never sold all of my previous AT, just the engine, carbs, forks, petrol tank and frame.

For my Varadero I have got spare downpipe gaskets (had one go and I hear it will do it again and again, dodgy design) and an oil filter.

Always carry a spare reg/rec with me, (have a voltage monitor fitted, any sign of overcharging and I can swap it out at the roadside. Mind you, thats from my Honda days!) Plus fuses, tail and headlight bulbs, a small allen key kit, multi head screwdriver kit and a split link. All can fit under the seat along with the chain and lock. (But thats the beauty of the ZZR, lots of storage space).

I'm terrible for hoarding spares. For my car, I have 3 spare engines, 2 spare gearboxes, a complete set of doors, plus loads of other mechanical bits and pieces. For the RXS, I've got a spare frame, engine, plus a couple of large boxes of stuff. Nothing for the GN as of yet, but that's going to change soon

I replace it when it breaks/looks close to wearing out.


I usually order parts quite early in advance of them failing or if I see a good deal on stuff like pads/tyres I'll stock up. I also have fluids (oil/coolant) ready for the next change (tend to buy brake fluid as and when I need it).


I don't keep spare non consumables or stuff with a short shelf life if I can help it as I'll either end up binning it or keeping it unused forever. I do however tend to keep all old components, not sure why but I have rather a lot of crap I should weigh in when I get a chance.

[kawakid]

The ER has zero zilch nothing klein nichts underseat storage so nothing at all.

On the Z I have a pack of bulbs and fuses of every design.

In my garage, I have some spare pegs and some oil filters, oil and crush washers that's about it.

Hi

I am bad for hoarding and do have loads of spares. Probably not the ones I need though. Load of spare bodywork for the older Aprilias. Load of brake pads. Oil filters. Load of Aprilia engine spares. Etc.

All the best
