With todays bikes, there are some things that you can repair on the road, but most things being electronic are best left to a professional. Below I'll try to give you some of the things that would be usefull for a tool kit for the road in case of a breakdown.

A multi tip screwdriver (2 in 1) phillips and regular on the tips.

Spark plug wrench.

Pair of vice grips 6"-8" Or Channel lock pliers.

Set of torx bits (just the bits) preferrably ones that will fit into the multi tip screwdriver handle.

A multi tool of allen keys.(6-10 piece set in one tool).

Small set of 6 point wrenches.

Small 3/8 drive socket set, if you have the room.

A 6'' adjustable wrench.

Tubeless tire repair kit with inflator.

Spare fuses.

Pair of cutting pliers (side cutters).

A length of plastic tubing for "borrowing" some gas.

A dozen or so nylon zip ties.

Electrical tape.

Some assorted bolts and nuts.

A few different size hose clamps.

A few feet of safety wire to get you home if a cable breaks.

Emergency repair barrel for the clutch cable(has 2 screws that clamp the cable for a temp repair).

A 12 volt test light.

A small flashlight that works.

Some rags to clean up with also a tiny spray can of WD40 to use as a hand cleaner or a lube.

Most important is a cell phone when you find out you can't fix it.

Sounds like a lot but will get you through some of the smaller break downs.
