I'm really not trying to be a smarta$$ here-it would seem to me that a new RK would be the equivalent of a new car. If something does go wrong on the road there wouldn't be much you could do to fix it there. You would need the scanners and so forth to run the diagnostics before you could begin to figure it out. So beside the appropriate screw or torx drivers for the odd clsmp or two that might loosen up (unlikely I think) I would think the best thing to have would be a cell phone and AAA. Seriously.

Bring Vice grips, crescent, screwdrivers, tie wraps, pliers, a few allens and a knife. If you are gung-ho bag up a ratchet with a few torx heads and sockets.
I loan my tools to others on the road way more than I need them. Cool to help people out that need a simple fix. I made a guy's day with a tie wrap when his kickstand threw the spring.

As you do your own service on the bike, 1,000 mile, 5,000 etc. just take the tools you use and put them in your saddlebag.

Anyway, tool kits aren't expensive, just buy one.
