Small straight screwdriver to adjust carb, stubby phillips to take off seat and tighten battery posts. That's it.

My tool bag all rolls up with the following and will fit in the standard size baggie: Full set of allen and torx wrenches, screwdriver kit (the ones with the plug in flat/phillips heads), medium crescent wrench, 15A fuses, spark plug socket, 10mm & 3/8-7/8" wrenches, oil bottle adapter (also doubles as funnel) for pouring, electrical tape roll, spark plug gauge, air pressure gauge, 1' of bailing wire for "loose stuff"-quick fix like exhaust lost bolts. Can of "Fix-a-Flat" and plug kit if you have room on long trips. You can do quite a lot with these tools and have saved my a$$ before.
