Thumbs up

Problem solved. As ventur4th suggested in the previous post, it was the fuel pump relay. No dealer tow-in charge, but I did have to take a half day off work to get the fairing off and pull the relays, which means I have that much less vacation time to take my Sprint on a road trip.

It does bring a question to mind though; what sort of spare parts do you guys suggest carrying on an extended road trip through sparsely populated areas? I've seen suggested on other threads in the forum that carrying an extra clutch and throttle cable is a good plan, and obviously things like fuses and relays don't take up much space and could be easily included. Assuming the bike's up-to-date with all major maintenance, what are some parts I should always have with me?

BTW, my list already includes important parts like a box of rubbers.
