I highly recommend an extra quart of oil, funnel, shop towels, first aid kit, tire plugger and compressor, and spare fuel in a motorcycle-safe container. I also recommend spare gloves and socks, rainsuit, something to clean the windshield without scratching it, a spare key, and $100 tucked away someplacesafe and inconspicuous in case you need cash. ...and don't forget your credit card and cell phone. My personal list of "junk in the trunk" goes further still, but those are my own Boy Scout sort of preparedness. Yours may differ.
other than personal items I used Scotty (Nancy's toys) list. Travel everywhere in USA and Canada weeks on end..recommend AAA RV roadside coverage. Saved my $$ budget a couple times in 70k miles

Wow, what a great response! Now I understand why some of you may have trailers behind your Spyder. I'm really impressed with the feedback. Plenty of good advice about some tweaks to the Spyder and improving the ryder - me. No kidding, I had several "doh" moments when I realized all the improvements I need to make in my packing list and preparation for a trip.
I also downloaded an app that lists some of the Spyder trouble codes, especially since I just had my first "DPS" code pop up. I immediately pulled over, shut off the Spyder (probably not a good idea as if its running, leave it on), said some harsh words and restarted. All was good as the code was gone and it hasn't come back either. Who would have thought Andrew Dice Clay was a Spyder whisperer
