Stocking Up On Parts

[Woodsy]

First of all, I love my 2017 TTSE.  After about a year and a half, this bike is easier and more comfortable to ride than my Harley!

But under the circumstances that I bought this wonderful bike, and the plans that I am making for it, I must plan ahead for the impending difficulty in obtaining parts going forward. 

As such, I am asking this:  If anyone can identify their top five major component parts that, in their experience, wear out or tend to malfunction or break easily, what would they be?  I don't want to buy and stock an entire replacement bike, but I'm just looking for a starting point here. 

An acquaintance of mine recently broke a bolt, and the TTSE part number for that bolt, was not to be had in the United States (though it was listed under a different part number for a different bike).

Thank you in advance.

Pretty complete long term spares list, coconut.

[LarryJa]

A thorough list Coconut!
I had to laugh. The 1st spares that I bought, even before taking delivery of my used 2013 trophy, were 3 pivot bolts (no. 1 on your list!). No.2 has to be the clutch slave kit, too!.
I'd add a few cam cover gaskets to your list, that's about it.

What about a handful of those little plastic panel mounts with the push-in pins?

Invest in a Bondhaus 5mm ball end T-Handle wrench.  It makes servicing the bike soooooo much easier and faster.

That list is extensive, but IMO much of it isn't needed. In the 400,000 or so miles I've ridden, and 6 years a road raced, I've never one time had to replace the caliper piston seals on a motorcycle brake caliper. This is not a wear item, and if you maintain your brakes properly, these parts will last essentially forever. This is also true of the brake pad pins. Unless you lose one, you're good.

Also, none of the bearings will never be hard to find; bearings are standardized items that can be cross-referenced and sourced at bearing supply places all over the world.

Also, if you grab up one of my modded shifter pivot bolts that I will have back in hand shortly, you'll never replace that part again :)  (look for a post on this in the forum).

For the OP: your acquaintance should be approaching the 1st IBR checkpoint here shortly :)

I'm watching for the pivot bold myself, even though I have extras and it's a fairly quick, painless replacement since I NEVER gorilla fist them in and they always come out without any damage or breakage.  A one time solution would appeal to me.
Thanks,
Glenn
