The older I get the harder it gets to come up with this stuff, so it takes a while.
I don't see what you're complaining about anyway, I see no usefull suggestions by anyone named "jonnybravo" :dry:

Special tools?
It seems every year when we go to the blessing someone has a problem before we leave
2005 Had to pull over twice to unclog bowls of carbs no fuel filter
2006 Fuel tank sprang a leak
2007 fouled plugs
2008 Caliper kept sticking had to limp home early
2009 Clutch cable
2010 bad coil
2011 fuel pump
that is a a partial list of things from the guys we ride over there with. Obviously having a spare coil plugs clutch cable on shelf helps
but to anticipate a caliper hanging up could be hose collapse master cylinder caliper itself or having a spare tank (that matches) those are things you might have, by riding your bike evryday and you know you need just havent replaced
the clogged bowls on the carb and the bad tank were same guy rode his bike alot, but is like my exwife puts the key in and if it starts it in perfect condition.
my advice is ride it and if you pay attention you will get the feeling for what you may need you cant get a throttle or clutch cable from walmart on a sunday when 30 people are waiting on you to go ride/.
and collect parts seems like the more people I talk to I find they still have some of their old parts ie: coils mastercylinder etc.. put em on the shelf they may save you on a hot summer sunday when everyone is yelling at you to get in the saddle
Oh yeah and order a new one on monday

What does that have to do with anything? If that's the best you can come up with then you need to give up.

You don't have a clue, and I'm not interested in correcting that deficiency.
You're talking to yourself from this point on, so maybe this thread will get back on topic.
