a spare wallet. LOL. Seriously, aside from money... clipons, levers, footpegs at least. Maybe some alternative gearing.

everything neal said, plus rear sets if you have the means. its also nice to have extra bits and pieces like fuel line, safety wire, duct tape, etc. i would venture to say its equally important to bring the extra BS that racing needs. canopy, chairs, battery tender, jump box, more tools than you think you need, tie downs, gallons and gallons of water, and anything else you dont think you need.

clutch cables and shift linkages are some other often broken items. in the case of my 2 stroke i cary plenty of spare plugs, fluids, jets, and spare pistons and other internals. the list never seems complete

not sure hat you are racing but if it's something uncommon...i.e. track side vendors don't carry stuff for that model you'll have to lug more with you. if it's a pretty common bike you can get away with bringing spare cash instead and just buy what you break from the vendors as you need it.


oh yeah and bring every tool you can carry.

In order of most important to less important.

1. Money....Lots of spare money.

2. Wheels with rains mounted.

3. Clipons , rearsets and levers.

4. Helmet, gloves,

5. Plastiscs if possible.

6. misc electronic parts..I.E. coils, sensors, switches, etc etc...

7. More money

8. Spare money

9. Keys (in case you mis-place your primary set {both bike and vehicle})

10. Ego.....Yours may become shattered or too big to carry after a few races.
