Motorcycle Camping !
~ Tools ~

Plastic zip lock bags:
Rain gets in all over the place and your things should be kept dry.

I use plastic bags and zip lock bags for everything even if they are in a pack or saddle bag.

Socket wrench and sockets:
If you have limited carrying capacity then bring a wrench and just the sockets that fit your bike, including a spark plug socket.

The bike's standard tool kit:
A lot of bikes come with a tool kit specifically designed for on the road maintenance.

This can save you from putting together a hodge-podge of tools yourself.

The Honda Goldwings I've seen all have them as standard issue. I have had other bikes that had the tool kit as well.

You can buy a motorcycle kit that Includes tire gauge, sockets and a ratchet and combination wrenches, adjustable wrench, locking pliers, multi-tip screwdriver, flashlight and hex keys.

Oil and grease:
If you can fit it somewhere a spare quart of oil is a good idea.

If you pull a trailer you might want to bring some grease to pack the wheel hubs if you are going on a longer trip.

Then there's chain lube for bikes with a chain, and brake fluid If you have room for it.

Tires:
You need something to check tire pressure.

Tires have to be inflated at the recommended pressure or there can be problems.

A tire pressure gauge is the size of a pen but very handy. To fill tires the service stations have an air pump. You can also use an air compressor that runs off of the battery. It is small and packs easily.

Fire:
I carry a small butane cigarette lighter in a bag. I don't smoke but it has come in handy

Duct Tape:
Every body knows that you could build or fix almost anything with duct tape
