I'm going to be making an order for some of my Adly parts and was wondering if I should be proactive about ordering some other parts. I don't have time to inspect the entire bike to see what needs replacing but I'm willing to purchase a few of the common things.
I'm getting the gasket for the muffler right now. What else should I get?
Thanks,
Kent

Spark plugs, intake gasket, Belt and rollers they are probably the original, exhaust nuts and studs, hoses. All good spares to have.

Sorry in advance...but I replace the fuel and 2T oil often...run it hard as hell, make it like it! Apply, lather, repeat.
(Always good to have a spare ring set, a clean your pipe poo!) 'Da shite! If you do the gasket...do the doo! Ask if that makes little sense.

klassickent: Many here make gaskets, save money. Super easy to do. just buy the gasket blank sheets. Copper too! I cut my own...and, can either get thicker one, or stack them...Copper based anti-seize is your friend! Not for wankin' however. If you do regular tuning? Hmmm, just run the piss out of it!
For me? One spare plug if a different range. (+/-) (subjective, I live near sea level, high humidity, but travel to mountains and...high humidity)
CVT? Tune it right, no spares needed. Old scoot? Maybe a few fuses?
Really, my biggest problems here are with shitty cast wheels, leaking air...or equally, shitt worn tires leaking air. High temp, high humidity locations are hard on air fills. Sounds crazy, but the air here is wet. At home I dry my own air...or dry Nitrogen before a trip. When I swap tires on a tubeless? Always use a thin seal. My tubed wire wheels are NEVER a problem. My scoots leak, my cars leak.
Lastly...carry more beer. Beer makes life seem as it should if you had none. My Gyro was designed to transport beer in Tokyo, or, where ever. I have not given up that cooler space. That would be stoo-pid!

Ooh I didn't know DIY gaskets was a thing. I ordered some heat resistant stuff from amazon this morning.
