I keep it well tuned and work on it proactively to avoid the maintenance issues that will cause problems.  Of course, things go wrong still on these bikes and I have generally been able to get myself and my bike home with what I had on hand (or purchased). Most of what I carry has been used for other riders along the way- spare clutch cables, spark plugs, points, tubes, etc..
