Necessity: Mobile Phone
Niceity: Breakdown Cover, nope, make that necessity.
OH, and duck tape and zip ties

I have taken several long distance trips of more than 5000 miles at a time  on my 98 , and to be honest only needed tools once to do a roadside chain swap and front sprocket .
If heading out on a long journey I will make sure the tires are new to fairly new , I will bring a spare set of brake pads for front and rear , cuz you can't always find them readily at a bike shop .
I will make sure the oil and filter are changed right before leaving .

tigger 2 has a chain oiler so I will bring a small bottle of oil for it .
and I always , always bring a spare ignition sensor p/u .

For tools I bring what I need to do roadside repairs with
small multi meter
8mm, 10 ,mm 12,mm 14,mm 15,17,19 mm combo wrenches
3/8ths drive ratchet with torx bits that fit the brake caliper mounts and a 19mm socket for the rear axle
a 22 mm wrench for front axle nut
a 4 way screwdriver
roll of electrical tape
a dozen or so zip ties
and a metric allen wrench set that has 4, 5,6 8,12mm
and a small 12 volt air pump with some patches for tubes and now that I am tubeless I bring tire plugs also a set of motion pro tire irons
and a big fookin adjustable wrench

it all fits neatly into a canvas tool roll that doesn't take up much space in the top box .

This is the tool list for trips that I am thousands of miles from home  :D

shorter trips I generally bring nothing but a cell phone and a credit card  :D
