I like to carry:
A way to fix a flat tyre
(this I use on the Fazer:

and this (in case it is dark and pouring rain) - quicker, but messier:

And a small bicycle pump (to top up after using CO2 cartridges).
Way to change oil, spark plugs (and spare plugs), brake pads, coolant, chain tensioner etc. It all comes down to several wrenches, a ratchet with a needed parts (I don't carry full ratchet kit, just needed sizes), few allen wrenches etc.
Way to remove wheels (in case of major tyre failure) - also a few wrenches.
Set of spare bulbs and fuses. It all packs under the seat (alongside alarm and scottoiler). Yes, I also carry scottoiler oil if it's a really long trip - but this doesn't fit under the seat.
What I don't carry, but think it is wise to carry is a set of spare levers and a spare clutch cable.
Spare levers and a spare clutch cable are a smart thing to carry.

Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
