Getting ready to order the rear shock spanner wrench and was going to put these spares in a box for later servicing:
an air filter,
2 new rubbers for the cylinder cover bolts,
gasket for the head cover,
an exhaust & a muffler gasket,
rollers and slides & 10mm bolt
belt cover filter element
belt cover gasket
12mm clutch nut & two 0-rings
belt
rear & front brake pads and springs

Parts I have in hand: 2 OEM spark plugs, oil filters & several crush washers & Qts of HP4M , full set of OEM valve shims.

What else might I need for a few yrs of routine servicing?
Thanks in advance..........

Sounds like you have pretty much everything you would need for a while?

Aside from the routine maintenance parts, here are a few items I like to have around for long term "keepers".....
found these at a local breaker.

The last few pics show details of the Forza parking brake assembly.....the brake drum is also the wheel spacer.
I think only NA bikes got a parking brake....Euro bikes have a splined spacer in place of the mechanical brake shoes and drum.

The salvage Forza had front end collision damage that bent the front rim and front forks....
remarkably, the rider had managed to trash most body panels on BOTH sides of the bike!
The bike was low mileage and most of the internal items looked new.
I picked up the rear wheel with tire and brake rotor, the front brake rotor, the false swingarm with parking brake assembly and bearings, the brake drum/wheel spacer and the seat opener/damper.

I've found that a spare rear wheel is a very useful item if you change your own tires....
rear tires wear faster and usually require more work to remove....most require exhaust system removal.

With a spare rim, you can change the tire at your leisure and have it ready when needed.
