Hello Hendo,
another thing I suggest to carry with you on tour is a short strap with a fastener like you have it on rucksacks.
Reason: if the mainstand spring breaks you can secure the mainstand to the swingarm without worrying (ducktape or ziptie can break).
You can go on with your tour and loose no time at some annoying place for example without shadow, or when it rains etc. etc....- that strap holds and problem is fixed in a minute!
You can release and re-use the strap when you sit on the bike so you can use your mainstand almost normaly.
When you arrive at hotel, camping resort, apartement after the day trip. let bike cool down, take a shower, take a coffee or beer and replace the spring unhurriedly.
Take also a spring hook with you for this purpose.
For sure I am fully with Ludwig: check all your wires and electrics. when you got your electrics revised and you use a modern regulator.....take a spare one with you.
