Yep, but that comment was on fixing carbies not electrical. Got just about all the documentation known on that bike and with today's smart phones there is no excuse for not having it on ya. Take a soldering iron on my FI bike as well. It's about as important as vice grips now. I know which I used more often. Due to my own accessory harness though. No failing of the OEM wiring, but I bought the thing new. And the BM wiring hardware is pretty good with high quality wiring and insulation and Tyco gear. Their routing is another story, but I've modified the bike so much that I've solved that.
When I started trail riding with the old fella's here I was a complete noob and kept getting told to "be prepared" over and over. So since I worked out for myself what to take at all times and how to minimise it. So last time I went out with one we had a flat and between myself and another fella who got told the same thing we pulled out all the toys available. Should have seen the look on his face. Had the thing back on the tracks in record time.

Problem solved
In case anyone is curious, I sold my efi 2005 BMW Dakar and bought a 1983 BMW R80ST, and really haven't looked back. I love the airhead's much lower C of G. This is a far better handling bike for Colorado mountain roads than the Dakar. Best of all, there just wasn't a noticeable problem with high mountain passes despite going from efi to carbs. I do miss the Dakar's 60mpg, though--the airhead is only good for about 40mpg.
Thanks for everyone's input--most helpful.
