I've done a lot of cycle touring and it is really common (and easy to change) to carry a set of cables....
thanks!

Small jumper cables are a good idea in case battery goes dead. But DO NOT worry about throttle cable or clutch. If your bike is fairly new (under 5 years) then the throttle and clutch cables should be FINE.
I would carry 3 tire irons ... two small, one large. Also, 2 or 3 spare tubes.
Below, just a couple different tool kits I have used. Just a couple ideas for you.

Note: Quik Steel, Two part Epoxy, Elec tape on tool handles, small stick magnet, levers, emery cloth, rubber cement,
small elec. kit with multimeter, grip lock pliers. NOT SHOWN BUT IMPORTANT: tire irons, LED headlight for working on bike or whatever, spare tubes.
Careful editing is important, getting rid of tools that do not fit your bike or you do not need. Yours is a modern bike, very little to go wrong beyond flat tires and doing oil changes and picking up dirty fuel.
