Engines with proper lubrication and cooling can work for days (metal parts never touch each other); that is what big ship engines do.
Hence, you need to keep an eye on the temperature gauge or light and on the oil level visor (if the oil light goes on, it maybe too late).
At high rpm's, some Ninjette engines use some oil, so taking some oil with you and checking the level after a couple of hours may prevent huge damage.
Taking extra coolant may be extreme, but do it if you have space.
You secondary chain will need some tender care during the trip, specially if riding in adverse weather conditions.
Also take a tire patching-plugging kit, air pump and something to clean your visor with.
