Recommended Listeroid parts? Anand 10/1 Electric Start Option?

Hello Group.

I'm slowly going about purchasing a 10/1 direct from Anand (to Canada). I am on a bit of a budget, so I was wondering which spare parts would be considered as most essential to include with my order. Importing is something that is familiar to me, so this should not present an issue.

As an unrelated question, I am also considering the "electric start" option (+$365.00). Does this design create greater difficulties with vibration and  balance? Should I just dump this idea? Thought?

Cheers and thanks in advance,

Richard

Thanks for the reply. I'm just east of Toronto, Ontario

Electric start it is then.....

The spares on their list would amount to an additional $450.00 (putting me over the magic number that I had in mind) so I will need to narrow the parts to down to an extra $100-150 or so

if it were me i would order the following as a minimum

6- head gskts
3- piston ring sets
if it is a plain brg engine
1 set of main brgs std
1 set of main brgs .010 undersize, in case i ever had to have the crank ground undersized
2 sets of std rod brgs
2 sets of .010" undersize rod brgs for the aforementioned possibility
2 spare injectors
1 spare injection pump
2 spare injector lines
1 spare starter
if they offer bronze idler gears i would get two of them, otherwise i would surely get 2 or 3 of the iron gears
2 extra sets of cylinder liner orings
an extra set of valves, one intake and one exhaust

failing some terrible calamity, i would think this list of parts should keep the engine operable for a very long time, provided
it is torn down, cleaned, inspected and reassembled using what has been learned by other owners, and it is properly maintained
and is never overheated to the point of damaging the liner or piston.

if you can swing it, a spare piston, and cylinder liner would be good insurance as well.

spare parts can always be resold to others should you find you don't need them.
