1980 XS650G LH Airbox removal

Namor · Apr 5, 2024

Hello. New to Yamaha’s. Trying to trace down a fuel leak. Looks like I have to remove the stock plastic air box to see what’s going on. Must be some hidden bolts somewhere in the mess. Got the manifold loose, underside hose detached and obvious lower right mounting screw out. Any further steps, hints or procedures greatly appreciated. Thanks

There’s a 10 mm bolt head forward of fuse box. There are four of them. Two go into the fuse box.

Look at a parts diagram, that will show you what you need to know. You've found the lower rear bolt (#36) but there's another that goes down into the top of the box at the front (#34) .....
