1970 XS1 Tool kit

- Start date
I see some differences and similarities between it and 1983 if that helps. It appears someone tried to remove the axle nut with that flimsy 27mm wrench. My tool kit has two open end wrenches made like your 13/17. My kit had no tappet wrench.
Out of common sense, I would think the kit should have the grip for your Phillips head/ flat head screwdriver shaft.

It's there. It's the piece immediately left of the screwdriver.
From my 80SG
This was in my kit........
I added an extra set of pliers and an open end spanner.......

Do you know if there is a difference in the 1980 XSG II? My "Beauty" came with an empty palette.
No cover, no bag, no straps, and no tools. Just the empty pocket. Thanks,'TT'
According to the parts book, part number 3J3-W2810-00-00 applies to the tool kit for all XS650s 1970-1983.
Is there a diagram of how the bag is held in? By straps or by a cover under the side panel?
The tool kit is held in by an O'ring. There's a hook on either side of the box that the tool kit slides into. The opening to the box is behind the left side cover.
Ok, yes, I posted the pic of my toolbox above. Thanks.
All Yamaha ever used to hold the tool bag in was a thick o-ring stretched between the two tabs .....
I tried some cheapo heavy o-rings I had on hand but none lasted very long, breaking pretty quickly. Then I discovered the perfect solution at my local dollar store - heavy duty hair ties, lol .....
But I'll add that for many years I ran with nothing there and the tool bag stayed in fine.

I have bought side-covers with rub marks where the tool kit has come out of the pocket and rubbed on the inside of the side-cover. The way the tin side-covers are held on i suspect they would hold the toll kit and the side-cover wouldn't come off. On the later 80-83/4 bikes with the plastic side-covers if the tool kit rubbed on them they would push the side-cover off the bike.
The old XS650's had the tool kit by the battery.

My XS2 is in a tray next to the battery underneath the seat
Yes you are right.
I use some insulated single strand house wire wrapped around those tabs to hold the tool kit in. It can be useful for both mechanical and electrical repairs......
OK mebby some clean up is in order here.
