If anyone can post a photo and or list of the factory Tool kit , that would be interesting ...

No biggy , but would be neat to have this with the bike ...

This one might have had the oil dipstick added, dunno if the original kit had one as standard. Anyone else know ?

[underdog57]

Nice picture Brian !!
From what it sounds like the mid/rear dip stick was standard with the kit ... Not positive , seems like I've read that ..

You're missing the cable for changing the rear tire

[79XS11F]

The oil dip stick is in deed part of the tools package. The rear tire change tool is usually stored under the flip door on the side cover. Most side covers are missing this part.

I looked up the parts on bikebandit and it looks like the dipstick is still available , everything else was listed unavailable .

The dip stick and the rear tire wire tool are seperate p/n's as is the tool kit ...

Very interesting looking tools !!

Rear Tire Cable

I think that the toolkit for the specials doesn't have the rear tire cable because the specials had the short exhausts so you can get the rear axle out without needing to winch up the suspension.

The special does have a cable , all it does is hold up the rear caliper . A hanger kinda thing ...
I have the supplent to the special in the back section of the 79 xs service manual . It mentions the cable there , plus the parts list has a p/n listed for it.
I could be wrong as this is what it seems from the clues ...

And i'm not a guru ...

My mistake. The special does have a wire hook thing.

For clarification

Hate bringing up old threads but for clarifications sake they must have stopped putting the wire in the specials toolkit starting in 1980, because I never had one and have owned the bike and kit since new.

tool kit

If I could add my two cents....
this is a picture I got of ebay of a suposably complete tool kit. It has some more allen wrenches and the tool needed to hook the wire on the swing arm for changing the rear wheel.

tool kit

Hey Bob just checked the garage I have a tool kit from a yamaha snowmobile. Some of the tools are the same some are not. If you want them I will ship them to you.
Also you can still get the fluid gauge from yamaha, got one last month for about four dollars.
