Skid Posted July 13, 2011 #1 Posted July 13, 2011 Amazing! I've owned this bike for two years, and just discovered where Yamaha hides the tool kit....
Kirby Posted July 13, 2011 #2 Posted July 13, 2011 Sometimes all you have to do is ask. Glad you found it.
CaptainJoe Posted July 13, 2011 #3 Posted July 13, 2011 It's wonderful how reliable these bikes are... Isn't it? The one thing they don't contain is a big wrench for the left axle nut???? Oh well, guess you can't have everything...

That's yer own fault for taking so long to wear out that tire. And since this must be the first time you removed the bags, make sure you get the spacers and bushings back right. Once in a while one will fall out when moving the bags around the shop. captainjoe said: It's wonderful how reliable these bikes are... Isn't it?

I imagine they didn't know who could lift the bike up on the side of the road anyway.
elmicko Posted July 13, 2011 #5 Posted July 13, 2011 LOL One of the first things I did when I got my 2nd Gen was check out the tool kit. Compared to the one that came with my 86 Venture Royale, I wasn't too impressed. So now the owner of my old 1st Gen has a really nice tool kit from a 2nd Gen and the 1st Gen toolkit is riding in my 2nd Gen's saddlebag. Works for me.
Yammer Dan Posted July 13, 2011 #6 Posted July 13, 2011 Any Snap ring pliers in there?? I can't find mine. Where was it??
Guest Posted July 13, 2011 #8 Posted July 13, 2011 I dont think I ever used the stock tool kit other then to reach the spark plugs. I made up my own little bag of tools, mostly stuff from Harbor Freight.Plus a few assorted screwdrivers, pliers, etc. Some elec tape and an assortment of cable ties and fuses round it out.
Midicat Posted July 31, 2011 #10 Posted July 31, 2011 Can someone take a couple of snapshots of that 1st Gen toolkit so I can make one up for myself? Huh? Anyone? Anyone at all.
Prairiehammer Posted July 31, 2011 #11 Posted July 31, 2011 1990 VR. There is one larger box end wrench missing.
Jayceesfolly Posted July 31, 2011 #12 Posted July 31, 2011 Ray: In the right side bag. There is supposed to be a strap there to strap it down. Jim
Midicat Posted July 31, 2011 #13 Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) Thanks Kevin. What sizes are the sockets and wrenches? Thomas Edited July 31, 2011 by Midicat
Prairiehammer Posted July 31, 2011 #14 Posted July 31, 2011 Thomas: In MY kit (I am not certain what is original) there are five sockets: 19, 17, 14, 12, 10mm. I believe there should be six sockets, but I am uncertain what size the sixth should be. I have a box end wrench in 17 and 14mm. There should be another box end; size unknown. Two combination wrenches: 12, 10mm. Large single end box end wrenches: 27, 22, 19mm. "YamaCo" Deluxe adjustable wrench. I am currently looking for accurate information as to what tools are in the original, unadulterated OEM kit for a Venture Royale.
