2017 Yamaha XTX tunnel bag options

[Ross Hanlan]

I recently purchased a 2017 XTX and I’m looking for some tunnel storage as the bag that’s stock is tight (belt, pump, tools). I purchased a Whiteout technologies adapta link and will use a gas caddy for some spare fuel. I don’t need storage for a multi day trip as I don’t mind wearing a backpack. Really need something big enough for belt, tools, gloves, hat, water and what ever staples are needed . Thanks in advance guys. I’m sure this is a common question.

I have a few of the larger bags that came on ltx models. If you get me a phone number i can send pictures. Some from viper and one from a 17 sidewinder. They tuck in under rear of seat.

Awesome bag that may be the route I have to go.

I did buy a bag but don’t thing it will work with the XTX as there isn’t anywhere to attach the forward straps. Unless I’m wrong.

Hi, welcome to the site. I also purchased a 2017 XTX and found I wanted more storage than the original tool bag afforded. I carefully drilled out the rivets to remove it, installed new rivets and added this bag in its place. SMA-8JR63-00-00 I was able to fit the original tool bag along with a shovel, snobunje, and more. The semi rigid looks really nice also as cannondale27 mentioned. Here is a link to that bag from Yamaha with the three sizes available. https://www.shopyamaha.com/product/details/medium-tunnel-gear-bag?b=Search&ls=yamaha-motor-company Below are pics of the one I installed. It all comes down to preference. Good luck.

All you need is the plastic nubs to rivet onto the tunnel. They are less than $2 from yamaha. Part number: 8JP-F8423-00-00. 4 required.

I'm surprised yamaha doesn't send them with the bag when selling as an accessory. You will need long rivets. Yamaha number if needed is: 8JP-RA516-00-00

I too just bought a 2017 XTX this year, and I just picked up a PowderKeg 700 Combo at the Syracuse Big East Powersports show over the weekend... Show special price and no shipping, so I had to pull the trigger. Here it is sitting on the tunnel, not installed yet. Lots of room and the option of carrying extra fuel if you want.

Try that... I changed permissions, sorry!

Man o man I fell like I’m really stuck (probably just my OCD). The 141 isn’t as long as I thought it was going to be. I’m stuck between storage and fuel. When I had my Nytro I was always strapped for fuel so I really want to run a fuel caddy but also want the storage option for a Canada trip. Is anyone been running both? is there a significant difference between keeping the fuel right up to the seat opposed to the end of the tunnel. Any pics out there.

Looks very nice. A dry bag, too big for an RT-X.

Hey Ross, look again at my picture above... The PowderKeg is exactly that. The top portion is dry storage, the bottom portion is a 3.25 gallon fuel tank. Check it out in detail: https://powderkegllc.com/shop/yamaha-products/y-700-cm-low-profile-combo-pak/ Fits perfect on a 141.
