Rubber retaining bands. All three? - Decoke Dave - 14-02-18
These three black rubber retaining bands. The one buried up near the rear light in the tail cowling I assume is for the toolkit, its pretty crap as there is hardly any room at all for the tools and bag? :\ [/size] S[/size]hite really!
What are the other two for, the one nearer the battery and the one attached to the underside of the the seat?
Re: Rubber retaining bands. All three? - NorthWestern - 14-02-18
The one on the seat is for a d-lock iirc. The two under the seat are for the toolkits, my old fazer only had one but my new one has two...

I thought there was one as well but my current bike came with two, both yamaha ones, one is larger than the other...

As NorthWestern said
U lock. Bar under seat lock under one strap tools under other. Have a look in owners manual Section 3 page 12.

O.K. So Both the straps that are attached to the bike when the seat is removed, the rearmost one is the for the tools, and the other for a D lock. What is the strap attached to the underside of the seat for? General storage?
Re: Rubber retaining bands. All three? - PieEater - 19-02-18
The strap under the seat is for the D-Lock you can see where the lock will fit within the structure of the seat - one or both under seat compartments are for tooolkit(s), if one is missing a toolkit then it is used for storage. Any reason why this is so important to you or do you suffer from OCD?
Re: Rubber retaining bands. All three? - Dustydes - 20-02-18
The u shackle of the lock fixes to the underside of the seat. The lock part for the U shackle goes under strap nearest front of bike. The strap at back of bike is for a tool kit.

Re: Rubber retaining bands. All three? - PieEater - 20-02-18
Sorry I made a mistake and Dustydes has given the correct advice twice now - the rear compartment is for the toolkit secured with a band, the front compartment is for the optional lock part of the U-Lock secured with a band or if this is not fitted for general storage, the band under the seat is to secure the U-Lock bar. If you want to download a copy of the user manual there is a link in the GEN1 FAQ but here is the relevant page;
