Don’t know if this thread from a few years back will help?


I don’t think the red changed until the last red/black models in 2005?

Do you have a picture of it? Fazer only came in red on 2001 and 2005 models. It may have been a 2001 model registered in 2003. Is there a lights switch  on the right right handlebar between the kill switch and starter button?

Vivid Red Cocktail 7 is the Yamaha Code, the 7 at the end is the shade as there are a few Vivid Red Cocktails. The 080 is a country product code and can change depending on the country it was manufactured for.

Lava red is the 2005 colour, quite a bit darker than the earlier red that you're after.
