Title: Struggling to find my olive coloured crank casing anywhere please help!
Post by: colfazthou on 27 February 2018, 09:59:32 pm

Hi all,

finally bought another fazer (FZ1) and managed to bodge the rad shroud, belly pan & olive coloured engine casing left side (not sure of the name) . . all before I sat on the thing for the first time

Got a shroud and repaired the belly pan and now stuck as fowlers and my local dealer cant find this engine casing in the greeny olive colour on my 2009 model. I assumed the casings and wheels must have been painted but am now aware that a lot of 2009s had this coloured bits/wheels

can anyone suggest where i might find one? part number i believe is: 5VY-15411- the 00 denoting the black ones and so i assume a different number denotes my colour?

any help greatly received

Colin

I've looked at online spares departments in the USA and Europe, without much luck:

Unless you have the specific part number for the colour you seek, you might have to scour a few breakers' yards in the hope of finding an undamaged one there.

Good luck. :)

Buy whatever colour engine case you can get, get yourself down to a large Halfords (There are other motor factors) and spend a while finding the nearest match rattle paint can to it .
Or alternately look on eGay and find a can, If its not an exact match spend an hour de-greasing and rubbing down the other side engine case and spray that one the same. :thumbup

Or just buy a black one for the other side? I'm assuming its just the covers that are Olive and not the whole engine?

Take an already painted part to a paint supplier like RS they can colour match it for you and put paint in a rattle can.
Its a bit costly but will match.
