Post by: Gaz1978 on 21 April 2022, 07:49:13 pm

Hi there, I have a 2003 fazer 1000 in metallic red and there is no stickers or info anywhere for the paint code. Does anyone have it please?

Many thanks Gareth

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.
