First Crash - Macca4786 - 12-04-15
Evening all
Had my first spill over the bank hols. Broken finger was all I got fortunately.
However the pride and joy is not looking great. Exhaust snapped off and my front fairing is slightly U/S.
Anyone got a front fairing kicking about or know of any breakers with them ?
Also did they do the 1998 Fazer in 2 reds. I don't know if it's just be but my bike looks a darker red than some I have seen??
Thanks in advance for any help

Not good news macca, but mick is selling/giving some stuff away in the for sale/wanted section, and I think someone else was selling a fairing in primer, have a look in there and even the older posts and just message the guys.
Go here mate

As far as I know there was not a 98 red made --- fullstop, only black, unless you have a 99 then im not sure

Macca, I think the colour code is under the seat on a panel, think if your's is darker than mine it'll be vrc7 maybe?
Re: First Crash - limax2 - 12-04-15
The 1998 model was available in red, black and I think gold. Model number 5DM1.
The 1999 model was a darker red, model number 5DM4, but could have been registered late 1998 I guess.
Hope you manage to fix it without too much hassle.
Re: First Crash - Macca4786 - 12-04-15
That's sounds about right bud ! Just going under the seat now to have a look
Re: First Crash - Dead Eye - 12-04-15
I always preferred the darker red ^.^
I had one until it's demise... might turn the blue / black one to red as ultimately I plan to re-spray it
Re: First Crash - fazersharp - 12-04-15
Looks like I was wrong
Re: First Crash - Macca4786 - 12-04-15
Yeah under the seat it says 5DM4 070 so it's the 1999 red on an 1998 bike !
Can't imagine I shall be that lucky to get the right colour so will now look at spray painters in my area

You can get the 'fazer' stickers on the side too, think oldmotherfoccer is the one to ask.

There were 3 colours in the 98 Fazer, Red, black and yellow and they added silver as a fourth colour in 99
The 98 model red was Yamaha code VRC1, but the 99 red model was a slightly different colour and was coded VRC7

Re: First Crash - sinto607276 - 12-04-15
And went back to VRC1(Vivid Red Cocktail) for 2000, 2001 & 2003 models.
They used RYC1 in 2002, meaning Redish Yellow Cocktail

What letter is on the frame code?
is it A, B, C or D
If it is a 98 then Red was A and if it is a 99 Red was C.
New model usually come out in late the previous year, what month was yours first register?
Re: First Crash - sinto607276 - 12-04-15
Think you'll need to find the actual colour code if your wanting an actual match, is there nothing on plate like 'VRC7' or 'RYC1'?
