What is an FZS1000 gen1??

[nick crisp]

All FZS1000 gen 1s are model code 5LV, if you're not sure. This is usually found on a little white label on the frame, under the seat, eg, 5LV 020 C. The number denotes year, the letter refers to colour. As well as using the chassis no., any Yam dealer can look up which bike it is with this. Also, they can look on the parts catalogue, which will show what decals etc it should have.
