Hi Simon,
You are correct. I have been doing some research over the last days and attached my findings. It looks like the XJ above might not be original. The XJ900N was only sold in Germany in 1985. In black/maroon as per picture below. Got the codes for that combo (NYB). I am now using a paint shop to identify actual colors associated with the codes. That appears to be the only way to get info from Yamaha.
Included:
Yamaha XJ900N catalog picture
XJ 900 model identifiers
XJ paint codes by model.pdf
All,
I am converting a 1986 XJ900F to a XJ900N. While I managed to find all parts for the conversion I have hit a wall with regards to color. I want to use one of the original color schemes as can be seen in the photo. I would appreciate any help or pointers to identify the color codes for the red/orange and silver used on the XJ.
Thank you in advance.
Best, Torsten
