jchaves Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Just got a running 76 that has been repainted but I would like to put it back to it's original graphics. Yamaha sold the 500 with two different colors that year(black and brown) so, how can I find out what is the original color that my bike came from the factory?

jchaves Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yamaha dealers here in the US don't know anything about the old bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedshop Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 go to this site: Look up the tank part number and ir should give you the colour options and codes. You may need to refer to the preface to get the colour codes. If they aren't there let me know as I have a Yamaha code book. (i'll need the exact year of manufacture and colour option) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
