Just picked up a 08 fz1

Sounds like you may have the '09 black/granite gray. Is it gray front to back or does it have a black fairing and airbox cover? I thought the '08's had gold forks with gray or red paint. (not trying to be a jerk, really) I've just always thought of the black forks and greenish gold wheels as a 2009 thing (either blue or black/gray paint).


It has a black fender, forks, fairing and airbox cover, the tank and tail are granite gray. Also had someone point out the reflectors on the calipers/forks are not 'right' too.

The VIN tag shows production was 7/08. I don't know when Yam changes factory over for model year changes, but maybe there's some transition between years?? Here's pic of mine right after I took it off truck bringing it home -
