take a panel to your local paint supplier and they should be able to hook you up.

^ well one would think, but no. I done that (about 3 years ago) but the paint was not anywhere close.

suposedly now Dupont has oem colors for motorcycles in its paint code system.
a friend of mine bought some dupont chroma base and I sprayed it for him and it is so close I can't see the difference. he said its called Yamaha Blue.

I painted the upper, lower, and tail. the tank is stock. I'd say the color is pretty accurate.
