      Hi all, first post & great forum. Have a 92 barn find (8 miles since 1996!!!) and decided on a nut&bolt resto. I can't work out the correct colour scheme as bits missing and/or have been replaced. I've found 3 photos of similar but not sure if they are factory setup or have been customised. Any idea or suggestions on the best choice? I'd like to keep it as original as possible.

        Hello & Welcome

        @scrimsmustang If he's still about would know for sure.

        That top one says "Electric" on the fairing, possibly a French model. As I know, some european DTRs came fitted with a electric start. Could be making that up.

        The teal seat looks like the closes match, but again if it's a european model, it may very well be stock.

        Always Originate, Never Pirate!

          Thanks Calum, it was via Google - Scrim's post about his project that got me here, his had a dark grey seat which has added to my curiosity. Well spotted with the "electric" I hadn't seen that. Mine's a UK bike that I found in Spain & that teal seat & gaiter combo would be my choice if it was a factory setup.

            @Phil-k hello and welcome. I had similar problem when I bought mine and I emailed Yamaha, marketing@yamaha-motor.co.uk explained I want to put it back to the original state that it left the factory but couldn't find any history on it and the emailed me back with the original colour, country of first registration (France). Also I was having difficulty matching a wiring diagram and for that they forwarded my email to their tech department. Tech.service@yamaha-motor.co.uk who pointed out that though my bike was registered in 2000 it was manufactured in 1999 which explained a lot and they emailed me a wiring diagram. I found them very helpful just explain your predicament and give your vin number. May take a couple of days to get a response off them.

                @declan Yeah found them but I can't seem to tie them in with the Yamaha colour codes?

                  @markus-w Thanks for that Markus, I've emailed Yamaha so see what they come up with. The body shop reckon they can get the colour right with their scanner so maybe that'll sort it.

                        @NINJA Thanks Ninja, unfortunately that was just an example bike to try and work out the proper colour scheme, mine looks mostly like this at the mobike in bits.jpeg

                          @Phil-k the top one with grey seat is a factory colour as it's identical to the one on the front cover of the old Haynes manual. (tzr125 and dt125r up to 1995).

                                  @NINJA said in 90's DTr purple colour schemes:

                                  humble

                                  The colour is Deep Violet Solid 1, my UK bike had Violet/Purple fork gaiters from new with a light grey seatcover that was nla. Got the closest grey cover I could find from ebay.com came from Thailand.
