Frequently Asked Questions
Can this OEM emblem be clear-coated after application?
Yes, genuine Yamaha decals can be clear-coated for extra protection. It is recommended to apply several thin mist coats first to prevent solvent attack on the vinyl. Please note that once clear-coated, the emblem becomes a permanent part of the fairing's finish and cannot be easily removed.
What happens if this part becomes discontinued?
Motorcycle manufacturers regularly discontinue part numbers for older models, making OEM decals for bikes older than a few years increasingly difficult to source. If you see this specific part number available, it is highly recommended to secure it while factory stock remains available to avoid future availability issues.
Ensure the fairing surface is thoroughly decontaminated with isopropyl alcohol before application to achieve the strongest possible adhesive bond and a bubble-free finish.
