If you're anything like me, you will ding your first bike on multiple occasions. The good news is (some) bodywork is easy with basic tools, but picking the right parts online can be a headache. This guide is here to help.
Color Coding
Parts for the MT-03 2020 Yamaha come in "Black Metallic 12" or "Mat Light Gray Metalic 4". Note the color code associated to parts numbers:
- Black parts: Color Code 1723
- Gray parts: Color Code 1700
