Colorcode on Red 850R - Tuesday 20th July 2010, 05:52

Can someone tell me the exact colorcode on the red 850R.

..and is this a special red for R-versions or is it the same red as an ordinary t5?

as meffs said, it is 609, if you look on the vin plate inside engine bay just to the right of the battery, its about 3 or 4 lines down, and iirc, it will look like this: 609-11. i think the 609 refers to the colour (red) and the 11 is the shade. hth.
