Considering how badly my wifes plastic has held up, I can understand why you haven't seen since 2005. My wifes 2005 Yellow KQ plastic faded and discolored very quickly even though we tried to keep it cover and clean.. My Green KQ has held up much better with the exact same treatment... I have seen this before... My buddy' Daughters 400Z Yellow plastic went crap very quicly also.. I think that one was a 2004...

This does not make any sense.... why would yellow be any different than white, green or any other light colored plastic?

I have seen many z400s from 2003 and the yellow plastics look fine, they look just as good as any other color after typical wear. I'm not sure why yours faded and looked like crap so quickly but I can only guess it is something you are doing (or not doing) because it just does not add up.

So would you say that the plastic has flaws? Because it very strange that Suzuki wouldn't address that issue and fix the problem considering that "Yellow" is the Suzuki flag ship color!!! Very strange!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Free,

Structurally it is just fine... The color is what we had problem... Staining and Fading combined... I suspect a UV problem but I have no way to prove it...

For what it is worth the Green has held up just fine to the same abuse... Go Figure...

the yellow on my Z held up great but if you scratched it then it looked bad and it did stain a little, thats why I changed mine and I also think yellow sucks
