The engine colours changed during 2000-1 about when the pearlescent yellow was changed for the slightly more 'custard' yellow. Have seen a few 'Y' reg bikes in the these colours. My '99 SY was one of the recalled bikes, was told the oil pump bit was changed back to the previous type after a race engine had blown in the U.S.A.
