Recommended Posts

Red is for next year. Saw it on yamaha Europe website. I like my midnight black with blurple wheels.

I do like the more red look. Mine's the 2015 Candy Apple Red model. I would have preferred the Yamaha Blue but for $7.000 and only 2348 miles on it, I couldn't refuse it. What it looked like when I bought it;

 I have to say, I personally HATE the new colors.   
The dull gray with a bright red side shroud looks like a terrible mis-match.  I agree with @David that the bag lids need to be black.

You can add a candy red fender now. Get it from a 2017 FZ-09. Bike bandit has them for $116. I have come close to getting one myself.

That looks really good.  Is this the same Lava Red as the '15 FJ model? 
 
A little more red on the front of the bike adds a bit more balance.  If its the same color red, I might give it a try on my bike.

I have not seen them side-by-side, but Yamaha calls both of them "Candy Red" on their respective web pages. See the specifications section on 2017 FZ-09 and 2015 FJ-09. I would expect that they would use different names if they were different shades of red, but I don't know that to be true.

Yamaha uses the same name for the same color.  Candy red on any bike, weather a cruiser or sport bike is the same color.  Look up the number and they will be the same.

Where did you find the 2015 Red as "Lava Red".  I have always thought it to be "Candy Red" same as the 2014 FJR's.  Watch this: 
Yamaha Color Chart

Now that looks interesting. Let's find out if it fits, looks like it would. And if it's the same "Candy Red".

Honestly, Lava Red is the only color I have ever heard it called. 
 
Maybe its just what Aftermarket Paint Color is called.  To make it even more confusing, Color Rite lists it as Deep Red Metallic for both FJ and FJR.
