Title: Problems of Language in the Decals
Post by: Piki on July 06, 2015, 11:04:53 PM: Hello, I have a dude with the language use on the Decals, recently I bought from a very famous and reputation trader some Decals, the text of one of them say:

Be sure to wash and LUBURICATE
drive chain and adjust its slack
every.......

LUBURICATION is indispensible
especially.........

LUBURICATE and LUBURICATION is correct in English????

Thank you in advance.

Mick - are those decals the original (i.e. did the Japanese cock-up the spelling from the factory?)
