Mysterious writing under oil filter housing
« on: August 14, 2020, 08:08:04 AM »
I found this writing on the casing when I did the oil and filter change.
Does anyone know it’s significance?
I’m puzzled as to why it’s there. 🤭

I seem to remember that my 350/4 had something similar to this, although none of my other bikes have it!

Maybe the team members at Honda who worked on it??!!
Perhaps too romantic an idea!!

I think if it was put there by someone at the factory it would be in Japanese writing. It may have been put there by Honda USA when it arrived there denoting what dealership it was going to or something like that.
