Problems of Language in the Decals
« 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.

It is from UK Dealer  :( :(. Is possible that Japanes were wrong and the Dealer only copy the Decal in its original text??

Hi Piki would the decal be for a rear shocker on a Suzuki GT750 Kettle ? , I've just looked at my photos of my Kettle and its exactly the same wording and spelling  ;) cheers Mick.

Piki - to be clear, the correct spelling of the word is LUBRICATE.

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