x 238 painted on my engine?
« on: April 25, 2012, 01:10:49 PM »
I saw this first time today when I was washing my bike It doesnt appear to be stamped. Its between #3 and 4 left of the oil filter. Anyone know what it is? Honda recall?

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

I was doing my first oil change the other day and was wondering the same thing.  My K6 has a similar stamp.

I hope this gets answered.  I like trying to figure out what intentional marks without immediate explanation might mean.

'76 XL350 - just picked it up, will be my forest road/camping machine
'77 CB550F - going to get it top-notch, like ride across the country top-notch, like it is 1980 and it has 12k miles with a loving, original owner
'82 CB900F - my (sometimes) daily rider

'74 RD350 - 6k miles, straight out of a barn, waiting for restoration

These old bikes are teaching me a big boat load!  I love 'em!
