Painted Numbers Under Engine:
I have noted 4 numbers in paint on the underside of the engine on a 99 curvy. Does anybody know what they are for? It is the original engine.

Re: Painted Numbers Under Engine:
No do not think so. Just a 4 numbered sequence, checked 2 bikes and they both have them?

Re: Painted Numbers Under Engine:
I also have numbers in white paint on the underside of my 99 curvy engine, no idea why there there though?

Re: Painted Numbers Under Engine:
Doubt it. Bike was 1 owner and only done 2500 miles.

Re: Painted Numbers Under Engine:
Mine has some white numbers written on the underside of the motor too. Can't remember what it said but I just assumed it was when it had a main service or something. Not sure..

Re: Painted Numbers Under Engine:
It's usually a batch ident or similar for production, nothing significant.
