Imagine having that quality of translation in your service manual ...  :yow

I wonder if that era moto manuals were better than the press manuals I had to deal with in the late '70s.  :falldown:

 Confucius say man who tape Hondas warning to tank may fear not the festive dog the wandering horse or the skid demon. And the tootling of your melodious horn will bring joy to all you tootle at. :riding:

The tootling of my Bricks melodious 140 Db airhorn brings on heart attacks, causes small children to cry and dogs to bolt at the speed of a thousand startled Gazelles. :hehehe

Reminds me of the Kawasaki factory shop manual for my 1968 F3 Bushwacker.  In the chapter on preparation for competition was this nugget of advice regarding the chain:  "caulk the chain continuously in advance of loss"

I must admit whoever did the translation did an infinitely better job than I would have done.
