Who's been scribbling on my bike.....?
« on: June 14, 2010, 13:18:43 »
Bought a Wee just over a month ago.  When looking it over I noticed that some of the bolts have little white spots painted on them.  Also all the panels have red scribbling on them - code numbers I guess....

Anyone have an idea what's gone on?  I recall somewhere that white dots are sometimes painted on service bits so that Trading Standards can check if a service has really been done - they check if the dots are in the same place or something....

NB it is Alphadotted - though I added some more and my dots aren't white but clear - so unlikely to be that....

Any ideas?

I work in a main dealers, all our technicians have their own colour paint pens and have to colour every bolt they touch on servicing and PDI's.
