What do these numbers mean?

I'm stuck on this one...on the top of the gearbox on my Firestorm, someone has written numbers and symbols. Bizzare!
Take a look - they are written on the top of the gearbox just obove the front sprocket (back of rear cylinder).
Any ideas guys?

assembly markings most likely. It's likely your car has the same thing all over it but you just don't see it. On cars they will use different colored dots during assembly as a way to mark that a task is complete.

So after the BS comment, I had to go check. I knew mine had something there and I really need a good excuse to buy a new bike, but mine is not a bs motor. LJ 120 for mine.
