Oil leak! Help me!

[cbdtran_imp]

I would take it back to the dealer. It is under warranty correct?

in order for you to get proper help, tell us:

1) Where and when did you buy the CB1100?

Hmmm oil seepage in weird places..not at head gasket, not at base gasket. Looks like some at the valve cover gasket, but rest of seepage looks like it's coming out of pkaces where there are no natural gaps, unless the wind is messing with it. Were the valve clearances checked recently?

I do agree, warranty. Return to dealer.

Are you sure one of your friends isn't messing with you?

This motorcycle has just been activated using! I was the only one that uses the cb1100!
I informed the dealer in Vietnam! They told me to fix that damage!

....

I purchased the moto vehicle from the United States.
In Vietnam we often use unit km / h.

Thank you for the compliment!
You intend to Vietnam in February 2014, right? You come to Vietnam to travel or work?
Prior to Hanoi, please send PM to me for planning meetings.
Very pleased to welcome you in Vietnam.

@all: Because language skills are limited to a few questions I do not understand the problem clearly first!
But I will try to look up and follow all of the your instructions!
THANKS ALL!

I am Vietnamese American and have trouble understanding your posting except your bike has oil leak. You bought the bike NEW in Hanoi from an authorize Honda dealer? Then, you should have one year warranty or even one year international warranty. You need to read your Honda booklet come with the bike when you bought it. Normally, your Honda dealer must fix everything if your bike have some defect in first year. Honda itself pays your dealer to fix the problem ... that is, how it works in USA or Europe. The dealer will test ride the bike prior to deliver it to buyer.

You can also write to Honda headquarter in VN, or call Honda Japan headquarter to complain your problem with your regional Honda dealer where you bought the bike from and give them the copy of your "bill of sale" ( the chu quey ) as a proof.

Culturally, in VN, they can give you problem of follow up with responsibility such as your case.

Come to worse, you can always have independent mechanics to fix your bike if all options are exhausted with your Honda dealer, these mechanics are astounding they can fix anything

I assume your bike cost you $20000 US dollars in VN, with average income of less than $5000 a year, it is like someone in USA buy a $200,000 dollars motorcycle!
I am shocked to see big bike in VN ... Honda VN shows only bike of 125cc or less, someone says in Saigon, it is illegal to ride bike larger than 125cc. Seeing is believing.

I like to ride my bike in VN, Thailand and Laos some days.

Since this is a new bike, and i have read some post of these bikes coming overfilled from the factory/dealer.....could this be the issue?

YES. Drain all the engine oil, put back one gallon of oil (3.78 liters) to see if the oil still leak.
