oil leak but not gear box!

[Boffer]

Another bank holiday weekend approaches and another problem appears.

Can anybody advise on leaking oil level sight glasses. Notice a stain under the bike today & on closer investigation discover that oil is leaking from around the oil level sight glass. Searched forum but must have missed any threads. P****d off as bike only just back from have fuel pump relay replaced.

Has a new part been issued? Is this common? Do I buy Honda? OK the last one is because I am p****d off!

Off to Europe again shortly & quickly losing faith. Please help!!

Check out the 11xx forum, lots of threads about sight glass replacement. Doubt it's much different from the 1200

How old is the bike?
Is under warranty?
Have you been on to your dealer?

Still under warranty, 57 plate. Dealer fixing it tomorrow morning.

Starting to wonder what will be next!

Thanks for the thread link

Given up with 57 plate, dealer offered no brainer deal on new bike so an 09 it is. Fingers crossed if not it will be a Japanesed built Honda!

2nd hand prices are rising due to oversea demand generated by the exchange rates (parallel exports!)
