Has any one had this problem? i just bought a 2018 honda pcx.
I was having some power problems (200 miles on it) at 38 mph.

If that was mine, I'd already be at the dealership.

Re: lots of oil in the air filter
i do not know the dealer put the oil in. I never checked it. On the phone he thought i may have a very serious problem ,but he is not sure until he looks at it .

Re: lots of oil in the air filter
Mine usually has a small smear on the bottom of the air filter box never enough for it to actually flow in a dribble though! It's always done it

Re: lots of oil in the air filter
The dealer is supposed to check all the basics as part of the inspection - brakes, steering, lights, suspension and oil and other fluid levels. The bikes are usually suppled semi-assembled with just the odd wheel and other bit to fit at the dealship (or that's how it seems to be in one UK dealer I passed by) - or are they now %100 assembled on delivery to the dealer?
As Tom192 mentioned, and having recently looked at the air-filter for the 1st time in 4 years of use, I had a very, very small patch of oil along a few inches of the rim of the filter housing (internal) which may be from the couple of occaions I have put in a little too much, but only just above the full mark.
