oil light

Post by showbiz »

hi, i have a 2016 forza 300. over the last few days the red oil light has started to flash whenever I am breaking, mostly with the front break.
I have checked the oil levels and they seem fine.
has anyone else had this problem, and how was it resolved.
thanks for your help.

Are you checking the oil on the centerstand?

You do not thread the dipstick in to check the oil.

Has this problem been resolved yet ? It seems like forward stopping inertia triggers the light. Check for loose wiring connector , dirty oil, or defective switch.

I find my dipstick hard to read especially if it below the stick reading. Put some more in to get it to half stick at least. If you get too much in, suck it out or tip the scooter over (It is really heavy)

If still in doubt have a real mechanic do an oil change.

Real mechanics are really, really hard to find.
