If the Low Oil Pressure Indicator Lights
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Continuing to ride with low oil pressure
can cause serious engine damage.
If you check your engine oil level
regularly, you should never see the low oil
pressure indicator while riding. Normally,
it will only light momentarily when you
turn the ignition switch ON. Occasionally,
it may flicker at or near idling speed.
Low oil pressure may be caused by an oil
leak, a low oil level, or some problem in
the engine’s lubrication system.
Check for an oil leak.
If the indicator comes on while you’re
riding, don’t ignore it. Pull safely to the
side of the road. Stop the engine as soon
as it’s safe to do so.
Then check the oil level. If necessary,
add the recommended oil (page
) to
the upper level mark. If you must leave
your scooter to get oil, secure it as much
as possible.
After adding oil, start the engine, and
check that the low oil pressure indicator
goes off. Check for a possible leak.
If the indicator goes off and there is no
leak –– resume riding. If there is a leak
–– do not ride the scooter until the leak
is repaired by a Honda dealer.
