Hi, just purchased a 08 Fashion 250 and the red oil light stays on all the time, I checked the level and its on the upper markings, the previous owner told me something about I need to disconnect the battery to reset the light after an oil change?? he sold me the scoot with 994 miles and told me he just had the oil change done a few months ago but did not ride the scoot too much.... I rode over 10 miles with no issues.... I'm hoping its not a oil pump failure!!!!!

Hi--welcome to the forum---I am a member with a 250 B Roketa and I think it is possible you may have a defective sending unit or a loose ground wire--do a little inspection and you might find a loose wire --anyhow,we got some real good wrenchers and they will have some good ideas as soon as they find your post,good luck,fflintstone

Welcome to the forum, alf.  I believe that it is a maintenance reminder light to let you know when to change the oil. Try pulling the main fuse for about 30 seconds or disconnecting the battery to see if it resets. |

Here's an instruction I found on the old SD forum.
To reset the oil light when it reaches 1000/3000 miles you need to turn on ignition key, and at the same time hold down
Hour-Minute-Trip buttons for 10 seconds. This will make the light go out.
Let us know if this works.
