Reset oil service light
« on: August 29, 2017, 05:14:57 PM »
I have a 2015 Agility 16+ 125 Scooter and the  'oil service' light is flashing on the dashboard.  Does anyone know how to reset it? I have looked in other threads but I did not find the answer for this model!

This type of info is usually in the owner's manual. I downloaded every owner'manual for all Agility 125s and one variant and none have an oil service light. There is no freebee download for the 16+. A bike purchased new should have an owner's manual. See your dealer for one. However, the Downtown 300i has this kind of light as do other models and it is activated by the odometer, specifically, one of the odometers. Can you select the main odometer and a trip odometer? If you can, I expect there is an odometer that has no tag or name like "ODO" or "TRIP" it will just show a number. Like the DT300i it should reset by pushing both Mode and Adjust buttons at the same time and holding until the number sets to "0.0" and this will make the light go dark. It will come back on in about 600 miles. I use mine for a gasoline odometer just so that darn light stays out! After the initial oil changes the interval on the DT is 3000 miles so the 600 mile light is nonsense anyway. It IS REAL NEAT to have 4 odometers!

Dear Karl thanks for the answer.

I do have the owner's manual and I looked everywhere in it, but I could not find the answer to this.

To help you further, I am adding a picture of how the odometer looks like. In that picture, the oil indicator is flashing!

First question- do you have enough oil in you engine? Is it between max and min on the dip stick?

If the oil level is ok try holding the right side button for 5 seconds or more.

Jeeves beat me to that question! Next, what DOES your owner's manual say about INSTRUMENTS? It is entirely possible your owner's manual has left out this information. Jeeves says to hold the right button for about 5 seconds. This will probably shift from ODO to a trip odometer. Do it again if it does and you will probably get the oil service odometer. These manufacturers are pretty predictable! Hold both buttons and it will reset the oil symbol. Hurry, go do it NOW, I wanna see this! Good picture by the way! If you can figure out how to get pictures on THIS forum, you can fix this problem with your scoot!

Dear friends,

It worked. The oil level was not the issue. The oil service reminder had to be reset.

Basically, holding the right button down for 5 seconds shifts from the odometer, then to the trip meter and then to the oil service meter. Once you are in the oil service meter, holding the left button for 5 seconds it does the job. And the same applies for the trip meter!!!

Thanks again!!!

It is entirely possible your owner's manual has left out this information.

No Kymco manual has this information.  It is a "for dealers only".  It's to encourage Kymco owners to take their machines to the dealer for servicing.  Most Kymcos have different ways to reset the light; there is no standard reset method. My Kymco Sento has a little slot under the speedometer.  The light is reset by pushing a key or a screwdriver into the little slot.  But your Kymco could be totally different.  A helpful dealer will show you the secret.

Now, THAT is interesting! With all the mistakes and errors in both the owner's and service manuals, coupled with dealer's ignorance of their product line, being nearly FORCED to go to the dealer borders on adsurd. The only source of straight information seems to be here on this forum. Kymco USA should be calling here! Thanks for bumping this thread with your insight!
