 there is only reset for the oil , I change my oil more often so I reset when the light goes on, about every second oil change,  and I change more often if it is below freezing,  going to find out how the powerpure tires are in the cold, it is 3 below C this morning

  riding in the country yesterday , the power pure tires feel the same as the pirelli,s  I don't ride that fast so I cant tell the difference in the curves,  when your in the curves it is in the soft part of the tire,. so the difference would be in the higher milage you get with power pure tires, I hope!  the next tires I might go for is city grips,  they may make my size by then,.

How do I reset the oil light De Dee?!
The Kymco DT 300i ABS is the best scooter you can get. I love it's carefree automatic ride. I would like to see kymco make a 600cc version but no heavier then the 300. I would buy it for sure

And after resetting the oil light De Dee, does it come back in again when getting low? Thanks

  On your read out you have A, B, service,. and oddameter,. go to service and press both buttons and hold till it changes,. same as when you reset the mileage  ,. on A,   wish I was down south for the winter,  first snow was 12 inches,

Service mileage looks just like an odometer reading, except it does not say ODO nor A nor B.

  re setting the oil light is only for oil changes, low oil would probably be check engine light ,  I check tires and oil level every 600 miles,  change in temp. below freezing check your oil and tires often,.

8eeman, I do not think there is any low oil warning light. The oil light that does show is miles interval only. My Yager and this DT comes on at 625 miles. I use this "oil odometer" for registering gas intervals and the two trip odometers for trip navigation. That way I don't ever have to look at that oil light!
