People GT 300i / Re: Weird oil pressure light turns on
« on: November 14, 2023, 07:41:38 PM »
Hi everybody
My Kymco GT300i , year 2011 with 11000 miles.
Since i bought this Kymco in may 2021 ( 8000 miles) , the oil pressure light has been coming on unexpectedly. Generally, after a cold start and after driving for a few hundred meters (but sometimes with the engine hot and the engine idling). I stop the engine. I need to start and stop the engine 3 or 4 times before the oil pressure light goes out. After that, no problem for hundreds of miles (or less). As if the oil pressure relief valve remained stuck for a moment.
Work done: need to dismantle the entire right side of the GT300i. I bought a new relief valve (ref: 15200-KED9-900); disassembly of the right engine crankcase; assembly of the new valve after checking that it slides correctly; right crankcase reassembly. Road tests and driving (1000 miles) since. No problem. No unexpected lighting of the oil pressure warning light.
Warning: First of all, if the oil pressure warning light comes on, you must stop the engine immediately and carry out the following checks: Check the oil level, the quality of the oil, the oil filter, the noise of the engine (abnormal or not). Ask for advice
