Honda NSS300 Forza - Owner's Manual > Warning Indicators On

Low Oil Pressure Indicator

If the low oil pressure indicator comes on, pull safely to the side of the road and stop the engine.

NOTICE Continuing to ride with low oil pressure can cause serious damage to the engine.

1. Check the engine oil level, and add oil as necessary.

2. Start the engine.

• Only continue riding if the low oil pressure indicator goes off.

Rapid acceleration may momentarily cause the low oil pressure indicator to come on, especially if the oil is at or near the low level.

If the low oil pressure indicator stays on when the oil level is at the proper level, stop the engine and contact your dealer.

If the engine oil level goes down rapidly, your scooter may have a leak or another serious problem. Have your scooter inspected by your dealer.

PGM-FI (Programmed Fuel Injection) Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)

If the indicator comes on while riding, you may have a serious problem with the PGM-FI system. Reduce speed and have your scooter inspected by your dealer as soon as possible.

ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) Indicator (NSS300A only)

If the indicator operates in one of the following ways, you may have a serious problem with the brake system. Reduce your speed and have your scooter inspected by your dealer as soon as possible.

• Indicator comes on or starts flashing while riding
• Indicator does not come on when the ignition switch is in the ON position
• Indicator does not go off at speeds above 10 km/h (6 mph)

If the ABS indicator stays on, your brakes will continue to work as a conventional system, but without the anti-locking function.

The ABS indicator may come on if you turn the rear wheel while your scooter is lifted off the ground. In this case, turn the ignition switch off and then on again. The ABS indicator will go off after your speed reaches 30 km/h (19 mph).

The indicator comes on when the riding distance reaches the programmed oil change intervals, at the initial 1,000 km (625 mile) and every 12,000 km (7,500 mile) after resetting the indicator, to indicate the time for the engine oil to be changed.

Change the engine oil and reset the indicator after each oil change.

The indicator does not go off until it is reset.

Tyre Puncture

Repairing a puncture or removing a wheel requires special tools and technical expertise.

We recommend you have this type of service performed by your dealer.

After an emergency repair, always have the tyre inspected/replaced by your dealer.

Emergency Repair Using a Tyre Repair Kit

If your tyre has a minor puncture, you can make an emergency repair using a tubeless tyre repair kit.

Follow the instructions provided with the emergency tyre repair kit.

Riding your scooter with a temporary tyre repair is very risky. Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph). Have the tyre replaced by your dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING

Riding your scooter with a temporary tyre repair can be risky. If the temporary repair fails, you can crash and be seriously injured or killed.

If you must ride with a temporary tyre repair, ride slowly and carefully and do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) until the tyre is replaced.
