Hi all,

First post so be gentle.
I have a Honda sh125 and have done the last service myself.
The oil change led needs to be turned off but I can't see a way to do it.
Anyone know how?
Thanks for any help.

You sure its a oil change led and not a low oil pressure light ?

I've tried fairly hard to find a manual for this bike and failed.

I'll just say that I have never seen a motorcycle with an oil change LED. Technology may have changed because your bike is newer than any I've worked on but oil lights on motorbikes are usually a warning light to tell you you have either low oil level or low oil pressure.

They usually come on with the ignition to show the light itself is working then go off when you start the engine to show there is sufficient oil/oil pressure.

An oil warning light staying on with the engine running is telling you the oil level or pressure is dangerously low, you should immediately stop the engine and don't run it again until you've rectified the problem.

I hope I'm wrong and it's just a service light but please be sure. Thumbs Up

Hi,

No I'm 100% sure that its an oil change light.
It comes on every 2,500 miles and is reset by the dealer after a service.
Definately not a low pressure light.

Its on page 19 of the owners manual.

1. Set the ignition key to off.

2. Press the clock button and keep it pressed while turning the ignition switch to on.

3. Keep it pressed untill the oil change light goes out (about 2 seconds)

Hi Deltic,

Thank you very much for the information......spot on
and worked 1st time.
Still trying to figure out how it knows when 2,500 miles have elapsed as speedo is analogue
ie does it come at 2,500 5,000 7,500 etc or 2,500 miles after you reset.
I suspect the latter as my first service was late (2,850) and oil change light came on at 5,350ish.
BTW, read the manual twice and never noticed this.
Will re-check page 19.

Cheers,
Steve
