Had a nice ride tonight... a cool, crisp, Pennsylvania autumn evening. RT(reverse trike) was runnin' good, stopped in to see my Dad, watched a little football... then the oil light came on on the way home.  I couldn't hear any engine noise but I wasn't gonna take a chance so I pulled over and checked the oil. Full and clean. Started engine--no engine noise, not overheating, no apparent self-destruction. Continued my ride home and made it without issue. So anyone come across a faulty oil pressure sensor? Anyone know where the thing is on a Sunny Roadrunner 300? Oh I'm sure I'll find it but if someone knows would save some time. I guess it's probably a good thing that winter's comin'... I'm gonna need the time to get the new bugs out! ;D |

Try pressing the button under "oil change" on the right side of the ash console. I had the same scare but found out it was just a reminder of a oil change after so many miles.

You are the MAN Justin! Hit oil change button and light is out. Can't believe joker's(I mean owner's) manual doesn't say anything about this. You sure saved me quite a bit of troubleshooting. I had already seen the Yamaha Morphus digital dash that this is cloned from and on that model the oil change reminder light is actually the tilt lock light on ours. So I just figured the oil change reminder was not used. So now I'm wondering... do these things even have an oil pressure switch and if so is it tied into the same warning light? Guess I'll have to go snoopin' around anyway!  ;D |

I had to call my dealer to find out it was most likely on because of a reminder to change my oil. He told me the light also warns of low oil pressure as well. Every oil change I press the button to reset the timer now.

Good info Justin, thanks again. You might wanna check your pic thread... I'm sure claritysailing is anxious to hear your/our opinions on this beast.
