Got the exact same scooter, identic color. honestly I've checked my oil this morning because I found my oil pressure light to take a bit too long to disappear when starting up, and I thought Man, what fool of an engineer decided it was a good idea to put the dipstick there? hats off if you can check your oil without burning your hands on the exhaust and if you can get the dipstick back in at the first try. Only italians can do this kind of thing.
I wonder if the first dot rule on the gear oil level is also true on a 2009 250 GTS Super? I just checked mine and it's filled to the top dot. Should I be concerned?
Quick question - i see conflicting info on the correct hub oil level of the GTS300 HPE. The owners manual with the bike states the first line on the dipstick (first line above the dot), and the HPE Workshop manual actually states the second line on the dipstick is the max level? Any idea which is right?
LOL What an inconvenient design for that dip stick/oil filler! Piaggio, what were you thinking? Won't be long before we're all using E powered Vespas and shaking our head at all the constant maintenance and upkeep we spent on internal combustion engines.
I caught some idiot filling the dipstick well with sugar while I was parked outside a local shop, which caused a lot of damage. Is there a way to prevent this in the future?
