Oil Pressure Warning Light; Checking The Ignition Timing - VESPA GTV 125 Service Station Manual

Maintenance
Check
This operation must be carried out with the engine cold and following the procedure below:
1. Place the vehicle on its centre stand and on flat ground.
2. Undo cap/dipstick "A", dry it off with a clean cloth and replace it, screwing down completely.
3. Remove the cap/dipstick again and check that the level is between the min and max. marks; top
up if necessary.

Oil top up
The oil should be topped up after having checked
the level and in any case by adding oil without
ever exceeding the MAX. level.
The restoration level between the MIN and MAX
levels implies a quantity of oil of approx. 400 cc.
