Hello everybody,
After overfilling with gas, the engine light on my GTS 300 stays on. Any idea how to turn it off?

Some lights do go out if the battery is disconnected for a minute or so. Others stay on and have to be switched off by physically plugging in a code reader.

Some codes will clear themselves after several healthy starts of the bike. Since you believe it's caused by overfill then I'd suspect that this code is probably one of that type.

This happened to me a while back. Someone told me it was prob the evap system and to leave gas cap off after the scooter is in for the night. That worked for me.

Thank you for your answers.
I had already tried disconnecting the battery, it didn't change anything. So I'm going to leave the fuel cap open overnight. And then be patient: my GTS works very well |

I always thought the EVAP system was only on the American spec vehicles as well.
It's not a requirement for the UK Vespas. I'm not sure about the GTS, but on the Primavera / Sprint it's easy to see as the underseat bucket has a large lump which makes it difficult to store a helmet. |

I think I should go to the dealership to have them plug in a code reader... |

EVAP is necessary to archive Euro 5, so all Euro5 bikes include a EVAP System.
SteelBytes: Correct, change to Euro 5 was late 2020. |

Maybe I was wrong and my 2017 GTS does not have an escape system... I must have confused it with the air bleeder pipe...
In fact, I have refueled several times since this light came on. |

It takes up part of the under seat compartment. If the compartment is empty you do not have an EVAP system. |
