Maybe it's a dry sump engine? Oil stored in separate tank, not in the sump. Common motor cycle engine practice.

But not that common on Japanese bikes, particularly a 125.

Definitely used on quite a number of Suzuki 2-strokes.

Which isn't really 'dry sump', just a seperate oil reservoir for the

2T oil as opposed to pre-mix.

There is a Utube video showing oil draining from a bolt hole on the bottom of the LHS engine casing. (near the gear lever ).

Thanks for that. I would never have thought that was where it was. Youtube is wonderfull. Thanks for your help.

Just in case it helps anyone else the job of the oil change is simple but the drain plug is an odd size. not 14mm too tight.Not 15mm far too loose. 9/16 socket fitted nicely but not very tight. I would not like to use a 15mm it may damage the head. Funny how these odd sizes pop up every now and again. My friend had problems with the suspension on a ford. w reg i think.
