Engine oil light?

does the Buddy 125 have a warning light when the engine oil is low? I thought I read somewhere that it doesn't? Maybe that was an earlier model.

Looking at my display, I don't see a spot for it. But it could be hidden behind the graphic and just light up like the high-beam does.
I'll poke around some more.

The 2 smoke (fiddy) model has a low amount of oil light.
I wish 4 stroke (buck twenty five) buddy had a low oil pressure light.

I concur... or at least something to notify me when my gear oil drain plug falls out like it did last week. Luckily it happened within 1/4 mile of where we were stopping and I noticed oil on the tire before I took off. Was fortunate that no damage occurred. We traced the drips back down the road but never found the plug. Freak accident.

No, the Buddy 125 has no oil light. The Buddy 50 does. As Leeeeeeeroy said (125 is a 4-stroke, 50 is a 2-stroke)

Gear oil plug?
Crap. Why would that just 'fall out'?
Now I've got to run downstairs and see if Velveeta's OK.
Luckily I keep her in the house with me. Along with being paranoid about mechanical issues, I'm also a little tiny bit afraid of the dark.

It was on my dads IS 150. We just had the 1st service done and either the plug didn't get tightened enough or the washer fell out and the plug was put back sans washer. My dad watched them perform the service and we thought everything was tightened back up properly, but who knows. The good news is that no harm was done.

Isn't the gear oil plug a plastic knob like the one on the oil filler hole?
Don't know how that could fall out. But I should take another look at the oil drain plug. Didn't see that the last time I looked.

It wasn't the white plastic plug that fell out it was the metal drain plug located just below the white one. I think the white plastic plug is just for filling purposes.
