164 fml/Gio beast 200 oil change Q

We have these motors in our Geo beast quads.
After assembly on machine #2, I went to change out the Chinese oil before start up, but could not find the drain plug.
The reason?
It doesn't have one.
Is this normal for the 200cc?
The first one did, so my thoughts are that its probably a money saving engineering change, or somehow the motor found its way through with no drain hole 8O
I used the filter hole to drain it. Not as good, but good enough for me.
Has anybody seen this before?

Also, when I refill, in order to get the right level in the sight glass, the dipstick shows that its way overfilled. I'm going by the sight glass level for now, and the amount to fill is just over 1 liter.
My manual says .9 liters for a fill, so that makes me think the dipstick is correct. Either way its probably OK, I'm just curious.
