| After all this time, I finally noticed the second drain bolt just to the left of the oil drain plug. What does that plug hold? I assume the filler hole is the cap on top of the left side engine case? There was no mention of this in my manual |

Don't Touch it! That isn't a Drain Bolt.
The bolt holds the Spring & Tensioner for the cam chain.

| Whew! That was close! Another hour or so and I would have unscrewed it out of curiousity! My manual is for the 70cc, not the 110 so there was no mention of this. Why is there a screw on cap on the left side of the motor?By the way , my stock shocks are still available for sale. |

They don't mention it in any of the books so it's left alone. Even in a "Honda" owners manual it's not mentioned. I know, I have them for most of the smaller Vintage Honda's I own. Everyone that buys a vehicle from me I tell them "Leave it Alone"... 50cc-140cc horizontal engine cases are almost all the same.
Pros or Cons, either way "Curiosity Kills The Cat" if you know what I mean 
Why is there a screw on cap on the left side of the motor?
Left side as your sitting on it? What cap?
I left the post for your Shocks.

| If you are sitting on the bike and you look down to your left on top of the left case, there is a slotted cap that looks like a fill hole of some sort.I was wondering what that was for. |

| That is the hole that you use when you are setting the timing marks. It is just an inspection hole. No need to be tinkering with it. |
