Additional Notes
- All four Genuine Scooter Company Buddy variants — the 50, 125, 150, and 170i — share an identical brake fluid service interval of every 2,500 km or 3 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
- The capacity specification for each variant is expressed as a range rather than a fixed volume, with the reservoir level required to fall between the marked minimum and maximum lines. This approach is standard for hydraulic brake fluid reservoirs, where the acceptable operating range accounts for minor fluid expansion and normal wear-related level changes.
- The Buddy 50 and Buddy 125 both introduced hydraulic brake systems from 2006, making them the earliest models in the lineup to carry this specification.
- The Buddy 150, introduced in 2008, carries the same 2,500 km or 3-month check interval as the smaller-displacement 50 and 125 variants despite the difference in engine size.
- The Buddy 170i, the highest-displacement variant with a starting year of 2012, follows the same brake fluid reservoir check interval as the rest of the Buddy range, at 2,500 km or 3 months under normal conditions.
- A 3-month time-based interval running alongside the 2,500 km distance interval reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, which absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time regardless of mileage accumulation.
