Oil pan and cam housing
Ok, this might sound dumb but I looked through my maintenance manual and cannot find what the following two hex head threaded inserts are -
Got a 2015 Limited Low - Next to the oil drain plug is one of the threaded inserts. On the cam housing, under the bike, just forward of the oil drain plug is another threaded hex head insert.
They both look like additional drain holes for their area. Would that be correct?
Thanks,

It is routine for manufacturers to drill holes (and add features) for stuff that isn't included on every model. It is cheaper to do that than deliberately miss them out on some units. If there is nothing there on your bike, then there is nothing to worry about! There are quite probably other features on your bike that aren't used for your model. For your amusement you can use one of the on-line parts websites to look at other models, to see if you can spot which ones use those features!

Probably too much information but one thing sort of leads to another; you probably would have followed up with "what is sumping"; so just saving us both some time.
