Cannot be much different from the Savage. Greets Kropatchek

I'll tell you:
The one facing forward ( when sitting on the bike) Grin

is for the connection of a oilpressure gauge. The one pointing down ( when the bike is on the black rubbers) Grin

is for draining the oilfilter cavity. Never used because it's almost unreacheable.
