When I first got my Stallion I was wanting to wash the engine, but I decided to dry clean it. I later found out if I had washed it I would have had my floor board filled with water, there is a hole that leads to the floor board from the engine bay. This is for those who didn't know. :D

Not knowing anything about the Stallion, It could be they are there to let water drain out, What without a top or inclosed cabin, So when it rains the cabin wont fill with water..... My Slingshot has many drain holes just for that purpose ...:Shrug:...

The two hole are at the top , no draining can be done.
 
75500 miles on mine and have never had any issue with water collecting on the floor boards. Many, in the thousands, of miles driven in the rain. Floor boards are higher in the back which allows any water to run forward and out the slits for the pedals. Before I had my cover, I had 2" of rain a night for 3 straight nights in Texas which filled the cup holders to the brim but, nothing on the floor area. Tomg

Same with my Slingshot, The cup holders filled but the water drained out the slits/holes in the floor.....Now that i have the top so far i haven't had that happen ...
 
I didn't know there was a drain at the pedals, but even so, I was letting those that don't allow water to enter their trikes like myself know that by washing the engine water can get inside. I would have been a little upset if I had washed my engine and found water soaked carpet. :(
