No need to worry; it's standard without bolts.

Thank you, Tom.

It's the same on other HQ / KTM engines. Those holes are most likely for manipulating engines in the factory.

Thanks! The salesperson said it’s for skid plates. I’m just glad it’s not missing bolts from the factory.

Skid plates sounds better than holes for manipulation

This is a pic of Norden. Empty holes are there. Skid plates as well…
