Weird hole in the side of my 500R?

RE: Weird hole in the side of my 500R?
Nothing serious. From the looks of it, I'd say it's only a .22.
Actually, that is a viewhole to see the rear brake fluid reservoir. It's more of a symbolic hole really. If you shine a flashlight through it, you ~might~ be able to see your brake fluid level back there. Whenever I've inspected it in earnest, I removed the rear seat, removed the phillips screw (located about 8 inches ahead of that hole) and pulled that cowling panel out far enough to get a good look at the reservoir.
Peace!

I didn't want to call you on this, but you know that's a 1997 color scheme, and not a 2007, right?
Other than color, the bikes are identical anyway, but I hope someone didn't sell you that claiming it's an '07.
Check the decal on the headtube to be sure.
Peace!

The ~ONLY~ thing changed between the 1994 model and the 2007 model is the color of the plastic.
All else remains unchanged, inside and out.
(And dummies keep complaining about how the bike looks 'dated'. Pfft...)

Pic should be attached, this isn't my bike, but it is a Ninja. I'm sure someone has noticed this little thing before.
