there should be a tube made out of the same stuff as the airbox ,, on the top case there are screws that hold it all together and one in the centre that picks up on the tube., if you see what i mean ,,so there should be a screw in there

hang on are we on about the same hole? I mean the 16mm one toward the back of the bike! when i took off the tank it had a ratty bit of gaffa flapping over the top of it! so someone has tried to block it before, do you think i should block it and would that hole explain a little bit of lag when rolling back on the throttle?

what happens is the screw get over tightened and strips the thread so the screw wont stay in so someone has taped it up and no it should not cause you any problems
