Baghira hole on right side of engine

[Nabsteel]

Hi.
Just noticed this afternoon after riding for half an hour this morning there was some dry whitish residue (which I stupidly wiped off) coming out of this hole (see pictures).

I Had a look at parts list but couldn't see anything about it. Is it meant to have something in it or is it a vent or what?

As you sit on the bike it's on the right

Thanks

how about a water drain for the hole the spark plug sets down in
so the water does not drain onto the piston top when you take the plug out after a wash or storm..
i recommend a clean out with one of those things they call a pipe cleaner
and shine a bright lamp in it and see where it comes out

I`ve just had a look at my Skorpion, that`s the same too, so there`s a chance it`s supposed to be like that? But now you`ve got me wondering what it`s for? Maybe it`s a Yamaha thing, used for something to screw into on another model?? Dunno, but I`m certainly going to try and find out!?

Sorry David, I thought you were only suggesting that, at least we now know what it`s for

It is a spark plug drain hole

[Nabsteel]

Yep I think you are all right. It's a drain hole. It doesn't seem to go anywhere but I did wash the bike a few days earlier and I'm guessing it was dryish residue that came out from the ride. I don't remember leaning over that far though!

Glad that was solved!

Thanks everyone.

make sure to clean around the spark plug good so no trash finds it way to the piston top
when you take out the plug

I pull the plug cap and hook up the shop vac...quick dab over the hole just to make sure nuttin is in there...
