The guy I bought the bike from says this is be design and its done to restrict over fulling the reservoir?? I can't seem to find much info on it tho.
Rubbish!

What often happens is the three bolts that hold the plastic cover over the reservoir get fitted back incorrect order/place. One (the upper front) is much longer than the others and if it gets fitted in one of the shallow holes in the tank, it pierces the reservoir and you get a leak.
