The part the holes are in is made of some kind of white plastic, to me the plastic didn't look strong enough so I called Traxxion the place I bought the compressor tool from and they told yup that's it. Worked fine didn't break.
Yes that is suppose to be like that. But the white plastic part as I see it often are totally free of hole. Instead there is a bottom flange all around. Maybe yamaha want you to buy a special tool
Search is your friend. And if you search within a sub-forum the results are limited to that subject. For example the sub-forum about suspension and handling.
I am always impressed how people here suggest things without readings..... sir, this is for the ES with is different. there is no holes on the spaces as written above. I did a search myself before here and elsewhere that is how I found that special tool for the ES (electronic suspension) only
