Err, no thats for water drain from that area, IMHO not sufficient sized hole to combat behind screen turbulance
Done: Homo sap navigation/ twisty thing on bars to make it go vroom/ grabby thing to make it stop (in front of twisty thing)/ 'leccy things front and rear to make it glow at night/ Sucky + drippy oiler thing to keep chains moist (!!) / Laser Pro Stock Race pipes / bleeding ear drums (see previous mod)
To do: Educate homo sap nav system to operate twisty + grabby things/ get ear plugs

All Trashed Now... Pants... its a Cat B Mwahahaha it lives again!!

The opening is not wide indeed but the screen isn't big either. Surely this slot isn't there by sheer coincidence?

I remember riding an ST1100 Pan European which had two openings on the sides (OE screen). I don't know how bad it would be without them but the turbulence and noise was deafening and when it started to rain it got even worse: Water was pushed up around to edges of those openings, collecting into big fat drops until they were heavy enough to be blown right into your face. Very unpleasant. My BMW R1100RT had an adjustable screen (ideal!) and although there was plenty space under the screen in any of the positions it didn't suffer from this effect. The only problem with that fairing was that as a rider you are quite far away from the screen (unlike the old BMW models of the late seventies - eighties) so protection against rain was only achieved at really high speeds.

Anyway: be careful drilling away in your screen if you regularly ride in the rain.

This is true, and there has to be some air bleed but I do not think the 'hole' is sufficient size to bleed enough air to counteract the -ve pressure behind the screen, hence the improvements people are seeing with extra holes/lifted screens etc.
