That is a common problem with the 04/05 YFZs.
They make a kit that fixes this problem. It consists of a plug and set screw.
Type in YFZ oil plug kit into google and it should bring it up.

Also, check with Woody here at the ATM store. He may also have these plugs available.

Yes. The problem was fixed with the 06' and later models.
