Yes, if you look under the heads, by the exhaust pipes, you will see the small holes.
I get a thin coat hanger and cut a 6" piece and stick it in from the bottom up.
If you take the spark plug wire off, you will see the wire pop out next to the spark plug.

Hi Slider. If you don't do what Fl suggests ,this will happen.
Water filled the spark plug hole and the plug rusted out. Bike ran well but got orange water on my pant leg. Do what Fl says and all will be well.

the dirt should come back down but if some of it gets in next to the spark plug, blow it out with some compressed air so that the dirt does not fall into the cylinder when you take out the spark plug.
