Considering how many I have come across (mostly R1s), I never thought of measuring it. Not sure who suggested measuring the hole on the Facebook post as I cannot find the post now. It may be a 1/2" as they are a common enough oil way plug apparently.
Mine is missing on my new to me bike I have no idea where to get one any help greatly appreciated.
For future info : Generally the Fzs1000 is very easy to get neutral as a stand still, , if you suddenly have problems getting neutral and the clutch drags a bit this is usually the issue, core cap/llug has popped out of the end of the clutch shaft and will normally sit in the clutch basket as it cannot go anywhere.. Since yours was not there it is safe to say the previous owner may have replaced the clutch in a bid to fix the issue and lost the cap. Many Fazer/R1 were sold because of this issue which as I mentioned in your Faccebook post was probably why yours was sold off relatively cheap.
