If there is enough clearance around the top of the engine and the frame, that will give them a good chance of them getting it out for you. Worst case yes the engine will need to come out, but on the FZS1000 that easy due to one of the frame rails being removable.
In the photo I can see lots of dirt on the camshaft and its lobes (from pressumably when took the cover off), you really don't want this going into the engine.

Thank's for the advice, i will definitly clean it all up, there was nothing i could do to prevent it from getting there. The pipes were rusted so bad they almost fell apart.
