I am wondering the purpose of and importance of a part called a "head cover" (schematic ID 49016A) which I just had to yank out from between my radiator and engine because it had slipped from wherever it was supposed to be and landed on my exhaust head pipe and began to burn while I was in traffic.
I managed to pull in to the bike shop I was headed for to get my bike inspected for the year and luckily they had a hose nearby that I squirted a little water on before it decided to ignite 6 gallons of gas and send my bike to the junk pile.
Anyway... That little plate / flap / cover...whatever it is, why is it there, what does it do and what are the consequences of not being able to even remotely get it back in without tearing the tank and aibox off?
As far as I can tell it's about as necessary as you-know-what's on a bull.
