Default Air Cleaner Question

Does it hurt to keep the protective rain cover over the air cleaner all the time?

Other than weathering and stretching and drying the elastic out, no.

Doesn't hurt anything.

Thanks guys. Not wanting to do it on day rides when I know the weather will be nice. Just on long trips to keep from having to stop and put it on.
