Have a RS's on mine too but no cover. Would probably use it if washing the bike or heavy rain storm.

I 've been runing with no cover for about 2 years. for the most part, no problems. BUT, I keep the stock cover in one of my side bags becuase in pouring as rain, you def need it.

I've been caught in some Monsoon type weather with no ill effects. I reoil at the first opportunity. Also, when I wash the bike, I cover the A/C with a plastic bag. The soap tends to leach the oil out of the filter if I don't.
