You would think it would make bike idle poorly but I have seen them off and bike idled fine. The plug can get blown off if the engine ever spit back through the intake. If it is off you will chase your tail forever trying to tune for it.
Yup. What he said exactly. Just went through it. Put a new cap on and put a zip tie so it couldn't pop off again.
