I understand that it should let moisture out, but when you really look at it, there is a vent hole on top (outside of the gasket) and one on the bottom which is also outside of the gasket. The "vent area" seems to be running between the outer shell of the cover and the inner shell. It is difficult to explain, but I don't really see how it vents the area inside of the ignition cover. Further, aftermarket ignition covers don't seem to have any venting system at all. Will moisture really be a big problem with the aftermarket cover?
Also, when I removed my stock ignition cover there was a lot of dirt in there that had to be cleaned out. I can understand moisture, but there really was more dirt than I was expecting. I'm not complaining, b/c the problem is solved, just wondering why Yamaha choses to do this.
Thanks guys...
