I'd guess they are covering themselves in case someone thinks the Stage 2 cover is a substitute for the actual air filter. An XTX/R would run very lean with risk of damage if you just ran the Stage 2 cover only and also unfiltered air would enter the engine via the snorkel/top opening.



You can check the plug, but a "plug chop" isn't as reliable for checking the mixture as it used to be because modern petrol with ethanol and other additives can give rise to some funny and odd colouring. With a Stage 2 setup, you would definitely benefit from getting some extra fuel in there, either with a Kev mod or PC.
