If not going into the woods then no worries. Having the catalytic converter intact does little to nothing however. If fuel is dumped, from example a no start extended cranking issue, the cat gets raw fuel and then....flames. That's why the terminal spark arrestor is required.

The cat converter is still in there, hence no flames IMO.
By the way, I am not going to woods with this motorcycle.
