Some people like me have gotten the CDV modified (wider opening) to avoid any warranty issues. Had Zeckhausen do it.
I believe the CDV actually protects the transmission at the expense of the clutch, by slowing the linkup between the engine and tranny. So it's more to protect noobs from destroying the rest of the tranny by resulting in slower clutch linkage (more friction wear) if you try to drop the clutch at 6k RPM.
The modification opens up the opening in the CDV to allow for a faster clutch takeup without the "delay".

I have the modded cdv installed in mine too. It's easier if you have the modified one, but the delete is fine. In any case, it's noob protection.
