2 Questions

Hi...
Ok now it's time hehe
1: I have a Red dot and a Yellow dot on my replacement Dunlop SP Sport 5000
Which one do I align with the valve stem? Yellow?
2: If you open your gas caps (on 1600's) there is a small nipple attached to the cap that recesses down into a hole where there is a rubber seal (so to speak)
The other day when I gassed up I noticed that the section of the seal that "seals" with the nipple came apart and stuck to the nipple.
So then is this so important I need to replace asap? if so why?
Is it not so important?
So far the only thing I have noticed since it tore apart was that I now hear that "Whining" you normally hear when turning off the bike and it is trying to release the gas pressure in the tank.
It only does it now and then not all of the time
I was thinking about take a small o ring and push it over the nipple and close the lid hoping that it might just stay in place until I can order a replacement
Thanks
