Default Broken Wire Connector

Guys could use some help while installing my 4180 amp I found a broken wire connector up around the triple tree ground screw it looks like a ground wire would like to know exactly what it is before reattaching it to ground. Going to try and attach a picture.

Sure looks like a ground. What color is the wire? Grounds are Black.

hi, I know it’s been a while but did you ever get your answer? I had my inner fairing tilted forward for new bars and noticed the same wire sitting there. Not sure if it was ever attached to anything but there is a spade connection point on the triple tree ground. Bike runs fine so I’m not sure about reattaching it.
