Default Help with unknown wire

Just posted in general as well but freaking out a bit that I messed something up.

Replacing my stock air cleaner all seemed good, as I was working on the external breather system I see this wire hanging. Can't figure out where it goes, I certainly didn't unplug it when removing old cleaner.

Seems like maybe an extra offshoot of a nearby plug that gets tucked?

Rant the bike in neutral seemed ok but I have the air cleaner partially disassembled just in case.

Since were at it anyone here use an external breather kit with hose? Thoughts on best way to run it?

Not sure what it's for but it doesn't need to be connected to anything. Look at the back of your stock air cleaner, there is a clip that held the wire.

On international bikes that wire goes to what's called "active intake". It's just part of a standard wiring harness that isn't used in the U.S.
