Default Stumped. Rubber bushing?

Ok guys. Im stumped. Went for a nice ride, things are running great. Misfire is resolved. Noticed my throttle had a little more play than I like.
After the ride I pulled in my inclined driveway and this little rubber bushing fell. Im not sure if it came off of something but I’ve looked everywhere. It looked to have fallen from the front. Couldnt tell from what height. It looks to be cracked in half. Any idea what to check?

Looks like the boot on the stock shifter link.

Take a look at the 7:11 mark of the vid.

I was inspecting the piece and noticed it looks like something flat was in there.
Also I’m almost sure it came off my bike. It just smells like my bike?

Maybe far fetched but does your kickstand use a rubber bumper? Some bikes have em and disintegrate after a while
