I'd zip tie it up so it's not dangling but all bikes have that. I think it's related to the international bikes pollution controls or something like that. On a stock bike it's attached to the back of the AC but doesn't actually connect to anything. Nothing to worry about. I wouldn't recommend cutting it off though since these are the new Can Bus bikes and it might cause issues if you cut it off. Like I said though leaving it and zip tying it out of the way won't cause any problems.

Cut it off and you wont miss it. You have another un used connector on the frame by the tranny.

I noticed that one the last time I was under the bike. Any idea what it's for?

That's just a connector for California-European-Australian pollution controls.
Ignore it.

It is for export bikes only. And it is for the euro active exhaust. Cali bikes just have a evap canister.

I just noticed this connector earlier this evening and was going to ask here. Thank y'all for the answer! My guess is the dealer left it dangling after my 5K service.
