I'm pretty sure it is supposed to be capped. If it's the one I'm thinking about, the little black rubber cap that's installed at the factory is one of the first things to dry rot and fall off. I can't imagine they'd deliberately leave an unfiltered air opening into the throttle body. A dab of RTV would probably seal it fine.

It is supposed to be capped or connected to your carbon canister if equipped. They often blow off if the bike backfires.
