Looks like the oil pressure sensor sender. Can you ride it? If its just a dribble yes you can. If it turns into a jet of oil, I wouldn't recommend it.

Could be a number of things which make it go bad. Vibration, rocks, bad crimping. Could have just been one that got by quality control and onto your bike. Nonetheless, easy fix. Get ready to ride!

when installing new sensor, should I tighten it in, until no threads are showing? I have threads showing on my original one.
