I'm not a great fan of Facebook, but resurrected an old account as there is quite a lot of information there. Here is the content of the Facebook post:

"Hi Everyone,
The information is about the Canister Pipe. A member of this group ask some weeks ago.
I will leave this message in English , German and Braz. Portuguese (in case there is people who speak the same language as me).
I hope it help you with some more information about your motorcycle.
Ride safe and greetings from Switzerland .

ENG - Following the question some weeks ago, for information about the component (1) shown in the following picture, I would like to inform you that this is the canister expansion pipe (1) which connects with the canister
breather pipe (2) and the fuel tank breather pipe (3) through a Y-shaped connector.
The canister expansion pipe (1) was designed to collect any liquid to avoid saturating the canister and
promote its evaporation.
Note The plug at the end of the canister expansion pipe (1) must NEVER BE REMOVED."
