It's a breather. You can run without it, but you still need to let the engine vent. You can't just plug them off.

Why?? As long as he puts a breather on the hoses he should be fine.

I thought you could use a small little breather on the hoses as well. Here read this, the original post is gone, but this is from the gurus at Z400central. But take it off if you want. I wouldn't do it.

No prob guys. I really wanted to get rid of it as well. You probably could relocate it if you took your time and did it right.

Exactly, you could relocate it to make carb access easier.
