That would be the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve. IMO, this is a good device to have in place if you can manage it. It draws blowby gases (combustion gases that leak past the piston rings) out of the crankcase and put them back into the combustion chambers where they get a second chance at providing energy, reducing pollution, and keeping the crankcase pressure down where it belongs. One of the cheapest, most effective, and innocuous devices -- even helps fuel economy!
If you DO plug it, make sure the crankcase is ventilated properly or you will have oil spewing out in more places than Triumph designed for -- like dipstick, oil filler cap, rocker cover, sump cover, rear main seal, front main seal ...
