That is a breather reservoir for the crankcase.  Moisture and some other vapors are collected there, and should be emptied on a regular basis.  I imagine every 2-3 months or whenever it gets full would be a good interval for this action.  It may mention it in the FSM.

Either way, it's not critical to the running condition of the bike.
