That is clearly the decomp controller. You don't actually "need" the decomp system at all. Most cafe conversions remove the entire system because we don't have anywhere to hide the components. The system is there for an outlier use case where the battery might not be able to overcome the compression of the engine. In thousands of starts I've yet to come across this condition. And I'm not away of anyone ever posting "I had to use the decomp yesterday".

You can put a simple lever on the cylinder head where the solenoid is located for that 1 in million start.

If you want to keep it, just look in the for sale section for people who list cafe conversion take-off parts. Someone on the forum has one.

Managed to contact the guy who sold me the bike and asked him, with picture of this Decomp relay ( or controller, whatever you call it), if he could look and try to find it somewhere. He said he had found it and had lost my contact to let me know. Should mail it this week.
Would that be enough to keep the bike from starting ? Doesn't even crank.

Yes, the starter button goes thru there.
