"Mysterious" valve

It is an EGR valve for emissions control. It comes with the Euro emissions kit , one end goes to the exhaust pipe and one end into the air box. You don't need it, take it off. You should open up your power valve cover on the the same side (left) and check to see if the power valve is the right one. If it is black anodized then the dealer did not put the right valve (silver) in. This would give you poor performance. The black valve is solid with no cutaway.
In know my eyesight keeps going downhill...
That hose going to the mystery valve appears to be connected to the lower radiator hose. I don't see a hose/tube connected to the exhaust pipe, which would be expected for an EGR valve.
Can you confirm where the ends of the hoses/tubes go from the mystery valve?

optical illusion ... take another look. The egr valve tube just blends in with the rad tube. does notactually connect

Indeed, the "output" pipe is not connected to anything - neither the exhaust, nor the radiator pipe. It's just left on the loose. The input was somewhere under the seat, i.e. inside the airbox. Thank you very much for the assurance that I can reduce the wieght of the bike by removing this "system".
I'll also check the colour of the power valve.
One question more: are there any limiters or something in the carburator I should remove also? The bike came with additional jets and needle, but I still haven't opened the carburator to see what's inside.
P.S.
This is the first (and so far only) GasGas bike of the "dealer" I bought it from, so we're on the same spot in the learning curve.

There is a weird-looking plastic piece with a hole in it, which I've concluded was the airbox restrictor. But it was outside the bike.
Actually, I think the bike arrived half-homologized. It had all the lights on it, but in the crate there was a note that "due to logistic problems, GasGas aftermarket department will send me later the homologation exhaust pipe, the sparkplug wrench" and some other stuff. More than a month later I'm still waiting for those, by the way...
I'll check for the throttle limiter anyway. Thanks. I doubt that there is one, but you never know.

A nice way of saying "due to the fact that someone did not do their job we ran out of spark plug wrenches and the proper , er legal exhaust pipes. Not wanting to lose a sale we sent it along as it is. If the individual in question ever gets his head out of his ass and locates the plug wrenches and exhuast pipes and can remember who we sent all these bikes without the proper parts too ... you just might get your plug wrench and exhaust pipe."
I don't think I would want the pipe with the catalytic convertor.
Anyone notice the choke actuator cable?
Good eye. As if its not running lean enough already.
Its nice to know where they tacked that on. My bike came with the euro pipe and parts and I had no idea where it would go. The think the extra main jet that it came with was a 115 !

The catalytic converter is actually pretty easy to take out if you are a welder.
