Plastic Spacer on Throttle Assy

[VmaXXX]

Swapped out my beat-up silver bars for black ones. During reassembly I noticed this loose plastic washer on the throttle assy between the grip and cable housing. Can't find it in any parts schematic or service manual. In it's current location it isn't doing anything. Made me wonder if it belongs just inside the cable housing as a bushing. Can anyone confirm if it just floats around in that space?

Its there so grip rubber does not stick to cable housing at any circumstance.

Perfect. Thank you sir!

Actually I might have been wrong about this. I had that spacer exactly as you had it in picture. Now I installed Rizoma grips and there was this kind of spacer, it belongs inside cable housing (before grip) if grip has over 1 mm play (longitudinal). I used it, and its nice and snug with it
