It's a 2008 no traction control.
In that case, I would say you have little to lose (except time) and a lot to gain. Most of us seriously doubt it will affect anything else negatively. Presumably the main purpose of the secondary butterflies was to "tame" the bike, making it less aggressive at lower RPM's... I suppose because Kawasaki believed touring types would be scared of 1400cc's. It probably also helps some with emissions and mileage (by forcing a lighter initial throttle). Using it for traction control came later.... and that function is in additional to ignition control (which is probably just as or perhaps more important).
