Default Help identifying this cable

Hi y'all, recently bought my first Harley, 2018 street bob with about 5k on it. Was checking the oil today after about 500 miles and noticed this cable issue on the muffler. Could anyone give me any information on this so I can determine the severity/urgency of fixing it? Was gonna give her a bath tomorrow but not sure if I should now. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks all, I'm loving the bike, even riding in the winter!

That's the O2 sensor cable. What's the issue?

That's your O2 sensor, the black you see is just a cover to protect the wires. No worries, bathe away!

Just that the casing has come away a bit. I don't normally like to see any wires exposed!
