Ok then - the fenordon ring stays on. Besides, why not provide a bit of humor for the Japanese Engineer.

Back in the olden days here on KF there was a much loved feller from Iowa who spouted his "infinite wisdom" 
here on the forum. He was mighty proud of himself when he got one of the very first 2009's around. He later brought up the same question about the foam ring. I don't think he ever got a definitive answer, but if I remember right he ended up cutting the foam thingy out of there. You might get lucky and find a post about it.

One our customers was an "accessory engineer" for Kawasaki. He told me all bikes are designed and prototyped etc in Japan. Most street, high dollar bikes are mfg'd in Japan. The rest are made all over the world. Funny he quit Kawy, moved to Tailand and is working as a scuba instructor.

If rocks are big enough to jam there no foam is gonna stop it and you'll be replacing your bent rotor! Besides, my 650 has one on the rear and none on the front. Definitely there to damp rotor squeak or other brake/rim related noise. In Kawasaki's parts list it is called a Damper-Rear Wheel and Damper-Front Wheel.
