I removed and blanked mine off during lockdown but to be honest it hadn't be functioning for years as I'd had it tuned out.
I wouldn't think its worth doing if you don't have a power commander?
If your curious then just buy a blanking bolt, disconnect the actual sensor from the pipe (which requires maximum effort... think rusty exhaust stud levels of swearing haha), tuck it up out the way and cable tie it secure (out of the wind) then take your bike for a spin.
If you decide you want ride then i believe the blanking module you need for the ecu end is about £30 on ebay, just unplug the sensor under the take and plug in the module. Stops you getting any error codes on the dash and also stops the ecu trying to alter the fueling
