Re: Aluminum hose to air-box from exh.man 700 1987

It is used to cause warmed air to enter the intake manifold to speed warmup and increase efficiency. So long as the airbox thermostat is working properly (the replacement is only about $15 from RPR and others), it's a good idea in the cooler weather - for both gas mileage and engine life.

When spring rolls around, take it back out if you'd like. You're right about wanting colder air for an always warm engine (warm weather).
