I am replacing the stock intake with a SE Ventilator. Seems pretty straightforward except for one thing. When I removed the stock teardrop intake there is a connector hooked up to the backplate. When I look inside the socket on the backplate it doesn't look like the connector actually hooks into anything. The SE doesn't have this socket on it's backplate. Do I just leave this connector hangin' where it is?

 

Yep, thats for the international models. Zip tie it up and tuck it away. Good to go!

 

Yep, what you found is the active intake solenoid connector used on the European bikes... tuck it away and fugget about it

 

Thanks guys! much appreciated!
