Default Check engine light, code p0661

After running the diagnostic system code P0661 appeared, which is intake solenoid low/open.

This happened after installing SE air cleaner & Fuel pack.
Any idea what went wrong or what that code means?

Check the wire that was attached to the back of the stock backing plate that is used in the international models to operate a solenoid. It's not used in the domestic models.

You need to put a dummy load on it, assuming of course that you have an international bike and removed the device. You could always remove the solenoid from the old airbox and reconnect it, wire-tying it up out of the way...

Usually a 1K ohm resistor will act as a dummy load.
