Fitting a heavy breather
Hi guys
I'm fitting in a Vance and Hines VO2 AC.
There is this wire which came off the original as pictured below.
Where do I or what should I do with it?
Thanks

Tuck it up somewhere out of the way! It's only for International bikes with an "active" breather control.

The wire is for a sensor on European models. Just secure it out of sight.

Correct. You do not need to do anything to it other than hide it.

Thanks guys.
Btw, the breather hose ... doesn't seat flushed into the nipples.
Should I just leave it as it is or could I zip tie it?
I'm just afraid one day it would pop out although it looks decently slotted in.

From the manual:
"The active exhaust system utilizes an actuator valve located in the rear exhaust pipe which is connected to a servo motor via a cable. The valve position automatically adjusts to enhance engine performance.
Heres a diagram showing where it would be if fitted -

I saw the actuator.
It behaves like an open and close valve.
My local shop actually soldered the actuator to be opened at all times.
I dunno if that is a blessing in disguise or not.
