Hello.

I'm trying to determine what the disconnected electrical connections go to that are shown in the picture. My guess is maybe a fuel management system such as a Power-commander. There appear to be a couple extra connectors that I'm unsure of so any insite would be appreciated.

Long story short. My daughters bike was stolen and this is how it was recovered.

Thanks in advance.

Look like the bike went down on the right side? Brake pedal and right footpeg appears broken loose, air intake also

Yes it did. I'm pretty sure the person who stole it dumped it and left it on the side of the rode. I'm thinking someone started to strip it before it was picked up.

Looks like fuel injector plugs to me.

Can't help with the one that is circled in the upper left but, the lower right looks like the throttle body.

Thanks for the picture Ratwerke. This is very helpful. It appears at least two of the connectors to to the throttle body. I'm thinking the other two to to the intake manifold and not the Power commander.

Yes, all those connectors go back to the throttle body and intake.
Power commanders and fuel paks connect at the diagnostic plug near the battery.
One thought.... if that was impacted hard enough to shear the throttle body off, I would get an intake manifold, or at least remove, inspect for cracks and re-gasket to the heads. A factory service manual will save your butt big time. Looks like you need to inspect everything bolted to that side, at a minimum. Don't forget exhaust gaskets.
Here's a pic of the other side of the connectors for the fuel injectors.
