Today, as I was redoing my breather catch can (found a very cool piece BTW) I discovered a loose and capped plug/connector just hanging down from behind my air cleaner throttle body (whatever it is called). Can you tell me what it goes to? Should I be concerned that it is disconnected (although it looks to have been that way for a while)?



With Cap on

With cap removed.

 

if under seat, something for a service tech to hook a diagnostic machine up to your bike am guessing.

behind air cleaner....

 

If I’m not mistaken, it connects to something that’s required on overseas models. I remember a while back someone asked the same question, but I can’t remember the component.

 

Can you tell me what it goes to ? Yes
Should I be concerned that it is disconnected ? No

That would be the active air control , which is a valve that is installed inside some of the stock air cleaners , it opens a valve to let more air into the throttle body as you roll on throttle , nothing to worry about , just wire tie it up there so it doesn't rattle while your riding .
