I believe it's just a wire junction. It's completely unrelated to the airbox in any case. I have an airbox mod on mine too and necessitated relocating it, I just tucked it in alongside the box the the left there
appreciate the reply! I will do the same and tuck it away
edit* All right after seeing your reply I got to second guessing myself. I've read so many of your posts. I deeply appreciate you contributing tothezenith.
The only other modification is a Yoshimura r77 slip on. I figured that today I would only be removing the snorkel just because I didn't want to go too far too fast.
if you ever come back to this thread, let me know your thoughts and an otherwise stock engine and doing the air box mod with an enlarged intake and replacing the stock air filter with a foam filter. I don't want to run lean!
I ended up ordering another airbox lid and carved out a much larger hole lolol 😂
I can't find the thread now but I sealed an air filter from a Honda lawnmower to the carved out lid, and I'm in love with the change.
the roar at WOT is legit and I feel like the engine braking has been reduced - when I get off the throttle it winds down much slower and smoother. now I've been bouncing off the rev limiter more too, the howl is addicting.
thanks for the reassurance!
