    Would hazard a guess that like the flapper in the air intake on the blade or to do with the pair valve system

    Ok boys your on the right tracks, not that i know much about it. Its already been removed but is throwing up an error code so i presume i just need to use a resistor to get rid of the error code however I'm having problems finding where the plug is that it was plugged into so that i can use a resistor..

    It plugs in on the panel under the fairing on the left hand side (as you sit on the bike).
    Took all mine out recently and didn't get an error code !

    If you had had the Woolich Pro Log ECU Flashing kit installed you can switch off all these pesky errors at source once the Junks been removed! ;)

    Matt you could always just attach the solenoid back onto the bike and live with the few extra grams weight but it will allow the ECU to be happy as it still see the draw from the solenoid but the rest of the gubbins it normally interacts with is gone!

    It would save buying a large resister which will take the current draw and having to hardwire it into the loom! These can get very hot or just blow out if resister is too low to cope with power demands!
    Not sure how much of weight difference there will be in the end between resistor and plastic solenoid TBH.
