It's a valve. If you unplug it, it won't operate (obviously). The resistor is just there so it doesn't throw an error code.

Did you use a resistor on yours? To do it right with that connector I would want to cut it off then solder it then shrink wrap it, but then that would also not sit well with me.

This is all I did:

Waiting for it to arrive from the vendor. These things cost pennies, and are widely available.

Of course, I'm not new to this stuff. Radio Shack down the road has them. Did you remove the plug or cut the plug? IF you removed it, did you simply fashion a tool?

Same here, and then it's less reversible, and about the same amount of work.

I just figured out how to safely remove the plug, it's stupid easy. I'm going to solder in a resistor then shrink wrap it.

If you want, I'll do a quick write up while I do it.

I tried a resistor 23ohm however it got hot and partially melted the plug! I just plugged the valve back in in the end. If anyone else is successful with the resistor I'd like to know so that I can eliminate the valve completely. It's fit isn't great on the bracket as it seems to push on a sensor or something behind it.

Wait for my post, as you don't have to either remove the plug or cut the wires. It's really easy to fashion the "resistor-bridge" out of some bits of wire, a couple of spade connectors and some shrink-wrap tubing. The you just plug it into the existing socket and you're all done. Neat, easy and totally reversible.

Will post the complete "how-to" with pics sometime this weekend.

23ohm is too close to the actual operating parameters of the system.

 

[TransNone13]

I'm doing this right now, this is too simple with the specs you shared.

 

[AnotherHobby]

I'm going to do the resistor method, but if it's just a valve, is there any danger is just leaving it uncapped?

 

[TransNone13]

Done picture pending

23ohm is too close to the actual operating parameters of the system.

Would higher than 47Ω work okay?

Before being neatly zip-tied in place:

PS Tony, would this trick transfer to the Panigale? I want to remove that as well. I assume if this fails somehow, I will see a check engine light? I hope so, then I can troubleshoot it...

 

[TransNone13]

I wish we could edit posts....

Anyway, to revert back to stock simply remove the tack soldering job after cutting off the heat shrink. Then reinsert the plugs into the plastic connector (which I would label), viola!

Yes, should also work with Panigale. If something fails (resistor, wiring, etc) it will throw error code.

Right, but does that trigger a check engine light? I don't have a DDS... Sorry if I misunderstood your answer. And thank you for the info on the Panigale!

It should.

Correct...
