Question Name this CBR600F4 connector!

I'm having trouble identifying what this unused connector is (see attached picture from the Honda Repair Manual). This is pertaining to a 1999 Honda CBR600F4. I can't find anything about it in the Haynes or Honda repair manuals!

Cheers

Thanks for the reply.

I noticed the throttle sensor label as well, but the question is that the 3-pin plug is not connected to anything - it's just laying on top of the engine/crankcase. So, what is it good for? I just purchased the motorcycle, and I'm doing my own "full" inspection and maintenance (saving stuff that requires special tools for the shop however).

That's so strange, I posted about 30 minutes ago (before Turbulenz's post) and it still hasn't shown up yet. Anyways, when it does (above this post), it'll describe my question better; it's not connected to anything - normal?

Sorry, is it normal that this connector is NOT connected to anything? It's just laying there...

It should be connected to the throttle position sensor on the side of the throttle shaft.

Even though this motorcycle is carbureted and NOT fuel injected, it still has a TPS? That's my next question. I don't see anywhere to connect it. Even in the above illustrations it looks like it's just laying there.
