+1 It's easier for us to help out if you also include pictures of what you are trying to describe.

Also, you should get the service manual. If you don't want to fork out the $60+ for the actual manual, you can download it from deathace's sig.

I could be wrong but i believe that is the throttle position sensor that's not connected. Check under the the one on the right underneath the airbox and you should see a white connector there very close to the frame. No expert but pretty sure that's the problem. Let us know how u go.

Here's some thoughts:

A Should either go into the TPS sensor at position C (It's tucked under Airfilter housing between the frame).

or B is plugged into the wrong place and therefore should be plugged into C and A should be plugged into position B.

Side note: D - I believe there should be two wires with plugs coming off of that strand. The brown one goes to the fuel injection plug on the right side of the tank, and a black one that goes to the plug on the bottom left side of the tank. Maybe it's there, but didn't see it in your photo.
