I was adding a DFO to my injectors and noticed a unused vacuum port on the throttle body . Should this be plugged off ? I didn't see any unused hoses hanging around

Yep. Mine looked like that too. The dealer said it's for California emissions systems and it should be capped. I just put a piece of rubber tubing over it, bent it over, and used a zip-tie to keep the tubing kinked/hold it in place.

Yes plug it up. Auto Part stores will have the vacuum plugs. Mine didn't have one either I guess its kinda common for these to be missing, i've come across three other bikes that were missing theres as well.

Pull yours off at idle and see. I would, but it's raining.
