Default Throttle body balancing

Just back in from the garage from carrying out the first service since the warranty ran out. Wanted to check the throttle body balancing but got a bit confused. I've had a search but can't find the answer I'm after...

Manual says to remove the airbox to gain access. Fair enough. In structions on removing the airbox say to disconnect the IAT and PAIR connectors and the IAP connector and vacuum hose (as well as the crankcase breathers). The instructions for balancing the throttle bodies then say to reconnect these but the only way I can see to do this means putting the airbox back in the way.


CALIBRATING EACH GAUGE (For vacuum balancer gauge)
•Lift and support the fuel tank . (=5-6)
•Start up the engine and run it in idling condition for warming
up.
•Stop the warmed-up engine.
•Remove the air cleaner box . (C -75-16)
•Connect the IAT and PAIR control valve sensor couplers .
•Connect the IAP sensor coupler and vacuum hose .



I should say that I'm pretty handy in the garage when it comes to rebuilding LC's and I've done the odd ZZR engine strip but these FI bikes are far too confusing with all their electrickery!

So, should I be reconnecting the bits above and balancing the airbox in the way or am I missing something really obvious. Plus the rubber caps on the stubs for connecting the balancer to are chuffing stuck!

TIA.
