Default 07/08 ZX6R Need QUICK help please

I double-posted this because I need time-sensitive help....

So the entire tail of my bike is off in my apartment hallway. I've had driveability problems ever since bypassing the exhaust valve cabling (I left the actuator connected, but paperclipped the valve fully open and removed the cables.)....so I tried to put it all back to stock earlier, after 2 months of riding like this, but on the test-ride the first time I went WOT, it had NO power past 7k and beyond 10k it threw the FI indicator. Upshifted as soon as I noticed and babied it home, bike never saw past 12500.

I have a few questions that I need answers to ASAP, because I need to ride the bike to work in 8 hours. Question 1 is what I really want to know right away.....all the questions under #2 arent vital since I can leave the valve bypassed and bolt the seat on w/o the tail and ride it if I have to. ANYTHING you guys can contribute will help.. THANK YOU in advance!
---------------------
1) I tripped the F.I. light on the test-ride. After getting it back home, I cycled the key and verified the valve actuator is working. I touched NOTHING ELECTRICAL....but the bike is making a VERY STRANGE noise now from underneath the seat, during the time where the fuel system primes. Only when I turn the key from Off to Run. It's NEVER made this noise before ever in 2500 miles, and it sounds more like an electronic CPU noise than something from the fuel pump. Is this some kind of indicator noise that there's an FI code in memory, since the FI light hasn't come on since the key was cycled?


2) I need either an up-close picture/diagram of the exhaust butterfly and cable hookup, at the exhaust-end, or these questions answered:

-The valve cables are staggered lengths, and on the cable sheaths, one is black at both ends and the other is metal-finish. UNDER the tail, which one sits forward and which one is closer to the rear?

-On that same rotator on the exhaust-side.....looking UP, it rotates counter-clockwise from closed to open. So when it's rotated clockwise as far as possible, the stop it's against is fully-closed. With the bike started and idling (doesnt have to be warmed).....is the exhaust valve rotator in the fully-closed position, against that stop?
