You can ride without the switch plugged in. The only draw back is that your engine could backfire when you decelerate and you may lose a bit of engine brake.
Few riders on this site have permanently disconnected this switch.

You have to remove the part of the fairing to remove the tank.

Check this

AFAIK it shouldn`t be necessary to remove the tank, to change the throttle position switch?

This is true that the switch has the plug with the &%%$#@! retaining wire on it.

Push on the center of the wire, and the ends should open above the locking tabs.
