I have the same bike and I run West Cost T-Bars(non-MXT). I did not have any issues. Maybe it's the bars?

Ya, the bar is from an older run of mxtbars that were not made for fly by wire, hence no end notches, and small holes for wiring.

The newer WC bars are notched for TBW and honed so the twist grip sensor will fit. That is probably an older set.
