Finally was able to get the issue resolved. Was just this plug wired incorrectly. Works great now. Thanks for all the help!

Too cool. One thing I still don't understand is there is not a stop to prevent the throttle from turning the wrong direction? You guys with throttle with electric wire, can you turn the throttle clockwise?

Yes if you hold it forward it will engage the EITMS

I don’t know if the TBW goes via the Can Bus. But, if it does, then the issue has to be Between the throttle and the can bus cluster in the right grip. But, if the TBW is discreet...then 🤷‍♀️

It will also shut off your cruise control if you don't want to hit the brakes or pull the clutch.
