Default Baffled

Hello I have a problem With a 2015 Roadglide,I re recently racked it todo some upgrades, I started by removing the baffles from a V/H full exhaust, to run s open system at times, I also put in some new led headlights plug n’play...recently added a poker chip to the out side of the grip housing? Never took the stock grips off! When I got the baffled out we wanted to hear it so I tried to fire it up on the jack, tires off the ground,it started for maybe 3 seconds then shuts off, so I try again this time there’s nothing when I hit the run button, until I turn the ignition off then back on it will start for 2 or 3 seconds then die, in those 2 or 3 seconds I’m throttling or trying to throttle the bike and I get zero response out in the throttle grip! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

I have an older bike which doesn’t have it, but does yours posssibly have a kickstand sensor which doesn’t allow starting when it’s down? I’m assuming if it’s on a jack it may be down. My FZ1 is like this. Just a thought.

edieted to add the FZ won’t start with kick stand down without weight of bike on it.

The bike ran fine, turns out it's probably the twist grip sensor
