Default Advice needed, how do I do a compression

I have an 08 ultra, with throttle by wire, how do I get the throttle to open so I can do a cylinder compression test? It will not open if the bike is not running.
Thanks...

hold throttle at max and insert index finger on throttle plate and open. Have opposite spark plug in while doing.

I tried pushing the throttle butterfly open while the ignition switch was on, kill button on run, and the grip at full throttle,and it (butterfly) seemed to not move... do I need to push harder?
