RapidBike Install problem

Hi All,
I installed a RapidBike tuner on my 2014 Hypermotard and after days of fiddling with the massive wiring harness to get it tucked in ok, I hooked up the gas tank and it started pissing fuel everywhere. It seems the injectors are constantly on even with the key off. I didn't force anything and don't believe any wires are shorted. Anyone run into this sort of thing?
Rapidbike isn't answering their phone. Maybe they're closed Mondays? I emailed with no response.
 
Also installed a new throttle assy and haven't set it w the computer. Don't think that would be an issue, esp w the ignition off.
 
Yikes, bro. That's a first on this forum. I'd maybe check the fuel pump integrity, which is inside that black compartment under the rear cowl and in front of the rear shock reservoir. I only say this because that thing was always a ***** to accordion back into the cover...I literally spent days trying to get it back in properly so the nuts would bite. If you're hearing the fuel pump prime and cycle, that's an electrical/ ECU issue. I'm not sure if the normal quick whir I hear after turning the key is the pump priming, and I deleted the exhaust servo entirely (so I don't get that mechanical swing after ON).

You can also search my handle and Rapid Bike install. I had issues, but not like this.
 
I figured it out- I had hooked the ground wire to the battery positive terminal. I hope I haven't damaged it.
It turned over once, but now won't. I think the cylinder is full of fuel. Battery is low too.
 
Got it going again. Dumped a bunch of fuel out the exhaust joints. But starts now. Have to ride it and see if this RabidBike helps.

Where did you you tuck in all those optional connectors - quickshifter, Canbus, etc?
 
I'm really excited to install my quickshifter, so I wouldn't have done that. Better get good at fung shui those cords under the seat. Lights, Servo deletes, Heated gear...all have a new bundle to tuck under there.

Hope it works. Always check your work before you torque those bolts or button those fairings.
