Are you sure you don't have a separate wire from the controller to turn it on? It's been 3yr or so, but all of the YYK controllers I ordered samples of had a separate wire to turn them on, a pack voltage wire. Check with them directly if unsure and have all your controller label info handy in case you bought it from a 3rd party. My experience with them was always good customer service, though I couldn't talk directly with the tech guys as they supposedly didn't know english...Of course I was dealt with as a potential new customer needing 500 units/month quantities.
I personally don't like the idea of switching on via the throttle wiring unless a secondary hidden switch for extra security beyond the moto key switches I use on every bike. At a minimum it is a waste of energy with a 100-200ma drain, but mine if the controller is on, then so is the display, so the bike would appear to be on.
