Default Roadglide starts, dies, starts back up and is fine...?

OK...2013 Roadglide Custom, Stage 1 with FP3, 11K miles. I noticed over the past couple of days that when I start my RG (whether from a cold start or while out riding after stopping), the bike turns over fine, starts up...and then immediately dies. I crank her right back up...and she is perfect from there on. Doesn't die when riding, no misses, etc. Just happened recently when starting the bike and has done it 4-5 times. After starting bike, it dying, and then re-starting...it doesn't miss a beat.

I have not changed any of the tune on the FP3, and until this weekend bike has been running flawlessly...no changes made at all.

Any ideas what might be causing the immediate dying after startup, and then all is fine as soon as I restart it?

Have you checked the bike or the FP3 to see if it has thrown any codes?

Do you have to turn off and on the ignition switch to get it start again or do you just hit the start/kill switch?

No...do not have to turn off the ignition...just hit "start" button and it cranks right back up and is just fine.

Well, this is a head-scratcher and one that is really hard to diagnose. I've read about the bank angle sensors causing this. I've read about the ignition switch and the run/kill switch causing this from a possible bad connection or pinched wire. In addition, I've read the tuner could be the problem. Hopefully, someone who has had this happen to their bike will chime in soon.
