I'm not clear on exactly what you are saying here: "I tested the red/blue wire with the ground wire that runs into the relay". You had the red probe on the Red/bLue wire and on a ground wire, but what ground wire. There is no ground wire, as such, going to the relay that I see on the wiring diagram. The Red/bLue wire gets pulled to ground by the ECU when the ignition switch is on. Hence you should not be seeing 12V there.
But no matter, you are seeing 12V there and it should be at ground potential. The ECU is not pulling it to ground and logically the only reason they have the ECU involved is to kill the fuel pump when the rig is upside down. So, I believe that the fault lies the lean angle sensor.
If you launch a diagnostic run on the ECU through the digital dash, you may be able to reset it. This is way above my knowledge as to how to do it. here is the page out of the manual. I hate these "one button computers", worse than an Apple tablet!
Location of the Lean angle sensor per Yamaha's Wonderful diagraming. I'm guessing somewhere near, or in, the battery box? The picture is good for recognizing it after you find it....
If the lean angle switch is bad, here are some snips out of long forgotten sources as to the details on what should be happening and ways of "locking" the switch. I believe that I have an easier way to defeat it, see the last comment down at the bottom.

These bike have these safety features for the inexperienced riders IMO!
In my 20+ years of riding, The rollovers i have seen were mostly by experienced riders. Flying through unknown terrain and hitting a rock, taking on questionable hills etc.
As far as flipping the kill switch at that fraction of a second that you have to react. all i can say is good luck.
Not only is the sensor a safety factor, it also protects the engine from running without oil while upside down or on its side.

There's already a means to kill the engine on the left and right side of the quad. The kill switch and the ignition key. For a lot of us, that's enough. Also as Ole Nasty pointed out; removing a potential liability and one that would be very hard to diagnose on the trail gives us some peace of mind.
How is it a liability and hard to diagnose?
The sensor has three wires.
1-5 volt reference from ECM.
2-Signal return to ECM
3-Ground
AS long as the ECM sees more than 3.5 volts., the engine will run.
when tipped beyond 65 degrees the voltage is pulled down. Anything below 1.35 volts will shut down the engine.
For diagnosis and temporary fix, just disconnect and jumper the 5 volt and signal return. it will get you back on the trail until you can make the repair.
Do what you wish.
I am pointing out that my safety and the cost of major engine repairs are critical to me.
I want to mention that Carbureted engines will most likely shut down themselves pretty quickly.
I found this on a grizzly site authored by (overhill,Feb 13,2015)
Some riders will fill the sensor with glue to defeat the safety feature and others have the modified the switch it self.
If the reset fails, or whatever, and you do not mind over-riding the dubious safety feature: Cut the Red/bLue wire and tie a wire from the relay side end of the wire to ground. This will make the relay work no matter what the ECU is thinking.
