After you change the main relay check ignition fuse from your fuse box.

A jump box is nothing more then a battery with leads on it so where are you connecting it verses the new battery you put in the bike. that doesn't make since unless you are connecting the box right to the starter motor then it be constently running the motor untill you unhooked it. check all your fuses and examine all wire harnesses for damage, burns, or any mellting.

Only idle with choke on

Sounds like you have blocked or partially blocked pilot jets,
this can happen if bike has been sitting anf fuel has gone stale in bowls or contaminated fuel in tank.
hopefully bike if well serviced or could be caused by air leaks or even tight inlet valve clearance if bike has done a lot of miles

Bike pegs

There is a round clip under the peg that goes around the pin. Take a flathead screwdriver and pop the clip off. Then slide out the pin and there you go...make sure to go and get new clips. Dont reuse the old ones they will come off when riding.
