Won’t start
Anyone have an idea…my 2000 Harley road king classic..bike was dead on Tuesday I charged it and it started right up went and got on it yesterday and it started went for a 5 mins ride came out an hour later went to start it and it was dead tried jumping it and it would start but wouldn’t stay running after letting it charge again tried starting it and same thing wouldn’t stay running after 2 times my friend noticed gas was coming up where the air filter is so I took it off and gas was leaking out of the holes that open up behind the air filter when you turn your throttle my bike was shut off and I could hear what sounded like my fuel pump running after ab 2 mins the noise stopped and the gas stopped coming up I turned my ignition back on to see if my battery was dead and gas started coming out again so I turned it off and this time I could hear the fuel pump noise and it wouldn’t shut off and gas kept coming out I don’t know for how long I was there for about another 10 minutes and it was still coming out but I had to leave and go get a truck and a trailer so I don’t know how long it actually ran after I left

For the OP, do you know what type of fuel injection you have, Magneti Marelli system? May have to wait for some one with experience on the MM system.

Stop screwing around with jumper cables, if the battery is weak, find the problem.
You can`t troubleshoot an electrical issue until you know the battery is good, and load testing is the only way to know the condition of the battery.
Fully charge the battery, take it to an auto parts store and have it load tested.
Clean battery cable connection points.
Re install new or tested good fully charged battery.
Let us know the results.
And put some effort into composing your posts, your original post is indecipherable.
