So I put the new battery in, and it cranked right up. Took it down the road for a test ride and it has died again while I was riding. Have heard it might be a fuel system issue bc it sounds like it is not getting any fuel while I'm trying to crank it. I'll wait ten min and it will start for literally a second and stop again.

Just an update, not that anyone asked for one. I searched around for a while on this site and asked several people in the know about bikes. I started my bike cold, and took a hair dryer to my ignition module and it cut out in about 3 minutes, or once it got hot much like it did when I was out riding and wouldnt start back. So after replacing plugs, wires, and coil pack I wish I had done this first and I would have saved a little bit of money. Ordered parts online and got a decent deal so I will let everyone know how it works out, appreciate every ones input.
