The fuel pump runs, but I am not sure its building pressure. I didn't pull any fuses. When I disconnected the fuel line it only leaked a drop or two which leads me to believe there is no pressure.

if the fuel pump starts and runs for a few seconds and turns off it is building pressure, also the fuel line when removed should only let out a couple of drops of gas...stupid question, is there gas in the bike???

No silly questions at this point. Yes, fuel in the tank, but a valid question.

Does anyone know if I could of reversed the leads that connect to the injectors? I mean can they even be hooked up wrong, some kind of tab on each one or something like that.

So the pump does run for a few seconds, then stop. Also after each start attempt, it runs again for a few seconds. But the plugs are dry, it won't run, and again, when I put gas directly in the cylinders, it fired right up

Yes you could do this as the injectors are the same front and rear so the connections are the same. On an '09 the front has a yellow wire with green stripe and a white wire with a yellow stripe. The rear has a yellow wire with green stripe and a green wire with a grey stripe. If the color code is different on your year model then just swap them and see what happens.
