Ok so I hooked the jumper pack and my bike started on both cylinders after I realized both spark plugs were loose. It is running ok with the jumper pack on it. Its got a back fire with a quick blurp of the throttle but I think that's because it was getting hot. As soon as I disconnect the jumper pack it starts to stumble then stall. Any ideas before I go grab a new battery I think it is still the original on for 08.

Gotta replace the battery to correctly diagnose further in my opinion.

If sounds like the battery is stone dead. You now have to find out why. It could be finished and needs replacing but you rarely have a battery fail so bad that the charging system on the bike can't keep the bike running.
Charge the battery (if it will take a charge), record the voltage, then start the bike and see if the voltage increases or drops off. Sure does sound like the bike isn't charging.
One other thing, you said the bike runs well with a jumper battery. Hook it up and record the voltage before you start the bike and after. If the voltage goes up, you need a new battery.

I put the battery on charge and it seems to be holding for now
