Hooking those cable up to a running vehicle or a charger can wreck the bike's electrical system. Hooking them up to a battery shouldn't do damage as long as the other vehicle is not running

Depends. If one of the batteries is significantly discharged, the strong one will send a huge current when you connect the cables. ESPECIALLY if one battery is bigger than the other like car battery versus bike battery. If one of the batteries has a shorted cell or some other problem, the current surge will be massive. Can be very dangerous.

This original quote:

when i have jumper cables on my bike it stays running but as soon as i take the cables off it just dies and i do have a new battery

tells me the "new" battery is bad or so severely discharged it can't support minimal current drain.

Hate to see a body like that get ground off. The scars stay for life.
