Hi Gaije, using that Tapatalk thingy does kinda sound like you are running out of oxygen and going to die immediately. Slow down dude and please explain what is occurring in real time

Hahaha, so I blew my engine a while back and I just put on a new engine I have everything wired up the way it should be then as soon as I connect my battery the starter just starts trying to start the engine without the keys even in the bike that's the first issue. Secondly I have no spark once so ever and lastly nothing else on the bike gets power like the lights

Welcome to the forum!

I know you said everything is hooked up "right," but it certainly seems as though something is not quite right.

As far as the cranking issue, that may be a solenoid that is stuck closed. We may need some more information to help with these issues.

As Folsoml said, something is obviously not connected up right. If you had connected everything correctly then this wouldn't be happening. The only thing that I have experienced that is even remotely similar to what you describe is when my starter button was stuck with grease and grime and when I turned the ignition on the starter engaged without me touching the button.
