Default New plugs still not running...

Just got new plugs in her today and she still won't crank even when trying starter fluid, what else should I check?

Edit: also a brand new battery

wont crank over at all? does your dash light up? if not could be the 30 amp main fuse by the battery. or your starter could be shot check to see if there is power to the starter

It cranks, and turns over fine but it won't run, it sounds like it tries every once in a while, but it won't fire on all cylinders, it backfires every couple tries but it won't run I guess this is what I get for buying a 900 dollar bike

Is it getting air and fuel? did you check that the plugs were all sparking before installing them?

air filter clean? carbs clean? gas fresh? petcock working?

I don't have the fuel tank hooked up, or the air filter on I'm misting gas in the carbs, and sprYing starter fluid but yet nothing, I'm going to test my coils when I get back home to make sure I'm getting spark

Make sure your pulse generator pickup is plugged in.

pulse generator sprocket is attached to the crankshaft on the right side of the bike. on that housing there is the hall-effect sensor that senses the teeth on that sprocket and sends that signal to the ignition controller. Make sure that sensor is plugged into the main harness - just find the wires and trace em back into the wiring harness to make sure the plugs are secure. Page 16-10 in the Honda manual.
