Default Electrical problems. I replaced stater clutch and starter

Replaced starter clutch and starter, reconnected battery, now theres no pwer to ignition, no lights or power to any functions on handle bars. There is power to starter solenoid and starter. When i test ground from battery to frame my test light come on. New to quads seems like there is a ground issue. Any advise

If there were two leads going to starter, are you sure you connected them the right way round, negative lead to starter mounting bolt, positive lead from solenoid to starter "live" post. Did you connect the battery the right way round? Pos to solenoid. Finally, on most Yams, the solenoid needs to have the thick wires connected correctly M post to starter motor B post to battery.

There is only one wire to starter, its from starter solenoid. I have the red positive cable and black solenoid starter wire that goes to the front solenoid under front cover connected to positive battery post. The ground wire is connected to the negative battery post. When i check the starter solenoid the fuse on the starter side has no power, i checked the fuse and its good. I have power to starter.

As you don't say what Yam and I'm not familiar enough with them anyway, I don't understand what you mean by "black solenoid starter wire that goes to the front solenoid under front cover" however my point about the solenoid with the fuse on it stands, the solenoid needs to have the thick wires connected correctly, M post to starter motor B post to battery. the solenoid has M and B written on it.

Check for loose fuses in the areas around the solenoid maybe?

I found the problem, it was a ground wire issue, replaced the wire from battery to motor and frame. Thank you for the assistance.
