Default Wire harness

I think I jumbled up my wire harness putting it in and I'm a little confused my bike cranks over but it won't start I replaced like three coils and I'm thinking it might not be the coil but has anybody had this problem it just starts sometimes when it does want to start and it rides until it gets hot and when I stop it it don't want to start again I mean for sometimes weeks this time it's been down for 2 months and I need to get it back on the road urgently
Someone please help
By the way the issue I'm having is the new harness has a part of it going from the main battery area up towards the front and I know it should be holding my crank position sensor but the crank position sensor that's in my bike does not have this harness extension so I'm not really sure I haven't plugged into the right area

You want us to tell you whether you have the harness installed correctly, if it’s connected correctly and tell you why the bike is having issues starting?

You need to tell the whole story with as much detail as possible.

First, year and model of the bike. Then, why did you change the wiring harness? Again, be as detailed as possible.

Did you follow a wiring diagram?

Did you buy the right harness for your year of bike?

As in another thread we have someone who writes an essay but doesn't include any salient points.

With additional questioning yet to be answered at this juncture it is another waste of time and effort.

Ya don't need it plugged into the CPS. Get a Flux Capacitor and plug it into it. Gives 25 MORE HP and TQ AND 75mpg!!!!!

I tried a flux capacitor on my bike and I found the 25 extra HP was unusable until it got to around 85 mph, and running at those speeds, the 75 mpg claim is dubious at best.
