Try taking a look at the starter and flywheel while attempting to start the engine. Does the small gear at the end of the starter move forward and engage the flywheel when you try to start the engine? Could it be stuck? The small gear must move forward to engage the flywheel. Keep your fingers away from the moving parts.
Try shorting across tha 2 large terminals on the solinoid and note if the starter motor runs, if so maybe you can open and clean the starter solinoid or else if it is press sealed you need to change it. If the starter motor does not run when shorted change the motor. Be carefull sparks will fly!
It's in the back of the engine a major pain if starter turns and doesn't engage that's even harder then you have a bad one way bearing they are around 300 bucks and you have to pull the back of the engine off to change it hope it just the starter
Have you checked the main fuse? Why did you change out the solenoid? If it was faulty then good enough reason, otherwise these bikes are finicky you need to replace with same type and same wiring. There is only a couple of types.
Try putting the old solenoid back in, if it isn't faulty and see if it starts.
