If you're asking for help with a problem, that really isn't much information to work with. It's kinda like you're saying, "My motorcycle is broke; what's wrong with it?".

it's got really good compression it feels like it's got way too much I put all my body weight on the Kickstarter and it just moves feels almost like something tight in the motor

I've pulled the bike down again everything seems to be good when I turn it over with socket it turns like it should when I put the plug in everything back in it and then try to kick it I can just get the Kickstarter to move. Any help would be great as I'm starting to lose my hair and I'm going to end up burning this thing

So, if you pull out the spark plug and turn the engine over slowly using the kickstarter, does it turn over smoothly? No problem with valves hitting the top of the piston? If so, do a compression check to see how much pressure you're building. Did you replace the piston with an OEM replacement? You didn't leave out a base gasket between the cylinder and the case, did you? Did you replace the gaskets with OEM gaskets or at least ones that are OEM spec? Are the camshafts properly timed and valves adjusted correctly? Is the piston installed backward (180 degrees out)?

Even with plug out it is still way to hard everything else fine

As you reassembled, at which point did it not turn over normally?
Once the clutch cover was installed? Sounds like a kickstarter engagement.
Does the transmission turn freely in neutral?
Can you push the bike in gear with the clutch pulled in?
