i have a 96 fzr 600 i recently added too much oil and rode it 45 miles the next day the bike stalled on me and wouldnt start so i drained the oil and changed it adding the correct amount i also changed the spark plugs but the bike wont start it tries but wont stay running what could be the issue

Air filter may be full of oil.

Or airbox full of oil.

This means your new spark plugs are likely fouled.

air filter and air box are good and plugs double checked anything else that could be wrong maybe the carbs need cleaned?

Could be carbs, could be fuel pump, could be a number of things unrelated to the oil. Could be something you knocked loose while removing the fairings and changing the oil. First thing is first, does it have spark? Is it getting gas? Can you hear the fuel pump prime when you first turn on the key? Carb clean will usually fix 90% of problems with this bike, but rule out spark and other fuel issues first.

ive had the fairings off for about 6 months so i think im good there the fuel pump primes actually alot more than it did before the little mishap and it is getting spark and i appreciate your input its a horrible time to have troubles this close to summer and not to mention it is my only vehicle i was thinkin that my carbs needed cleaned actually that was my first thought
