For this being my first motor being put together like this its pretty easy, I love these little motors, they're so simple! And cheap to maintain!

Also what kind of oil should I put in this bike for a first start? And is it safe to use rtv on the gasket surfaces along with the gaskets?

Im probably going to be asking a lot of questions about this motor.

The armature must be toasted. I assume you hooked it up to power and now it doesn't spin. A wire might be broken deep in the windings. Did you try turning the engine over by hand at the fan?
A good 10W-40 is just fine for an oil.
I wouldn't use RTV in a place where the engine will get hot and it will be exposed to oil. The gaskets should work fine all by themselves.
