If it got hot enough to shut down, the rubber plug in the head got Waaay toasty,,, Its a common problem, not caused by heat, but by people going in & torquing head bolts & , Ohh so foolishly following the book & not using gasket goo going back together,, At least, Im thinkiing thats what it says,,Ive never done it. Anyway, yea, check the oil, clean it up, if Digger says Desenex works, it works, The plug leak has made some newbies believe they had blown the head gasket. It can sure look like it, so, if you find oil up high, dont wig out, its probably just the plug. Easy, cheap fix & itll put you in a good spot to learn a few things about the bike. If you dont have a toolbox, Get one.
