Okay to start this off by saying I cracked the head(not my head), I replaced the head(still not me head) and inspected the other surrounding parts and all seems to be fine(except me head). Then my master link decided to take a run for it before even having the bike warmed up.(literally didn't make it half a mile) But, I'm really curious to know one thing.
Before the head cracked(my real head is fine guys) I had was riding it a couple of miles no real long hard journey or anything and came home and parked it. Now i had not shut off the petcock when it was parked. When I came back to the bike the head was cracked. I removed the spark plug to find it rather wet. I left the spark plug off and gave the motor a good bump, Alot of gas mixture came spraying out and as i figured it would push the excess out.
The real question is this, has my head being cracked have anything to do with that motor filling up with fuel while still hot? I presume this is how it cracked due to the fact that i had no loss of power or drop in rpms during the ride before parking the bike. All informative information will be taken considerably helpful as to this being my first motor. My current odo reading is 897 miles.
