the other day i was out riding and i could tell my valves weren't set right and wtv i still rode a bit and all of a sudden my bike just stops and i'm hearing this loud clicking sound coming from the head and so i thaugh i hade broken a valve or sumthing. then yesterday i opened the top end up and theres nothing wrong but my valves were a little off set then i got kinda confused and i started thinking and i was wondering could it be my spark plug that just let go??

Take the plug out... If the bike stopped running altogether, something inside came loose. Could be a chunk of piston or the ground strip on the spark plug.

If the plug has little nicks in it, or (obviously) if the ground strip is gone, you gotta tear it down and rebuild with a new piston and rebore.
