im thinking you had some kind of coolant leak through the loose bolt holes? Tighten them up and change the oil and coolant and see if it happens again.

on gt thunders webpage:

Warning:

On all 2006 YFZ450 engines that I have checked - There are 2 bolts loose in the engine. They are located in the left case cover behind the starter idler gear. Below is a photo of 2 bolts just like I found them - to fix this you need to remove the 2 bolts holding the starter idler cover on, remove the cover and idler gear. You then need to torque those bolts to 85 inch lbs.
