I have a KTM 350 and yesterday during a race I started losing antifreeze. I was unaware at the time, so I continued to race, but my bike suddenly shut-off near the end of the 30 minute race, and when I went to restart it would not. After letting it cool for about 5 minutes it started back up, and I rode it for another 5 minutes. When I finished the race, I noticed the red FI light was on and would not turn off until I shut the bike off.
At the time I did not realize the bike was low on antifreeze, or that it had overheated, but I've since repaired the issue, and the bike starts up normal and seems to run just fine. My question is, should I be concerned with any damage to the engine? or is it safe to continue to ride?

And like your bike once it cooled down it would start and sound fine even with the bad head gasket but obviously the engine was trashed.
