Running on one cylinder?

one side of my banshee was heating up more than the other side..? one of the pipes was really hot and other one was not hot at all.. could it be cause one of the spark plugs is bad? its also leaking anti-freeze where it connects to the head could that have something to do with it?

First Pull the plugs and look at them... If one is melted then you have a melted piston. If not then a Compression test in need here. If you dont have one then you can see if you have a blown head gasket. Pull the radiator cap; and with a flashlight, start the bike and look over to the return side of the radiator as much as you can and see if you can see bubbles coming out of the fluid. If so then you have a F'ed up head gasket.

Could it be that the head isn't sequenced and torqued right? Also the radiator hose was leaking...the pistons aren't shot there in good condition

Well if you think they are ok then. The next thing would to do is a compression test. I have had a stock head gasket leak on me where it was leaking into the coolant. And in turn got worse and wouldnt run right because of lack of compression. If it none of them then switch the spark plug boots around and see if the other side will start to run.
