82 850g

Oil was just changed, carbs dont leak. So I dont think theres any gas in there. Normally I would think it was the water or just a random event but its only out of cylinder one.

Engine only has round 25k on it which is why I was so skeptical about it being the rings. Unless it had a hard as **** life before me.

25K might be factory fresh for a car engine but for a bike it could easily need rings, especially if it was idled in traffic for long periods, or oil was bad on it. The best thing to do is take a compression test on the engine when hot.

Would a leaky head gasket cause this same problem?

A compression check will tell you if the gasket is questionable
