As for the no start it cranks it just doesnt want to crank to the point where it starts
Did you try to restart it while it was hot or cold? It would be normal for an overheated engine to not start.

Start with oil check first, no sense in even turning on the key and going any further until that is ensured. Also, just topping off the radiator will only get you by. You really should bleed any remaining air out of the system. To do this, you will have to get the bike running long enough so the thermostat opens, then blip the throttle a few times. Just leave the cap off and refill as needed but keeping it full throughout this process makes life a bit easier.
