If the fuel in the tank sat for more than six months, it separated and fouled a spark plug. Common problem for motorcycles that get stored in the wintertime. Replace ALL FUEL, use a CLEANING ADDITIVE with the first tank of new fuel, and REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS.

If you must store the motorcycle in cold months, EMPTY THE GAS TANK before storage, and put new fuel in when putting the bike back into use.

I have a 2006 cobalt 2.4 and I have some milky white substance on my dipstick. I'm also getting a knock at idle but only after 15 mins of hwy. Is this most likely a head gasket in need of replacement?

It is water mixing in oil, check if radiator has bubble and if it throws water when you start. If yes then its gasket if not than its cracks in any cylinder. hope its gasket...

You might need to get a transmission cooler. It keeps the transmission cool good for towing or pulling heavy trailers.

May have head gasket leak. If so will be loosing water, possibly quite slowly. At highway speeds cylinder pressure is higher and so gasket leak more likely. Means gasket damage or loose cylinder head. Can be checked by mechanic. (pressure test and cylinder head bolt tension test)
Less likely alternatives, the spark timing is too advanced or the fuel too poor.
