I was thinking of painting my engine on my gs1100 black. Flex Seal is black and it would probably seal on leaks too! Has only tried this? Is this a dumb idea?

Why? If you want to paint it take the time and do it right. It will look better and last longer.
I don't know if the flex seal would stand up to the heat either.
And if you're having leaks fix them properly! It will be better for your bike in the long Run
Quick and cheap is not that on these bikes, I've tried a few quick and cheap methods and it ended up being money and time thrown away.

Please tell me that you are kidding.
ray:As Slycox has mentioned, it probably won't stand up to the heat. In fact, it will probably insulate the engine and help hold heat IN the engine that is trying to escape.
If you have leaks, replace the appropriate gaskets.
If you want a black engine you can use any of the VHT black paints.
Personally, I use caliper paint, as it is epoxy-based and stands up very well.

fix the root cause of the problem

Not a good idea at all! As stated above, it will not hold up and will keep the heat in. These are air cooled engines and need air to across the fins and dissipate heat in order to maintain temp.
Hope this offends you.....If your that lazy and utterly stupid then sell the bike and dont get another.
