Durgam, Mine acts the same way ---- sorta. I can start it and let it idle for 10 minutes and the only cylinder that has a noticeably hotter pipe is the center. I mean at least 100 degrees difference. But if I ride it like I stole it, all balances out in no time at all. As soon as I put it under a load, she runs like a top.
I finally quit worrying about it and just ride her. How sweet it is ------------------------------.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

yeah. I think mine is the same way. Ive got some carb tuning to sort out this winter, but all in all, it runs real nice once all warmed up and hammered through the gears a couple times.
