Uneven Blueing

[snag]

I've got one pipe that has blued materially more than the other. The first words out of my diesel mechanic bud when he saw the bike was "you've got one cylinder running hotter than the other." Makes sense; comments?

The bikes are in the barn, the batteries are on tenders, 5 months to go, does anyone know of a boxer sled?

I'd tend to agree with your mechanic friend. I'd be checking the valve adjustment as a first step.. then the TB balance.

I think Don is spot on with one caveate; if you let the bike idel to long in a warm-up you may get one side hotter than the other. I believe the left side will heat up before the right. I'm guessing if you don't warm the bike for very long, i.e. < a minute, Don's got your answer.

It's typically start and ride with little warm up. Will check both valves and throttle bodies in the spring.

Thanks.
