I have noticed that past few times that I have been out riding that it seems as though the right side of the engine is noticably hotter than the left side. I am wondering if this should be a concern? Overall the temperature sits right about where the think line starts on the gauge unless sitting in traffic on ahot day. Formerly Known as Ponyboy72. Currently riding an '81 CX500 Custom    Report

My inclination is that one side may be running leaner than the other. If you have a laser thermometer, take the temperature in three locations: 1) Right and left valve covers. 2) Right and left heads 3) Right and left exhaust downpipes at the head.
