The last post in the thread on the right side running hotter than the left that zrx1100 linked to in his post #23 is very interesting. It seems these only run hotter on the right side when idling at a stop. Running down the road, the temps are the same. This post is from mrriggs, a very knowledgeable and well respected member around here, so I have no reason to doubt him. He introduced us to the UNI pods and the Kawasaki 500 carb conversion, among other things. He hasn't posted for several years, I wonder what happened to him?
