    Got back from a nice long ride yesterday and noticed that my right muffler is much hotter than the left, but the bike seems to be running OK?
    Any ideas?

    Causes could be many things including a blocked exhaust, a PGM-FI fault or something mechanical such as valve clearances, worn comshaft, worn valve train components etc. What you're looking for is something that would cause one or two cylinders to run lean.

    i have noticed on mine that i always get vapour out of the rh pipe when cold (has done for years) but i found this morning when i started mine after a couple of months off (i was doing valve clearances n repainting rad) while i left it idling the gas out of the left pipe was cold, even though there was plenty of pressure behind it. It seems odd because both pipes come from 1 collector box. Runs ok so i dont really care but its a teaser

    Congrats Spanners, you now own the first hydrogen-powered bike (way before Kawasaki!)
