Bugger, that’s not a nice problem. Gunna be interesting to see where the issue is.
 
What the hell Q, I thought you did the slow run-in thing. I have had nipped-up valve guide issues a few times after rebuilds, slightly tight guide to valve stem clearances causing valves to seize and bend and lose seat seal. Obvasily easy to check with some fuel poured into the camber with the head upside down. Hope it's an easy cheap fix. It's a bit odd after so many ks including a track day though. No funny noises?
 
Real men ride Laverda ( or similar ) with a top box, nightmare with centre stand only Laverda.... have to be a bystander, for the mount and the most feared of all, dismount... nice piccies, did well my son..j

** Right hand cylinder on the Corsa maybe a not same as centre and or right fuelling.
 
Piece of cake for a young fella😎

Naught wrong with your Eagle eye John!
Yes blueing header hasn’t gone un noticed…..was running 10c hotter, and plug chop confirmed IMG_6982.jpegthat. Richened up a whisker now, but blueing now there to stay……also put down to chroming not being universal across three headers.
 
The weather is still shit here, heavy rain and gales. Yesterday’s VMCC Hangover Run was postponed because of the conditions, so lucky you lot that got a last ride in before 2024.
 
also put down to chroming not being universal across three headers.

Factored that before posting the sort of obvious, "young" Hooksey, grin... it was the degree and length of the bluing had me on the keyboard, mild straw to blue ( as on the centre header ) a given, RHS appeared in trouble waters if not fuel load....could not see the LHS... j
