Mine are the same S4 and 748 one is always hotter. The same for the 900 and 750SS's I had before that. I think it's a Ducati thing, as they all run/ran fine.

Thanks guys. I'm just not used to having a bike that starts on the button, doesn't need to be on a trickle charger after standing for more than 10 minutes, or ticks over without constantly feeling like it's about to stall.

Having a perfectly behaved Ducati is an entirely new proposition for me. I suppose I'll just need to get used to it

Mine used to be different one side to the other (can't remember which?), not so much since I changed the exhaust crossover for a more 'Spaghetti' style with a more direct flow but my 916 runs one side hotter/bit more pressure at idle which I put down to the pipe routing - rear cylinder pipe does a 'U' bend downwards to lengthen the pipe to about the same as the front.

So unless it's running much richer/leaner on one than the other then I think it all balances out fairly well at speed...
