Once properly warmed up, if that cylinder's header is only warm, then it's not firing properly plain and simple. Which of course, could be any number of things...lack of fuel, intermittent spark, too much fuel, etc. First, as others have mentioned, check the valve clearances. Instead of waiting on the tool, just use the zip-ty method (check basscliff's site). Once those are set properly, then you can begin checking things for proper operation.1982 GS550M Rebuilt Winter '12 - 550 to 673cc engine conversion.

1A) (NEW) Trying to diagnose running problems on a bike with an unknown maintenance history. Common maintenance items like clean carbs, properly adjusted valves, no air leaks in the intake system (airbox, carb boots), a clean gas tank (no rust), and a properly functioning petcock are 100% mandatory for the bike to run properly.Ed
