Well trimmed the HT leads and nothing, did a TPS check and it was 5k, so looks like no issues there.
Did though have a bit of a brainwave moment - checked the downpipes, and no3 was significantly slower in warming up than the others, the others were all roughly the same temp at the same time, but no3 was quite a bit cooler. Methinks therefore that the issue must lie somewhere with that cylinder, so as soon as the bike cools back down again I'm going to try swapping spark plugs to see if that moves the problem. if that doesn't move the problem, I'll try swapping the ht leads to see if that moves the problem. if that doesn't move the problem, then I think that I've only really got two possible suspects - either I've got something up with my carbs, or possibly the block connector thing that the ht lead comes out of (what's that called?) is a bit dead on that one cylinder!
