Well I need to wait for the bike to cool back down, but it appears that I may have a duff coil! Swapped the plugs from cylinder 1 and 3, turned it on and it made no difference, cylinder 3 was still noticably cooler than the rest. However what I hadn't noticed was that cylinder 4, whilst not cold, was still cooler than 1 and 2! Going to wait for the bike to cool and then I'll swap the coils and leads over to see if that makes a difference, but I suspect that I've probably got a duff coil! That being the case, rather than buy another one I'll probably just make a loom up to fit stick coils instead!
