I Noticed After Running My Bike, * Just Idling * That Only One Side Of The Engine Was HOt , And The Other Was A Tiny Bit Warm ,

Had A Panic , Then Chaged The Plug , Works Fine Now , Is There Any Damage Possable By The Fact, It Was Only Idling On One?

Thanks , *I researched , Couldnt FInd Anything *

Thanks

For how long ???
If not too much, prolly not at all.
BTW there was a sportster that the guy removed 1 cyl and blocked it off and did some other crap, but it vibrated like hell and ran anaemically, but it ran.
Cool.

Copied from other thread:

I wouldn't worry about it Jay, I rode my 02 GS home about 10 miles on one cylinder last time I lost a cylinder in the rain.  The real challange was a steep hill about 2 blocks long close to home.  I got a running start and gave it all it had and then revved it up slipping the clutch nearing the top to keep it going.  I'm too old to push it home.  The GS has a rugged little engine and it takes much abuse to injure it seriously
407,400 miles in 30 years for 13,580 miles/year average.  Started riding 7/21/84 and hung up helmet 8/31/14.
