One pipe bluer than the other

My right exhaust pipe on my 2016 1200 RT is much more blued than the other - anyone else experienceing this? Bike runs fine.

Get a remote sensing thermometer and aim it at each pipe. Notice any difference in temperature. One cylinder is probably a bit leaner than the other. If the spark plugs both look good and the bike runs fine ignore it.

Remote sensing thermometers are available at Harbor Freight for not very much.

Same thing on my 2017 GS w 8k miles- right pipe more blue than left. The bike runs fine, but I keep thinking of the old days and carb tuning. Will have to check out HF for a heat reader.

I have one laying by my back door. I keep checking my wife's temperature when she returns from her "essential" job. She's not amused by it anymore
