Do not open the head, please.
You will waste more money and time.
Can you live with #2 failing at low rpm's?
I could ......... and would keep riding.

This test will probably tell you that your #2 compression is less than ideal:

However; that becomes less important as rpm's increase, as you have seen, because there is less time to leak and compression improves.
Fixing that leak, whatever the cause, will be expensive.

The website of the above link will teach you much:

The crankshaft of your engine is a 180-degree:
Spark plug #1 fires - 180 degree rotation - spark plug #2 fires - 540 degrees additional rotation - Spark plug #1 fires again - ........ and so on
