Its been my bike for....A month and a half. I've been riding for 3 weeks.

Are the exhaust pipes about the same temperature?...Are the valve clearances in spec? A compression test would show low pressure if they're not closing all the way when cold. Checking the clearances might be just as easy as the pressure test though.

Just got back from a ride about 30 minutes ago, both exhaust pipes seem to be the same temperature. How would I go about performing a compression test? Do I need any special tools for it?
EDIT: Just adding onto this, I rode it today to test because I wanted the seafoam to have a day or two to do something. It idles at 1.8-2K. I know idling high can drain more gas and cause overheating...But its 104 degrees today and it didn't overheat, was totally fine. I don't mind the slightly extra gas consumption. Other than those things Am I cool to leave it at around 1.8k?
