Cos your bike is still air-cooled to some extent and relies on the passage of air through it from front to rear. The rear will run hotter cos it gets less flow of air across it and what it does get comes from the front pre-heated due to passing over the rad and the front pot.

You will find that the old 4valvers can be mapped individually on each pot with an FIM chip.

There's a pretty good Q&A thread about his in here recently from some bloke based up north...do a search and I'm sure you'll find it.
