For Ghosty / Kev / anyone DD Mechanic. question

Fired up the DD bike today first time from Mallory. Not sounding right somehow?
I let it warm up then with a wet finger if I touch the rear pipe where it exits the head it is hiss the wet hot. ( you know what I mean )
Now if I touch the Front pipe where it exits the head, well its hot but not enough that it could burn my finger or make the wet on my finger hiss.
Should'nt that be burning hot as well ?

If I remove the front spark plug cap and start it it will tick over fine no revs( all be it on one cylinder ) If I put the front one back in and remove the rear spark cap it will not start unless I give it a little throttle and not tick over on idle but will run on a little throttle ok.

Any clues please or is this all just normal ?
As I say it starts ok and ticks over ok and revs all the way up without any misfires or anything.

Thx

Craig
