Strange Brooks B17 problem

Hi guys,

Got a B 17 a 10 days ago for my new stock LHT. It really was pretty comfy from the start but in the last 3 rides I have noticed that the left side is really painful for the first 6-7km. After that, the pain disappears and its a wonderful saddle for even a 5 hour ride.

I then noticed that the saddle has a slight left side up tilt, and this does not seem correctable with the existing Kalloy seatpost. The seatpost clamp seems pretty lousy for any adjustments anyway. Is it known to be a bad seat post?

Do you think this left side higher than the right is a seat post issue? Or is it that the Brooks is breaking in to this shape [with a tilt]?

I have done about 900 km on it till date.
