I was at the park today and for the entire day they were only running one train on the Cyclone. Even when the line was all the way out to the entrance. Is there a problem with the second train or did they just not want to take the time to get the other train out and cycle it in?

It is common to run with just one train on a weekday. Most days start with one train and then when the lines get out of control, the workers can ask for the second train to be put on the track. It may simply be that the workers didn't ask for the train (or know to ask as usually it is the supervisor's duty to do that).

That's what I found really odd about it. Everything else was running two trains, Afterburn had little or no lines, same with Hurler. The only coaster in the park running only one train was Cyclone.

Could have been removed for some repair work, but there are days that the park is projected to be slower and they plan on the number of trains in advance. Although, I do remember going down on July 4th (will NEVER do that AGAIN), and the cyclone was running one train for most of the day becuase the 2nd train was out of operation. I was told by the guy working the gates that: "one of the trains did not perform to set regulations during testing, so the problem must be fixed before operation is allowed". You want to talk about a LOOOOOONG and SLOOOOOOOOOOW moving line...it was CRAZY!!!!

I haven't. The only time I have ever experienced a greyout was on i305.

I sometimes grey out on the second loop of this ride and also on the first loop of Afterburn. Not sure why it doesn't happen all the time when I sit in the same spot...

Nope, not on Cyclone. The only things I remember greying out on is Afterburn when it pulls out of the batwing, and on Goliath @ sfog through the helix.
