Ed, it sounds like yours needs a bit of attention, the stalling shouldn't happen (mine did it too until I found a decent dealer) and the clutch bleeding sounds like a right pain in the nads!

The only problem I've ever had was with a loosely fitted sidestand and with the stalling problem until MotoRapido set it up properly. I love the 749 but a recent track visit confirmed that it's made for the track, not much has been compromised for the road and as a result it can be pretty uncomfortable. You get used to it and learn to avoid long periods of slow traffic.

I've never MOT'd a bike before but I will this one, there's nothing I want more than this.
