749 Clutch Advice

Discussion in '749 / 999' started by Simon Peck, Jan 27, 2015.

  1. Hi New to the forum so need a bit of advice.
    Bought a mint 749r from a gent off here. Only passed my test last week and today took it for a little ride up the street (it was dry and as I'm not riding until the sun shines, it felt only right that i at least got it moving forward with me on it).
    The clutch was really grabby and after stalling 4 times i eventually got forward motion but then i stalled when at low revs. I had warmed it up but is this normal??
    I took my test on a GSXR650 and they taught me to use the clutch excessively but on the 749r it doesn't seam possible. is it just an experience thing that i am going to have to get used to and master or does it need some attention.
    The bikes an 05 with 1800 miles so practically brand new.
    Any advice or comments welcome

  12. Welcome

    I see you've lost your way

    You'll fit in perfectly -

    Get someone who rides to check it out - it may not just 'be you '. But it probably is Ducati clutches can be crap :)
