749, really just doesn't quite run right.

Been firing up the 749.

It's a tricky tricky bugger to start. Try any fast idle or touch the throttle and it dies instantly.

Read a thread on starting them and states "don't use fast idle until it starts".

Literally i have to wait until it's ALMOST there just fractionally before it's ready to die and touch the idle on a tad.

Once started it will not really tickover until over 50 deg on the display. When you rev it, it doesn't exactly sound crisp and nice, over about 4000rpm it seems a little better. But also can just cut out when revved and then allowing the rpm to drop completely.

Bike is running a cored set of cans and Akra ECU. Debating swapping the ECU out for standard just to see... Any thoughts ?

Both headers seem good and system is blowing warm from both exhaust outlets.

Sadly due to having a bent gear lever i can't take it for a test ride.

Thoughts appreciated
