What a Weapon

Just got the 749 Bip run-in (1500miles). This bike is an absolute weapon on a twisty road, and it loves to wheelie, I find it comfortable for touring as well. The only fault I've got is with the tickover, it doesn't seem to stay adjusted to what I want for more than a few seconds before ticking over so low that it sometimes stalls. This is dangerous and if I can't get it sorted next summer the bike will be going as I can't tollerate bullshit engine management. In the meantime I'll thrash the absolute nuts off it to get my moneys worth time it's still under waranty. At the end of the day its just another bike purchased for its performance so I won't treat it any different to a jap bike.
I hope the tickover problem can be sorted, (the shop told me the day I got it that it wasn't adjustable) as I'll be sad to see it go.
