noob 748R Q\'s

Guys, excuse the beginner questions but after a few miles on the 748R I feel I must ask thee:

1. I have an STM slipper clutch, newish, and it is impossible to pull away with any degree of finesse and a quick or hill start is radically embarrassing Mega snatchy, slip and grab even at slow speed on the flat. I assume from reading that this is normal but thought I'd check with the experts.

2. It's impossible to go slow (as if I'd want to) but seriously, 30 mph is a challenge and below that is a skill I have yet to develop (makes for a heroic display in town traffic, and a noisy one too). Below 4000rpm she is not happy. I understand it's the nature of the beast but having no previous experience I wanted to make sure I wasn't riding around enjoying, in my ignorance, some kind of problem.

Thanks all.

Nate
