·I just took ownership of a (new) 2002 Monster 750. This is my first motorcycle and I selected it based largely on what I read about Monsters on this board (both the good and the not so good). I'm very pleased with the purchase and appreciate the good information that you all have provided.
I'm in the midst of completing the MSF course (driving test this Sunday) and have taken my Monster out for a few practice runs in the neighborhood (suburban side streets through hilly developments). After a few of these (hour-long) rides, which consisted of a fair amount of shifting and cornering (but no hard accelerating - got to keep those rpm's within reason) I return home. If I take a short break and then try to ride again I find it very difficult to ease into first gear and frequently stall. Is this typical for a brand new cycle and brand new rider? Any tips on how to get going more smoothly? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
