Hello- I'm a new owner of a 1974 cb750 four (my first road bike). I've ridden dirt bikes for several years and I recently took the MSF course. Upon picking up the bike, I found it difficult to take off from a stopped position without giving it at least 2500 rpms-- and even then the bike takes off so quick it's nearly impossible to slowly walk the bike. Without the use of the throttle, the bike does not move and the engine dies no matter how slowly I let the clutch out. In the MSF course we used little 250 nighthawks, and they were able to do this very easily.
I am wondering if this is common among cb750's / motorcycles in general? Or do I just suck at using a clutch?
