I have just purchased a 750m, love it........
But the clutch slips a little, can this be adjusted anyone?
Also need a detachable top box for wifey's back...... recommendations?

Ken,
No adjustment i'm afraid.
If you have an adjustable lever check the span is large enough to disengage the clutch correctly.
Check that the free play in the lever is not to much (the little adjuster screw in the lever that pushes the cylinder).
Bleed the system again.

Incorrect grade oil is an outside possiblity but doubtful.
Finally clutch plates are U/S.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a go.
Fingers crossed..........

If you are using full synthetic oil - drain and replace with semi synth ASAP

Full synthetic oil has additives which can cause slip on wet clutch monsters
