Needed More Power

Well, after a couple of days of stop and go traffic, both headlights on, alarm on all day, and a modulating brake light, my FZ6 died on an incline (didn't give here enought throttle) in HEAVY TRAFFIC. Lucky for me there was a drive way just behind me. I backed in and up the drive way (it had a nice slope), knowing what I had to do. Almost dropped it twice due to sand and my feet giving way. I put her in second, released the brake, and released the clutch and she came back to life.

Gotta make sure I plug in my battery tender when I have days like that.

Curious as to what you have your idle speed set to.....

Idle speed is factory standard 1250–1350 r/min.

Yep- gotta watch it, those little hamsters can't run very fast to generate extra juice.
