Default Bike feels like it wants to die

All the way in today, bike felt like it was going to die...especially after a gear change or idle, twist the grip, nothing, then lurch, we're off...

switched to Res and checked the tank when i arrived at work, enough gas in there ....

any clues ZX6R G1 experts....?

Ive got lunch time to tinker , then trip home in rush hour like that will be stressful...

any helpers fancy having a look the bikes in a nice private car park in E1 - Whitechapel Rd

So did you get horribly killed?

That "nothing... WAAA" feeling is usually a lean thing, air leaks, split vacuum hoses, blocked jets etc.
