Default running poor at low Rpms

My beloved ZX6R had to go to the stealership today. One morning I went to start it and my finger slipped off the button. I waited then hit the button again and it sounded different like no spark. After 15 min of messing with I got it to start and now it stumbles off the line and cruising low rpms down the street. I read up in my factory shop manual and it looked like after a few routine checks like plugs etc..it leads to a lot of metering out rectumfiers and connectors etc...

So now (huh) I come to my kawi heads for opinions. Any ideas???

Not sure of the year . Fuel injected or Carbeurated ?
Will depend on the advice if fuel related.
Wires and Plugs are the first culprits but I always check the cheap stuff first

What did the dealership say? Or have you gotten the verdict yet?

My first thought is the switch is not working right and causing a voltage drop. check the battery voltage, check the outgoing voltage of your switch. Follow your sequence of operation and you will find it.
