bike is acting weird, i need some help asap
i have a 2001 zx6r. the bike runs great when it gets moving but when i start from a stop the power is like dead and then when the rpms get a little hogher then it is fine. but down low it has 0 power. i was on a slight incline today and i could not get the bike to move it would bog down and stall. anytime im on an incline it just wants to stall, even if im goign to slow and already moving. even in first gear. i was going up a hill today in first gear going at a decnt rpm and bogggg and stall and literally impossible to get going again and the hills here are not that steep. but like i said once i get moving it runs fine. .
when is start froma stop sometime ill get moving in first and go to give it a good ammount of throttle and it boggsss for a few seconds then it gets to a higher rpm then its fine. its really friggen weird and i dont understand if it normal for this bike to have no power down low what so ever. if you gusy think i might not know how to ride thats not the case cause i have been driving sportbikes for 6 years and i just bought this bike recentl and today is the first day i really got to go out and ride it but it just doesnt seem normal. if you know what im talkign about plese chime in and give me some oppionions or help cause i cant deal with this crap. i had a line of cars behine me cause i kept stalling everytime i would try to get it moving. it would start to move like normal then when the cluth is fully out and i wanna now start to give it throttle to actually get crusing it stalls as if it were running out of gas.

Probably water in the gas. Drain the carbs and add some Heet water remover. Since they started adding ethanol to the fuel, a lot of people are having similar problems with cars too. Ethanol attracts/ absorbs water/ moisture from the air and it all settles at the bottom of the tank and gets sucked in the fuel pump and into the carbs/ injectors. There is a great product for this called RXP. Try that. Also, check your air filter and make sure it's clean. Let me know.

I PM'd you. Drain the carbs with the screw at the very bottom of each float bowl a couple of ounces and re-tighten the screws.
