My 09 does this too....super annoying. When warmed, she fires right up. My battery is brand new and is not the issue. Seems these bikes just take forever to crank over when cold...and when they do, they don't even cold choke! She limps up to 1500rpm and stays there

Bike just doesn't feel "strong" when cold starting...feels like it's limping along from a long nap. My 08 CBR RR would fire up like a bat out of hell and cold choke itself 2000rpm until it was happy and warmed...not this R6
