I just bought an 2003 R6. When I try to take off from a traffic light it feels like the bike has little power until I pass around 3k rpm then it takes off fast.
Does any one know what the problem could be?

Sportbikes don;t make any real power until 7k rpms. But hold on tight as they rev like a dickens from 7k to 16k rpms.
