Hi everyone a bit of advice needed on my beloved R6. I was takin my r6 to the m.o.t centre last week had been riding about 5 miles when I lost power had to drop down the gears to keep the power on and everytime I opened the throttle she was very sluggish and then started backfiring I came to the bottom of the road and she just died on me I pushed the starter button and had to keep the revs up as she wouldn't run idle she just kept cutting out. She had been sitting over the winter with a little petrol in her but just when I left home I needed petrol and filled her up she ran perfectly for approx 5 miles then the problems started even now she starts up fine and runs idle for a minute or two then you can hear the sluggishness started and eventually dies. Any help would be appreciated as I miss goin for a run on her and now need an mot im not a mechanic so don't know too much about them.
