I commute to work 3/5 days during riding season from Burlington to Mississauga (80km round trip). I know that 600cc's like to be rev'd high as that's what they were made to do.
My question is, with sitting in stop and go traffic (can take up to an hour some days when I decide to be a good boy and not sneak in the HOV lane), does this put any strain/stress on the bike? I can see it being hard on the charging system...but other than that, is the bike not liking those riding conditions? The zx6r runs pretty cool (even on warm summer days) and the fan only goes of if I'm not moving/moving slowly for a couple minutes. I've had it stall out on me in cold conditions while in stop and go traffic/rolling to a stop (maybe because of the dense air+no movement).
Not too concerned by any means, but I thought I'd just throw the question out there.
