TPS or Dirty Spark Plugs my guess - but I'm a simple wrencher without much experience.

The battery is definitely your first stop then.

Leave the TPS alone unless you really know what you are doing and have the right instructions/skill/tools. 50% of the people that screw with them (trying to resolve a totally unrelated problem) end up screwing them up royally. They are extremely sensitive.

I well tuned zx-12r (mine) will fire immediately even if its been sitting a while. If its cold out mine will fire and then stall after a few seconds and then fire up and stay running the second time. The A models are a little cold blooded but thats the nature of the beast.

put the battery on a nice over night trickle charge.. this should bring it back up and you'll be good to go..

Yep.

And I know you are from New York,so you'll want to be sure the completely discharged battery didn't get a chance to freeze. If it did, its junk. You'll know that because it won't hold a charge worth a shit after freezing.
