I was being a wee bit sarcastic. Sorry. Old Habit.
Given the way these engines & accessories are designed, it is pretty much dictated by the space available and I guess the extra power wasn't needed in the R6.
My arthritic hands need electric heat and I'll be selling my FZ-6 this fall for one reason.... the alternator doesn't deliver the amps to keep my old arthritic body comfortable in cooler driving conditions. I went out today (about 53 degrees) and needed both the heated grips and the gloves. Yes, I am a wimp but it's not my personal choice. It's the cards I've been dealt and I refuse to sit at home when I can work a solution... in this case my FZ6 disappoints. But it's the only one!
