Hello,
This is my first time owning an ATV personally. Growing up I had a dirtbike and a 350 Rancher atv, but my father did most of the maintenance on them. I've never had a 2-stroke ATV before and noticed some noise coming from the engine and would love if anyone had an idea if it is piston slap or if it just the normal sound of a blaster.
It is a 2001 Yamaha Blaster with all stock except foam air filter and oil block off kit. My knowledge of anything mechanic is pretty basic but I have pretty good at picking things up. If the problem is isolated, I'm sure I will be able to fix it.
I've included a video:

Here is a better video
The ATV started up weird today too. The high revving at the end then it shut off. I checked the choke and it was out all of the way so I don't know why it did that.
