Low end "jittery"

[Brandon81]

Hi,

Just bought a 2003 blaster about a week ago. The bike is totally stock. It pulls really strong when you are on the throttle mild to wide open but when I am just easing around it seems to be just a little "jittery". The engine kind of feels like it is "skipping". This is my first 2 stroke so I don't know if this is normal. I know these things are more at home when you are hard on the throttle so it may just be my inexperience. I hope to find someone else with a blaster to compare it to.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks,

Brandon

Ok let me rephrase that. I hope to find someone locally so I can ride their blaster and see if it feels the same.

Yeah I know. I just laughed when I went back and read my original post and thought "man that sounded stupid".

I did think about the carb but I wanted to see if this might be normal before I tore into the blaster I just bought. I have taken apart and cleaned the carb a few times on my honda so I think I may do this anyway just to know what kind of shape it is in. I am just so anxious to ride it I did not want to have any down time.I:I
