I have a 2002 Buell Blast that runs rough after initial startup. When the bike is first started, it seems to be fine. Once it idles down the problems start. Backfires when given throttle and stalls at idle, Checked plugs, changed gas, checked rubber connector between carb and manifold intake, al good...used spray carb cleaner without disaasemblying carb..problems persist.It has electronic sensors for fueling which I think may be the problem..Am I on the correct path? Any suggestions?

Check valve clearances, and low voltage can cause backfire, battery voltage should rise when revved, use a digital multy meter

2002 Buell Blast is spitting oil from the crankcase breather hose. What do I do?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to Buell Blast.

On a bike with no service history it would be standard practice to change oil and filter.

It seems to be a known issue.

I have a Buell Blast, 2000 model, that has been sitting for quite a while. I cleaned the carb and made sure all passage ways were clear, but when I put it back on it will idle very roughly and if you

You need to have the bike serviced at a shop that can correctly clean the carb and empty the gastank and put fresh fuel in. Sometimes carbs get dirty in places you cannot see. Those places are the reason your bike doesn't run right.

My 2002 buell blast is newly re-jetted after Jardine exhaust was put on. it was running like ****, would bog down and had very little power,so followed advice for re-jet and cleaned it out really good but...

You messed something up on the carb. either the float is too high or too low, letting in too much gas or not enough. or you might have plugged up one of the fuel passages inside the carb accidently. either way - you have had a good fiddle with it - probably time to take it to a shop.

My 2003 Buell Blast 500cc has a problem with idling...I cleaned the ENTIRE carb and the jets also checked ALL hoses going to and from the engine and the carb, checked the spark plug, cleaned the gas, check...

Hi,
Did you clean the jets so that you could see through them? Also have you checked the vacuum diaphragm? You get to it by taking off the top of the carb? It should be sealed and not leaking. could be the carb boot as well. Once I have more information I will try and assist you further
Thank you,

2001 Blast has trouble when starting. Once it runs for a bit down the road runs okay. smells rich on initial startup and seems to flood out.

these bike come equipped with auto enrichners and after two minutes they shut off, now you can start there with plug and play and also try the engine temp.sensor unplug and see if there is a difference ,if not throttle position sensor may need to be zero and recalitbraded good luck

2002 buell blast is running rough - missing - backfiring

hard to say w/ seeing it; it does sound as if they replaced everything w/o really finding the problem first; try better fuel and clean petcock; when dies is it electrical( all lights out) or does it sputter and choke off? sorry; I know it can be frustrating check all wiring under seat looking for loose or broken connectors or ground wires
