2008 buell blast 2100 miles
alright so recently my blast has been running like complete **** and it seemed to come on all of the sudden.
when i fire it up in the mornings it will fire up fine and idle up and seem fine and then as the idle drops it starts to sputter real bad and i have to keep giving it gas to keep it alive and when i give it blips of throttle it acts as almost its getting to much fuel.
once i start riding it, it seems to run fine as I'm riding but when i come to a stop light or something and it has to idle its all i can do to keep it alive as it sputters and the engine will almost like jerk back and forth and sometimes it'll make a popping noise of some sort and i can feel it real bad from the air box area like its popping from the air box.
also I've noticed recently that its been popping more on de-accel and when sitting as i blip the throttle to keep it running it'll kind of pop/backfire too.
i pulled the air filter and it was rather clean but the airbox had a oily/gas residue in it.
im leaning to believe its a air/fuel mixture issue with the carb but not really sure where to start with this one.

Sounds like your idle speed is too low and your cold start is too rich.
