I am buying a 2003 Buell Blast from a friend. The bike has only 7000km on it and seems to be in a good condition except for one thing. When it's cold the bike has trouble starting and idles roughly and can even stall if you don't give it some gas.

It warms up quickly and after a couple of minutes the problem goes away and the bike runs fine.

Any advice on how to possibly fix this problem would be much appreciated.

that's normal for a blast.

Not normal for a Blast. 12k on mine and runs great. Try bumping up the idle a tad.

Sounds like the auto enrichener is a bit flaky...run some Seafoam fuel treatment in a tank of good gas...it just may start working properly.

A properly sorted Blast puts the "carburation" on an XB to absolute shame.
