Sputtering below 3k only in 1st and 2nd

Today I went on a pretty long ride with about 40+ people. At the end of the ride my bike did not want to come off the line unless it was revved to about 3k. Then 2nd will sputter in the lower rpms too. Once you hit 3rd gear the bike is back to normal. Anyone had the same issue? If you need anymore info please let me know.

You need to clean or replace the pilot jets.
And why are you riding it below 3K?

I just find it odd that after riding almost 200 miles it happens at the end of the day.

Could of picked up so water in the fuel also, which would count as dirty fuel

Sounds almost like a vacuum leak or the enrichment circuit being jacked. Good luck with your wallet.
