Stuttering at high revs

I have a problem with scoot stuttering at high revs, which is more pronounced when in 2/3rd gears. Everything on the scoot is completely standard. (TV 200). Should I be looking at an electrical problem or possibly carburettor. Any suggestions very welcome, Thanks

E10 fuel addatives

Sorry if this has been asked before, but has anyone used one of the fuel additives now available to combat E10 fuel. Obviously I try to use E5 but it is not always available. Any thoughts?
