Welcome.What year,how many miles?Is this your first bike?

:yes: :tup:

[Asatrublacksmith]

My first bike, its a 2003 and its got 6,100 miles...
I still need to get a sissy bar, my girlfriend is so small she might blow away...XD

[Viirin]

Should have loads more miles in her if you look after it and for that you've come to the right place

Ride safe

Thought you were going to post: "...and I'm already looking at a bigger one!"

Have fun.

Ps. The sissy bars I've seen are expensive.

Yup, that is a GZ all right. Welcome to the forum and world of 2 wheels. Do you have a service history of the bike ?? I was thinking the valves may be in need of a check/adjust at that mileage. Remember the bikes needs TLC and soft whispers to keep it happy. Scratch that, my mind wanders of late. The GZ needs to be ridden often to keep it happy and you grinning.

And it has a VERY temperamental carb,so get a can of carb cleaner & keep it handy. :2tup:

Fixed that for you !! :biggrin:

Yeah the previous owner recently had her serviced, but I know a "retired" moto mechanic who will check her out in exchange for a six pack. I have been reading the owner's manual and the service manual to get familiar with this system. Im not new to small engines (lawnmower ultralites are my previous experience).
Thanks for the advice on the valves and the carb cleaner! I will take your words to heart!

Welcome aboard. Ride safe and keep the shiney side up.

Congrats. Ive found the bike to be about the easiest thing Ive ever worked on. But then again we have a great forum and the manuals are great. This is my first bike and Ive already had the tank and carb off a hundred times, Tires, brakes, chain, chrome, etc. And..... its all back together properly.

Enjoy that bike, and ride safe :2tup:

The Zuk C-50SE is a very nice dark blue and far nicer looking than a black one.
