No Difference.Marauder is just the European/Canadian name for the GZ. ;) :)

... And in the US we get the boring one called "GZ 250" with the warning stickers on the tank, and lights always on... In California they even must have a carbon canister for the fuel vapors...

PS and it's set so lean here that you can't switch the chocke off until it's really warmed up.

Re-jet the carb, drill out the brass plug, then you can adj the mixture, and you will find your bike to be preforming much better than before. This mod and replacing the front sprocket with a 16 tooth were the best mods for my GZ. CMS

This shows the positioning of the badges. Just make sure that your knees don't catch on them in your normal riding position.

I removed the stickers from my back (the Suzuki and the GZ 250 ones) Did I somehow lower the value of my bike or something or is it just aesthetic?

It's your bike. Do what you want and don't worry about a bit of possible depreciation.

Think of all the new friends you may meet by riding an unmarked bike.
