How long did your bike sit idle? Did you treat the fuel in your tank with Stabil or another gas treatment product? It could be shellac build-up in your fuel system.
I like to run Seafoam in my fuel about every 6 months or so now that my GZ is no longer my daily rider. 1 oz. per gallon capacity. It keeps everything squeaky clean.
You might have sediment on the inlet screen of your petcock or build-up behind the diaphragm. Options : drain tank, check petcock inlet, take petcock apart and clean, and if all else fails, clean carburetor.

Hi again , yea i use stabilizators also a high octane fuel, i will check again because a snow fell here again, but i think the air fuel mixture is too lean , because when i open throtle , it seems bad acceleration ! Could it be a reason? On idle and on low rps with smooth throttle open is ok than max throttle and goes bad?

It could be a stuck float. Also, you might want to start it up and run it with the petcock set on prime to see if that makes a difference. I would think that would determine if the diaphragm in the petcock is bad. Worth a try.
