Looks great! I wish I had a stereo on mine. Get a little tired of hearing myself sing (or whistle.)

An MP3 & earbuds are a good, cheap, alternative. :2tup:

Gotta agree with Alantf about the many oil changes. A good syn oil will easily go 3000 miles with little or no degradation to it's properties. The only real thing to worry about is the shear resistance of the oil and that is easily monitored. When the tranny gets a little balky and a bit harder to shift it is breaking down the shear properties of the oil. Modern oils are tough and I highly doubt the GZ has enough power running through the tranny to harm the oil's shear properties. Save the extra $ for the new tires you will need eventually.

ya I agree its over kill but I figure why not give it a try and see what I can get out of it. I bought two three packs of filters online for under 15 bucks a pack. I guess why I did it most of all is for when I do drive it to work 40 miles one way full trottle for long periods of time on such a small bike motor scares me so I figure why not try to help the bike last as long as i can by alittle cheep maintance.

Looks like the only down side is wearing out the drain plug.

Looks good! Welcome. You'll find more here than you'll ever need. Like a GZ doesn't have a master link! LOL! Yeah, just found that out today.

Most "factory" chains don't.You will mostly find a master link in replacement chains.Just be sure to keep the closed end of "lock" pointed in direction of rotation.
