Upgrades to a GZ or upgrades to another bike from a GZ ??? The following applies to both.

#1 A rider who has taken and passed a rider training course.
#2 A rider who has read "Proficient Motorcycling" by David Hough.
#3 A rider who wears All The Gear All The Time(ATGATT).
#4 A Stebel air horn, 139 bd is really loud.
#5 A rider who makes a point of being visible on the street.

My opinion only but I live by these upgrades.

1. Windshield
2. Back rest
3. 16t sprocket
4.Aftermarket exhaust
5.Air filter upgrade.

Dupo's answer is the only real one. :lol:

Re: upgrades?
 

This bike simply won't get that much faster.
I think all of the "upgrades" should focus on creature comforts and proper operation.

1. Throttle lock cruise control (or Windshield)
2. Clean/tight chain
3. 16T front sprocket
4. Air in tires
5. Synthetic oil

Stebel air horn, headlight and brakelight modulators, engine guard (crash bar), things for safety and not more power. Those are a complete waste of time, energy and money. If you want more power, spend the money investing in a larger bike.

actually yeterday was a cold day and my gz ran so strong i was running 75 mph at 3/4 throttle up slight hills i was shocked at how much power my little thumper suddenly had. now im sure my bike is set up to rich for hot weather but damn near perfect for yesterdays colder weather! YES A GZ ACTUALLY FELT BALLSY!!

Re: upgrades?
 

Most certainly not a waste of time, energy and money. My bike had more power,idled better,started easier when cold,and handled the highway easier.I'm not one to waste time,or money.I have a bigger bike and still have done many performance mods to it.
:mad: :shocked:
