Re: 2009 GZ250, SoCal

OK, I waited 2 weeks to post an ad on CL because there were > 50 looks at gz250bike.com but nobody interested on the GZ250 forum contacted me. I chose to give the GZ250 list first chance since I...

Re: Hello from an 85 GN250 in Sydney Australia

Longest trip, 80 miles, uncomfortable seat

I got my 2009 GZ about 2 months ago with 132 miles. Practically a new moto. I had an accident with my big sidecar moto a couple weeks ago and had to take it in to get the sidecar realigned at...

Re: Hello from an 85 GN250 in Sydney Australia

Water warrier: You're right. Not much profit in a small simple street bike. I have a '96 ford ranger 4 cyl with 186k miles still running nicely, though well used looks wise. If foreign moto...

Re: Kawasaki Eliminator 125 Rear Shocks

Interesting about shortening sidestand. My GZ is stock. I live in SoCal where we have earthquakes from time to time. With that, I've put a piece of wood on the floor because the GZ leans over pretty...

Re: Some good reading for us bike drivers!

Re: 300 kit on E bay

Interesting mods. Looks like that bike will always be a bobber because it appears the frame has been sawn off. I suggest taping up the open ends to keep out water. I had to add a pad to my seat to...

Re: Make my GZ250 sound like a Harley!

Sorry, late arrival to the thread. In current California law, you CAN'T mess with intake or exhaust mods or suffer whims of any minor legal inspection for any minor offense. Even dumb ol former Gov...

Re: GPS app for Android

Rider,
At 165 miles the engine stopped. I was at a light in left turn lane and pushed the bike over to right side of road (lucky nobody recognized me). I thought to use the prime petcock position...

Re: GPS app for Android

Yes, I fill up to filler neck and no more so that fuel doesn't slosh out. In California, the pump nozzles have "gaiters" on them to contain escaping fumes. When the pump automatically shuts off, the...

Re: Just bought a used GZ, what checks?

1) I checked my GZ today and there's not much of a tube to put an inline fuel filter between the petcock and the carb. Further, what tube is there is all downhill to the carb. Does it hurt if I add...

My 2009 just hit 600 miles so was time for first oil change. Local Suzuki store had filters for $5 and change so I got 2. Also got 2 o-rings that are behind the filter just in case, but didn't have...
