No actually, you are getting pretty good with the mechanical/operational advice.
What with your "quick study/slow learner" situation, just try to remember to follow your own advice when the time comes. :poke2: :biggrin:
First thing to do is charge the battery. The GZ will refuse to start when the battery gets low but not completely dead. Next, check the plug. While it's out, turn the engine over a couple of times but don't LOOK in the hole while you do that; gas might come flying out !!!
P.S. The "choke" on a GZ, and lots of other modern bikes, is not really a choke. It is an additional little pathway in the carb (called an enricher circuit) that introduces extra gas AT IDLE ONLY and speeds up the idle speed a bit. So.....riding with the "choke" partially on should do absolutely no damage at all as the extra gas at speeds above idle is tiny.
