Re: New (to me) GZ250
I am one of the people having the problem. Easy fixed his with a new air filter. Mine apparently required more thorough cleaning of emission system (???) I haven't picked it up yet - maybe tomorrow. I will let you know. I see you are in CA as well so we probably have the same emissions set up. Mine won't idle for shit until it's warmed up for about 15 minutes too.
I think there is typical tuneup stuff in the manual. I'd check and probably replace the spark plug, definitely change oil and oil filter, and I would recommend you thoroughly inspect the tires. At four plus years, probably neglected ones, they may be in bad shape. The idling is an annoyance, but bad tires will kill you.
Also, try putting some seafoam in the next few tanks and get some long rides in. Sometimes you just have to heat things up and get some gas through the thing. Try not to leave the choke on too long - that can make the carb and plug worse.
I'll give you a full report on mine fter I get it (if it is even fixed!). My issues did not surface until about 500 miles after I think I put too much oil in it.
