Re: My GZ

Hey there 2wheelerwill

I am new to the Forum but I was sitting here reading stuff - I just recently (6 days ago) purchased a 2005 GZ250 and she is like new - sat in garage most of her life - However after taking her to a shop to get the Carb done, I thought the idle was too high - so I re-adjusted the idle lower, now I am reading here in your thread that the idle needs to be higher then one would expect? This bike is my 6th motorcycle, but I have never had one this small (249cc's) and never an air-cooled bike - does the 250 require a higher idle? I just yesterday finished a 1200 mile trip on her in 3 days and now I am hoping that I did not do any engine damage. I just cranked her up and she sounds fine engine wise... Still I am now thinking I should have trusted the mechanic and not my ears - hehehe
