Re: My GZ sputters when I accelerate? why?

Clean the carb - try first with Berryman's B12 Chemtool or Seafoam to soak in the carb for overnight and if that doesn't work you may have to remove it and thoroughly clean out the jets. It's likely gummed up from sitting for a year not being used. Also change the gas and put in fresh stuff.
And you're not riding it like that with the choke on, are you?
You also have to go over the whole bike, check tire pressures, fully charge up the battery if it's still good, check the oil, check that all the lights and safety switches work, make sure there's no critters living inside the exhaust partially obstructing it.
