Re: selling the gz250

Great choice for an upgrade. Not too big and not too small. Time for that 1st oil change and filter now. Enjoy and post some opinions about the bike after a few rides.

Is it RED ??? :biggrin:

You won't be disappointed.
Keep the idle speed up where it belongs; that will make it easier to get used to the different gearing of the 4 speed.
Don't go out in traffic until you DO get used to the different clutch feel.
Like the GZ, you will probably need to keep a little choke ON until it warms up.
Unlike the GZ (and a lot of other bikes), you can shift down to 1st just a little earlier because of the higher gearing.
In addition to the other routine maintenance stuff, put some B12 in the gas.

I'll save the bad news for later !! :roll:

Re: selling the gz250

Becca, try this site. Mustang Seats. They ain't cheap, but they are comfy. I've had several over the years, and they are the best (IMHO).

I couldn't do more than about 60 miles before serious numbbutt set in. After 300 I was not enjoying it.
