Per gz250 manual downloaded from this site, page 7
FUEL
Your vehicle requires reqular unleaded gasoline with a minimum pump octane rating of 87. Unleaded gasoline containg MTBE (Mehty Tertiary Butyl Ether)(also known as RFG-reformualed gas) may be used in your motorcycle if the MTBE content is not greater than 15%. Blends of unlead gasoline and ethanol (grain alcohol), known as gasohol, may be used in your vehilce if the alcohol content is not greater than 10%. Do NOT use fuels containing more than 5% methanol under any circumstances.

There is no mention of an upper rating limit, however, I do have the 1999 manual which states use gasoline of at least 91 octane.
