The first thing is put fuel in the tank. Apparently you're so low it won't pickup fuel in the run position. Also put in a new air filter.

Sorry it took so long to get back. Glad to hear you got it going. Agree with mole 2. New air cleaner. I would pull petcock and check the filters in it as well. When you get a chance, I would check the valve adjustment as well. They tighten up and cause alot of problems. When I checked mine, the exhaust had no clearance at all. Glad I checked when I did. Run seafoam thru gas tank on regular basis. Will Keep you and your bike happy. Enjoy the GZ.

The GZ will run on 87. No need to buy higher. This will save some money.
