I used after-market seals with no problem,for the same reason.Bought mine from a independent dealer for around $30.00.

pulled the trigger on the ebay seals.

on a side potentially stupid side note my top speed does not seem to have increased since my jet upgrade , although i haven't adjust the air/fuel screw

You will very little difference in top speed as the G.Z only has a limited amount of horse power.The whole point of re jetting is to make the bike run a little richer as it is very lean from the factory or if you modify intake and or exhaust.If you put on the 16t front sprocket you will sacrifice top speed for lower revs on the road.When I done my mods,exhaust,intake,front sprocket,and carb re jetting,I found that I had a bike that was more responsive and started easier when cold.None of the mods will increase your top end.That's the nature of the beast.

Normally you should only have to prime the bike after it has been sitting for awhile.If the bike is rode every day you should only need to use the choke.In your case you may have had a air lock after just installing the new petcock.Just a thought:Make sure the drain plug on the bowel is tight, and not draining slowly over night.
