Thought you were going to post: "...and I'm already looking at a bigger one!"
Have fun. Ps. The sissy bars I've seen are expensive.

Re: Bought a gz250 3 hours ago...
Yup, that is a GZ all right. Welcome to the forum and world of 2 wheels. Do you have a service history of the bike ?? I was thinking the valves may be in need of a check/adjust at that mileage. Remember the bikes needs TLC and soft whispers to keep it happy. Scratch that, my mind wanders of late. The GZ needs to be ridden often to keep it happy and you grinning.

Re: Bought a gz250 3 hours ago...
Yeah the previous owner recently had her serviced, but I know a "retired" moto mechanic who will check her out in exchange for a six pack. I have been reading the owner's manual and the service manual to get familiar with this system. Im not new to small engines (lawnmower ultralites are my previous experience).
Thanks for the advice on the valves and the carb cleaner! I will take your words to heart!
