That was a fast bike. I borrowed my buddies gs750 and first try I almost flew off the thing cause I only had one hand on the bars. Holding on only opened the throttle full open. Luckily at around 70 in first gear the acceleration waned enough to grab the brake and stop before the red light. Now that it had my attention I had a blast. Cop pulled me over just to ask what it was. He was impressed at the acceleration! No ticket.
My GS750 caught me off guard. It's heavy, around 550#, and only has 750cc's, so didn't think anything about it. Well found it had a lot of power in the low rpm range and really loved high RPMs too. Rear wheel broke away from me when I got sloppy with the throttle/clutch at a light. Fun bike, 6k is about the sweet spot when cursing down the highway, smooth.
I was having trouble with my gz250 getting and staying running until i ran some sea foam through it, starts up right away and gets going much quicker. However I've noticed if i don't ride it for a week its a bit of a pain to start again. Gonna run another tank or two through and if that doesn't fix it then time for a carb swap. It's great if you just wanna get the bike running asap but obviously needs a proper carb cleaning. Useful in certain situations but idk if its really "miracle" stuff. Maybe if i run more I'll change my mind. We'll see
Good info here, I'm at point I'm riding frequently. When winter comes around I will take steps to winterize the bike, but as the weather cools my riding frequency will decline. So I will keep an look out for this behavior. The bike came to me with some real gummed up carbs and don't want a repeat of that. Thank you!
