Intro and gas octane question
Just picked up a 2004 GZ250 2 weeks ago for my wife to learn on.She has about 10 hours on the bike now and seems to handle it pretty good.She is only 5' tall with small hands and short inseam so this was as big as she wanted too start with.The only question i have right now is what octane gas are u guys and girls running in this bike. Thanks Ziggy

Re: Intro and gas octane question
Hello Ziggy. I switched on and off from Marathon gas and then tried Shell V power. The bike seems to run better on Shell V power, so I have stayed with it for almost 3/4 of a year. Like others say, the GZ can run on about anything, so I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. I like the way the bike has been running with the V power so that is what I stick with. I also put in some Seafoam every 3rd or 4th tank full. I have had no problems with the fuel. The Marathon gas I used was the regular grade, mid grade and the higher grade. The GZ seemed to run the same on all of those grades. When I tried the V power, after 2 tanks the bike just seemd to idle, and run much smoother. That is what I use. Hope it helps. GZBrian
