You could go for a ride with the cap in place but loose (try not to lose it) and see if it still bogs down.
The best way to see if this is the problem is to go for a ride and when it stops, quickly remove the cap and hear if there is air rushing into the tank by the sound it makes. The problem is that you need the key to get the cap off, you can't do this while you are riding. The vent is basically in the cap - see if you can clean out a little hole somewhere in the cap, maybe around the gasket. I no longer have the GZ so I can;t give you any more info on it, except that it's in the cap.
