Not all fuel filters have the same flow rate. How do you know which is correct for this bike?
It's a single cylinder, 250cc, gravity fed engine. I highly doubt that the flow rate of a fuel filter will be a problem.
If you walk into a bike shop, do you ask them about flow rates when they hand you the universal filter they have hanging on the wall? Of course not. We just kind of assume that because it's made for a motorcycle that it's better.

If it's good enough for a 15Hp Briggs, it's good enough for the GZ

(That being said, I do have a "motorcycle specific" fuel filter on my bike but I also have one on the Murray riding mower because they were on sale and they are clear so I can keep a better eye on it.) But for small engines like this, a fuel filter is a fuel filter.
