I noticed with the bikes we had that the idle would affect the first shift into gear. Too slow of an idle and the tranny parts are not spinning fast enough to "Snick" into gear smoothly. The GZ has a smooth tranny for a budget/price point bike.
Have you ever heard a H-D crash into gear? Sure, we all have at some point. It is designed that way and part of the H-D mystique. 90% of all Japanese bikes are smooth as glass. One exception is the Honda Rebel 250 with it's pain in the butt 1st gear. Honda has never fixed it from what I have read and Lynda hated the Rebel she had during her training. She really appreciated her GZ after the Rebel.

Yes I have thanks for that advice the problem seems to have gone with the stand not turning bike off.I went for a little ride warmed up the bike and then turned the idle switch back to factory settings and al seems to be running better I thought it could be running lean az there was a longer rev after I stopped the revs but that's gone too more I learn the less worried id be thank you
