What, you didn't add a filter like the rest of us? Dood, what else have you been glossing over?

I didn't know you could! Unlike my VFR the Z is gravity feed. I assumed this would cause the bike to maybe run a bit lean.
Wasn't sure I could do this.

I had one on my gravity fed CB750, and it did nothing more than keep the fuel clean. Fuel will flow from gravity just fine, at least until the filter clogs up.

That and I have to figure out where to put it! The hose that comes from the petcock to the carbs is wrapped in wire. Maybe I can splice it in?

How much space do you have for the filter? When I put mine in, I cut out a hunk of the fuel line the size of the filter and yeah, just spliced it in.

Yup, it's right there handy. Just pull the springy thing-a-ma-bob out of the way and insert peace of mind.
Oh, and BTW, the GPZ petcock is only gravity feed on 'Prime' setting. the on 'On' or 'Reserve' it's vacuum feed.
