I don't know if UpRev is similar in user function to ECUTEK. If so I would reset the ecu and do a once over to ensure all parts were installed correctly and nothing like electrical connections/harnesses have worked their way loose ! Also check for damaged harnesses/wiring around the places you were working. What spark plugs did you install and where did you purchase them from ?

Trying to find receipt, but I went with OEM from autozone. Spark plugs were replaced about 18 months ago. I was reading an older thread on here where a user had water that accumulated in the bottom of his tank. Wonder if that’s a possibility from the years of it sitting often.
ZoomZ and Smokey Nagata like this.

It's possible, specially if you use ethanol blended gas and you dont
follow proper storage procedures for gas tanks.

If you are concerend, best way is to drain tank now. Get a bottle of REDLINE S-1 fuel treatment and add it to a fresh fill of gas.

Not sure if there is a drain plug for the Z fuel tank.

You 'll have to drive it for seevral miles to get new gas and cleaner to flow through system and do it's thing.
