The Vlasov fluid model is used to study the m=0 and m=1 internal and free boundary modes in a collisionless, large Larmor radius Z pinch. Two methods (initial value and variational) are employed, and give good agreement. The growth rate can be reduced from its zero Larmor radius value by a factor of up to 10 for m=1, and up to 3 for m=0. Stability thresholds and the role of resonant ions are discussed.
