So Since I'm new to motorcycles I have a question about where the switch should be turned to..it has a little arrow and its currently pointing down, Im afraid that I might be running on reserve please any help and pictures will be appreciated....

 

It should be ...

down=main supply
pointed forward=off
up=reserve

Welcome to the very cool sport of motorcycling by the way.

Cruise the new-member section for a lot of q/a on wrenching and riding tips.
The how to's, both general and bike-specific are another good resource.

Be safe, don't be seduced by the dark-side of motorcycles....SPEED.
In a nut-shell, that's the best way to thrive/survive through your beginner stage.
