Okay cause previous owners are notorious for messing with the arrow position (like mine):
Turned fully to the right: On
Turned halfway: Off
Turned fully left: Reserve

Like I said, never trust a previous owner. They messed with the **** on mine so it's Forward = Reserve, Down = Off, back = On. Just being too lazy to fix it.

That's why I gave the instructions I did

To find out which was is off just try every postion. Let the bike idle in all three. Whichever one cuts off after a few mins is the off position. Then if you want to find reserve just add like half a gallon of gas to your tank once its empty and see if it runs in the last two postitions. If it wont start it one try the other and if it works you just found yopur reserve. Thats what i had to do. lol

Trust me, turned fully counter-clockwise, the fuel is On. Middle is off. And turned fully clockwise, you're running Reserve. The **** for the petcock can be taken off and the arrows positiiining changed. But the operation for the petcock cannot he changed.
