Sorry but I have sort of dumb question about the petcock. If I am not mistaken from everything I have read forward is reserve, down is on and back is primary.
I have had my bike for just over a week and never touched the petcock but just went outside to check it's setting and it was set to primary. From what I read that is not necessary good to have it on all the time, so my question is...
1. Why is there a primary setting if it is not good to use all the time? When would I use it?
2. When would I switch to reserve (I assume if I run out of gas in the on postion)? How much gas is in the reserve area?
3. What should I do since I have been running the bike on primary for the last week and what negative effects does that have on my bike?
Thanks for the help in advance.
