[QUOTE="Old Guy, post: 1451645, member: 35438"] My ZRX has a petcock with a reserve position, but it's been on reserve since 1999. :) I've done that with bikes with petcocks since about 1984 when I got my first bike with a gas gauge. It was an '83 Suzuki, and the petcock was behind some bodywork on the left side behind a stupid little door that I couldn't operate with gloves on. I stopped once to get off and open that stupid little door, and it stayed on reserve after that as did everything since with a reserve petcock. The key, for me, is a consistent gauge. It doesn't have to be perfect -- just consistent enough that over a couple of tanks I can figure out where, on that gauge, I really must stop. [/QUOTE]
