has the three positions:
OFF: With the lever in this position, fuel will not flow. Always return the lever to this posi-
tion when the engine is not running.
ON: With the lever in this position, fuel flows to the carburetor. Normal riding is done
with the lever in this position.
RES: This indicates reserve. If you run out of fuel while riding, move the lever to this
position. FILL THE TANK AT THE FIRST
OPPORTUNITY. BE SURE TO SET
THE LEVER TO “ON ” AFTER REFUEL-
ING.
