PETCOCK
CARBURETOR CHOKE
The fuel petcock has three positions: ON, RES (reserve), and OFF. For regular use, turn petcock
to the ON position. If you run out of fuel in the ON position, a small amount of reserve fuel can
be accessed by turning the petcock to the RES position.
WARNING: Before riding, always check to make sure that your fuel petcock is turned to the
ON position. With the fuel valve closed, your motorcycle may start with just the fuel that
is still in the carburetor, but will stall once the lines are empty, leading to loss of control
or an accident.
The choke is located on the left side of the carburetor. It has three positions OFF, Half-Choke,
and ON. If the engine is cold, pull the choke lever up to the ON position. Once the motorcycle
has warmed up, make sure to return the choke to the OFF (down) position as the motorcycle
will not run properly with the choke on.
