The other day I realized that there is a petcock under our gas tank. I didn't try it yet, but does anyone know if it's an on/off or an on/reserve?

It's an on/off setup. A few guys on here have posted about picking their bikes up from a service only to get stuck on the side of the road because the dealership didn't turn the petc0ck back on.

LOL Unlikely anyone is ever going to use the phrase pet**** to search the threads.

Yeah I think the R is for "run". You'll probably only ever use it to get the tank painted or remove it for a more major wiring job but as I write this it might not be a bad idea to flip it on and off occasionally so that when you really need to use it it doesn't leak or the like.

Note: If you do happen to follow my advice make sure you just work the valve. Otherwise you'll be in the off position and run the small underseat tank and the fuel pump dry.
