Re: Bought my first bike!
That wouldn't work, because the primary tank just empties into the reserve tank first as you use fuel. If you left it on reserve, you'd be flat out of gas. It's not set up like dual tanks on a truck, where you can choose which tank you're using. On bikes with only a single tank, the petcock had two fuel supply tubes. The primary one is higher in the tank, so when the bike starts to sputter, you switch to the "reserve" side which is right at the bottom of the tank. This gives you notice that you're about out and you can get to a station.
