Hi, I have a strangest thing with amount of gas I put in the bike. According to the manual the tank supposed to fit total 4.8 gallons of gas, 2.2 gallons of which goes to reserve amount. However when I fill up at the pump the amount that fills the tank is 2.6. This amount plus reserve make up the total tank's capacity, which leads me to believe that reserve gas is never used and just stays in the tank.
There is another problem I have, which indicates my theory might be correct. The reserve never worked for me since I bought the bike. What happens is I run out of the main gas capacity, but when I turned the valve to reserve I still had no gas available.
So my question is where do these 2.2 gallons of gas go. Do they just stay in the tank? Can anyone confirm my or correct my theory? One guy told me there is a problem with the petcock, but I don't know what this thing is, where it is or how to fix it. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
