Could that be any more confusing ??
Like others have said, on this bike the LONG end of the lever points to the active position and, yes, that is the opposite of a lot of other bikes.
BUT
There is only ONE tank, with different taps above the petcock, so it is all the same gas.
It is a good idea to run for a few miles on RES every once in a while to get any water that has settled in the bottom of the tank but not all the time.
If you run on RES all the time, you will eventually be sorry when you run out and have to walk.
AND, lastly, there is no OFF position; the vacume control automatically turns the gas off in ON or RES positions.
