Its the Newbie here.....
Had the bike 2 weeks and started to wonder when it would go on to reserve......
You've guessed it, I ran out of fuel completely...!
When it began fading and spluttering, I switched to reserve and nothing happened.....it just stopped.
Luckily I was only about 600 yards from a service station - quick piece of advice: DON'T PLAN ON PUSHING A Z VERY FAR...
Does this mean the reserve tap is faulty and needs cleaning/new fuel tap kit etc? Or was I already on reserve?
I assume the lever points to the various marks by the rounded end with the little raised line/pointer....or is it the lever itself that has to point?....now I'm getting confused!

HELP

Thanks mate, I've just been out to have a look and yes, I was switching the tap to "reserve" instead of "on"......
This is what happens when you have had bikes for the last 10 years with fuel injection....!

I took my bike to have the carbs balanced. The guy did a cracking job except he drained petrol from my tank to fill his "dummy" tank that he used whilst balancing the carbs. I went home on reserve thinking I would be OK but had to push for a while.

The worst bit was that I got to the petrol station and they had a problem and all the pumps were off. The wife rescued me in the end with a petrol can !!

Just on the subject of pushing your Z,my regulater conked one night and ended up pushing it home....MMM not good.Why is it you always see someone you know.
