Hi All,
Since I bought the bike, i never used the reserve fuel. I suspect my previous owner never used it either.
the bike is a 2005 model.
Should I drain out the reserve fuel (and if so, how) and refill with fresh fuel?
Should I ride the bike running on the reserve tank until it runs dry and then put it back to normal tank fuel?
How do I re-fuel the reserve tank?

Cheers

Its the same tank mate, the reserve tap is just a tap positioned lower down than the normal one on the same tank, so no, you don't need to run it dry Thumbs Up .

I would try and avoid using the reserve part of the tank, due to all the crap in the bottom of the fuel tank.

Everytime you fill up you will be mixing new fuel with the old fuel, so no need to drain it. Thumbs Up
